Rosary Group

Have I told you about our Rosary Prayer Group?

 

My friend, Kate, suggested the group last fall and we got approval from Father to meet at the Church each week, so we have had a Rosary Prayer Group meeting every week since the beginning of December.  Most months, we pick an intention and pray for that intention using a different set of mysteies each week.  Other times, we have switched it up, just because we cannot agree on one intention to do for the entire month. 

 

I was actually granted the privledge of getting a key to the church because of this group.  During the winter and spring, we were meeting in the Day Chapel for our prayer.  The Youth Minister, who was originally involved in helping organize and lead the group, would unlock and lock back up.  However, he got too busy to participate, and so was just coming down to church to unlock for us, and leaving again.  Not fair to Ted to keep making him do this, so Kate and I petitioned for one of us to get a key.  Funny thing is, since I got the key, I have not used it for the purpose for which it was granted to me.  I have unlocked for 7:30 Mass on Sunday twice (Father sometimes forgets that he is supposed to open the Church).  I have unlocked for Quilt Group when Rita couldn't come.  And I have even unlocked for Weight Watchers when the lady that usually opens up for them was out of town and her substitute was in Adoration.  But, with the weather being so nice the last few weeks, our Rosary group has been meeting outside by the Statue of the Blessed Virgin in the school court yard. 

 

As my Mother always told me, "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."  Although, I think she was talking about packing a sweatshirt when you go camping . . . not the key to the Church.
