Context of Prayer for a
re flourishing of Faith across the British Isles
An
opportunity to pray for a re-flourishing of faith across the British Isles as a
means of preparing for a New Spring Time within the Church, so that we
Christians of these lands might spread the Gospel in its fullness in a renewed
and joyous way. We hope that Rosary on the Coast will bring from heaven the
grace of renewed evangelistic outreach and zeal as we further the work of the
New Evangelisation.
Context of Prayer for the Sanctity of the Human
Person
The Abortion Act came into effect on 27 April 1968. This Act has
overseen the killing of nearly nine million unborn children and yet society is
in denial. The rosary is a powerful spiritual instrument to bring about a
return to belief in God, an end to evil and for a rebuilding of a culture of
Life.
Context of Prayer for
Peace in our National life and throughout the World
There
is a great unease in people’s hearts as helplessly they watch daily the news
channels and their incessant litany of bad news and of horrors unthought-of. How
are we all to respond with both generosity and compassion? Rosary on the Coast seeks
through prayer for peace to awaken HOPE again and plead for PEACE from God
throughout the world.
Please do whatever you can to help promote this
Rosary prayer campaign as a contribution
to the re-evangelisation of our country. God bless
you, and thank you,
Rosary on

It’s instructive I think to compare Bishop Keenan’s earnest video presentation with Cardinal Nichols’ response. Bp Keenan mentions abortion and “aggressive secularism” directly and links the proposed act of witness to (horror of horrors!) those nasty Poles and their current patriotic and cultural pushback against the secular EU and all its works. Cardinal Nichols has asked his Secretary to tell us that he believes that “faith, life and peace” – the event’s overall mission statement, admittedly - are good things. It’s a shame he couldn’t have been a little more forthcoming as to what ails us as a society, and actually replied for himself. Perhaps like Pope Francis he has lots of letters to read.
ReplyDeleteI’ll be there – hopefully Gloucester will come into the mix or I’m looking at a trip to south Wales. I attended the last Rosary Crusade of Reparation (led by Bp Keenan) in London and it was an inspiring occasion. The time for us merely to respond defensively to the latest secular/modernist outrage is, I’m afraid, long past.
