Rosary Campaign Launched for World Youth Day Several organizations are coming together to promote a campaign launched by Family Rosary International to unite people worldwide in praying the rosary for the success of World Youth Day. ZENIT interviewed Holy Cross Father, James Phalan, director of Family Rosary International, about this campaign, which is gaining publicity across the globe. ZENIT: What is "Firm in the Faith with Mary?" Father Phalan: It is a simple call to people all over the world to join in prayer of the holy rosary for World Youth Day each Saturday from the beginning of May until the event, August 16-21 in Madrid. It is, of course, directed to young people but also to people of all ages, everywhere! Pray with your family, pray with a parish group, or pray in solitude at whatever time you would prefer, knowing that you are united in prayer with people on every continent. ZENIT: How will "Firm in the Faith with Mary" work? Father Phalan: For this wide promotion of "Firm in the Faith with Mary" we need to make full, dynamic and up-to-date use of the Internet. The campaign website, video resources and social networking will be accessible at firminfaith.org or firmesenlafe.org. Also, resources for promotion of the campaign will be available for download from this page. The interactive and video functions of the Internet will allow a rich sharing of prayer, reflection, and web resources so that we can grow in our life in Christ as we journey together on our World Youth Day pilgrimage. This journey has already begun! At the same time as we reach out to people around the globe electronically, we hope that local communities will join in prayer of the rosary and in sharing faith--and that they will bring their experience to other communities through the web. Uniting many people and local communities, we have, through God's grace, the chance to do something truly remarkable--to create through this campaign a global, interactive community united in and through prayer.

The director and editors of The Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
One Man's Mission to Spread Divine Mercy On March 18 and 19, people from all areas of the state of Michigan, as far away as Midland, assembled at the Marian Center in Joy Valley to hear the message of Divine Mercy. Jim Miller, a lay apostle of Divine Mercy, hosted three conferences, sharing his love, faith, and devotion to the message of God's mercy. Jim's message of mercy, his revealing of a new Divine Mercy devotion, and his quick wit, left the faithful inspired and committed to sharing the message of Divine Mercy. [below are excerpts from his recap of the weekend] We were also celebrating the Feast of Saint Joseph, the patron of the Marian Center. I explained how on Christmas Eve 1936, the Mother of God appeared to Faustina holding the Infant Jesus with Saint Joseph silently standing there. I spoke of how Saint Joseph urged Faustina to have patience and strong devotion to him and the works of Divine Mercy and how Saint Joseph would protect her from harm.... I told of how the Blessed Mother spoke pretty much the same words to Faustina and to you and me: Speak to the world of His great mercy and prepare it for His Second Coming. Speak to the world while it is still time for mercy. These were the words of the Blessed Mother to Sister Faustina when Mary appeared to her on March 25, 1925.
