32,000 Rosary Decades Offered for Pope's UK Visit Over 32,000 rosary decades and 11,500 Masses will be offered for Benedict XVI's Sept. 16-19 visit to the United Kingdom. Aid to the Church in Need reported that its prayer and action campaign for the intention of the Pope's visit has seen an "enthusiastic" response. Neville Kyrke-Smith, the national director of the aid agency's U.K. branch, said, "Whilst there has been much negativity in the secular media about the visit of Pope Benedict, it is a fantastic sign of faith that the friends of Aid to the Church in Need have renewed their commitment to pray for the Holy Father and the suffering Church." He noted that the spirit of Cardinal John Henry Newman, who will be beatified during the Pontiff's visit, is "very much alive--the generosity of so many Catholics speaks 'heart to heart' to all those who suffer today." "The commitment of prayer equates to over six months of continuous prayer," Kyrke-Smith affirmed.... Click here for the complete article.

Lourdes Give Me Strength; Pilgrim Coleen Smiles Again It's a miracle. Coleen Rooney has a smile back on her face yesterday. Her pilgrimage to Lourdes, following revelations about her husband Wayne's alleged fling with vice girls, seems to be performing wonders. And it helps that Coleen is surrounded by Team McLoughlin at the French shrine. She and baby Kai were joined by dad Tony, mum Colette, Auntie Jean and Wayne's Aunt Bridie. To match the rest of the family, Coleen swapped her usual designer clothes for a personalized hooded jumper. A family source revealed that Catholic Coleen, twenty-four, is in Lourdes to pray for adopted sister Rosie, twelve, who is in a hospital following a stroke caused by the rare brain disorder, Rett syndrome.
