Are You a Member of the Rosary Confraternity?
I am just wondering . . . . here is the information I know (from their website):
Pope Leo XIII said in his encyclical on the Confraternity, "whenever a person fulfills his obligation of reciting the Rosary according to the rule of the Confraternity, he includes in his intentions all its members, and they in turn render him the same service many times over." Each member includes deceased fellow members as well; and thus he knows that in turn he will be included in the prayers of hundreds of thousands both now and hereafter. This led the Cure of Ars to say: "If anyone has the happiness of being in the Confraternity of the Rosary, he has in all corners of the world brothers and sisters who pray for him."
Each member strives to pray the complete Rosary each week (this does not bind under sin), and must have his/her name inscribed in the register of the Confraternity. There are no meetings, no dues.To enroll, please fill out your information at the Rosary Confraternity Enrollment Site. They will mail your certificate of membership and Light & Life newsletter, so they ask that you please be certain the address is correct.
I would appreciate any comments anyone in the Catholic Blogshere has to offer.
