Living Rosary missionnairies
With the encouragement of Cardinal Barbarin, Archbishop of Lyon, Lyons’s faithful people now resume Pauline Jaricot’s intuitions and regroup in “Living Rosary Mission” since October 2005.
​
As in Pauline’s time (1826), the idea is to gather 20 followers around the rosary: every person recites a decade and meditates a mystery (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious).
​
Thus, one Rosary is said daily with Pope’s and Diocese’s intentions. These are shown in a table received each month. Groups meet monthly around a priest to learn, pray and meditate.
​
40 groups exist today in Lyons, in which four youth groups. They are open to all. A dozen groups exist outside the diocese.
“I imagine fifteen coals, only one is fired up three or four are half fired, the others are not. Bring them together, it is a fire: it was enough to bring them together, but it was necessary, and if you separate them, what would they be? This is Living Rosary … » (Pauline JARICOT)
​
« It is urgent to find and recover the use of this beautiful prayer. Through the Rosary, believer takes abundant graces, receiving them from the very hands of Redeemer’s Mother » Saint Jean-Paul II, Le Rosaire de la Vierge Marie (2002)
​
“This prayer cheers me up” (Cardinal Barbarin)
​
Testimonies
“This prayer chain for the Pope and for diocese is a holy path to Christ.”
“With Living Rosary, we discovered and rediscovered rosary prayer.” “Reciting rosary brings a soft transformation of hearts, appeasement, and communion with others.”
