Bishop Robert Barron Launches '50,000 Rosaries Challenge' for the Conversion of the World

To celebrate the month of Mary, Bishop Robert Barron's Word On Fire launched a campaign that seeks to pray 50,000 rosaries for the conversion of the world during May.

The Catholic Church dedicates the month of May to the Virgin Mary, a time to reflect on her virtues and her love for God.

What better way to honor Our Mother during this Marian time than to pray the Rosary?

In her various apparitions, this is the prayer that she encouraged us to pray daily. She has immense power to transform the world!

Word On Fire understands this great power, so they launched a prayer campaign seeking to unite the faithful in the recitation of the Rosary.

“This May, we ask you to join us in praying 50,000 Rosaries with the intention that those who have strayed from their faith return to the Church. We can also ask for the strength and wisdom we need to be effective evangelizers in our families, workplaces and communities,” the Catholic ministry said on social media.

In a video, Bishop Robert Barron the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota and founder of Word On Fire, encouraged everyone to join this campaign and thus surpass the goal, as was achieved in the last year's challenge.

“As you know, during May, the Church focuses very much on the Blessed Virgin Mary. Last May, we had a special offer/challenge at Word on Fire for people to pray 10,000 rosaries, and we thought that was a pretty ambitious goal. In 48 hours, we reached that goal,” he said.

Bishop Barron added that the campaign reached 64,000 rosaries prayed during May, so they set a higher goal this year.

“We are starting with an initial goal of 50,000 but our hope is to reach 100,000 Rosaries. So let's do it, let's pray hard this year. The Lord asks us, invites us to pray, to ask, to search, to knock and he will open to us. So during this month of May, let's make a real effort to pray the Rosary around the world. And may God bless you,” he concluded.

How can I participate in the Rosary Campaign?

To participate in the campaign, pray the Rosary and log it on the Word On Fire website, which shows an interactive map.

"We ask Catholics to join us in praying 50,000 Rosaries for the intention that those who have fallen away from their faith may return to the Church with a renewed understanding of God’s love and mercy.

"...log your Rosary and join this international movement of prayer for the 'lost sheep' to return to the Church. Thank you for praying with us!" Word On Fire added.

The campaign achieved a little more than 15,000 rosaries within the first two days. As of May 14, 2024, the campaign generated almost 32,000 rosaries.

Be part of this project and bring more souls to Christ!

Pastors play an important part in the hierarchical chain, each step of which mirrors the relationship between God and man.

To enter the ranks of the clergy, one must receive the sacrament of Holy Orders, which has three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate. The episcopate – bishops – receive the fullness of this sacrament.
