A Moment with Mary: the holy rosary prayed live from St. Peter’s Square. This new initiative has been made possible thanks to the traditional instruments of social communication and the new social networks.
The rosary, which is recited Monday-Friday, from 4:00-4:30 p.m. (Rome time), uses the social networks, TV channels and the Internet to connect numerous people and groups worldwide with the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square. The initiative, which is part of the “new evangelization” for the Year of Faith, is a response to Pope Benedict XVI’s oft-repeated plea to “make the most of the rosary during the Year of Faith.”
The time of prayer at the Vatican is guided in turn by groups, communities and associations in Rome and throughout the world, united to one another through the technologies of communication. Each prayer session opens with a passage from the Word of God, followed by a testimony, and then the recitation of the rosary according to the prayer intentions sent in via various social networks.
