Last night I saw a film called PRAY and it’s the story of the life and mission of Venerable Patrick Peyton. It moved me to tears. It’s so inspiring! It will be released to the world in October. I pray millions of people will see it and be moved by Father Peyton’s message that is so important for families today, "the family that prays together stays together."

It’s truly a blessing for us to be together again as a family of prayer. The Lord’s family, His Mother, brothers, sisters. As such, we are really grateful to receive your prayer requests for our prayer together. We have a convenient way to share prayer – to send a request for prayer and to pray for others’ intentions on our website. Please go to www.familyrosary.org and click on the menu for prayer that will lead you to the page to write your prayer request.

I have a young friend, Sophia, who’s four years old. Her grandmother told me recently that when Sophia heard that her grandfather was going to have some eye surgery, she immediately and quite naturally started to talk to God about the operation, very much like she was conversing and like He was talking back!
