Manila: The Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan has invited the faithful from all ages to join a global rosary for peace on Friday. Archbishop Socrates Villegas, chairperson of the Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) Philippines, said the annual church activity, 'One Million Children Praying the Rosary' will start at 9 a.m. (Manila time), where 1 million children across the globe will pray the rosary together for peace. 'The prayer of every child is a lullaby for the ears of the Lord. I am very sure a miracle will unfold, a miracle of peace will be given to the world, because of one million children praying the rosary,' the prelate said in report by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines on Thursday. Villegas urged the people to participate, noting the power of collective prayer. 'We are all God's children regardless of age. Let us join in offering a lullaby song to the ears of the Lord, the King of Peace, Jesus, who is peace himself,' he said Villegas said the faithful can also pray the rosary in h omes, schools, workplaces, and communities. On the other hand, the Diocese of Malolos will lead the prayer activity at the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Bulacan. Bishop Dennis Villarojo said the event will be held in front of the canonically crowned image of the Virgen Inmaculada Concepcion de Malolos, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the elevation of Malolos Cathedral to a minor basilica. He will be joined by children from various schools and parishes in praying the rosary and offering flowers to the Virgen Inmaculada Concepcion. The 'One Million Children Praying the Rosary' campaign is organized by ACN, an international Catholic charity, which started in 2005 when a group of children was seen praying the rosary at a local shrine in Caracas, Venezuela. The ACN has been conducting the campaign on a global scale since 2008 and took over its full management in 2018. Source: Philippines News agency
