St. Gertrude the Great, Pray for Us
Dear Readers of the RHP Newsletter:
This is a message from Amelia, Junior Content Creator for The Rosary Hour Podcast and member of Children’s Rosary ®.
I want to thank you all — everyone of our you — for your prayers and your amazing support of the Rosary since we began this Rosary journey together.
I am so excited to report that for the first time ever, over 1 million children prayed the Rosary together on Oct. 18! YAY! 🥳🤩
Listen to Tammy Peterson’s Rosary Story & testimony here:
Also, the Rosary Hour Podcast team invites you to pray the prayer that St. Gertrude wrote and which would release 1,000 souls from purgatory every time you pray these words.
Here is the prayer:
“Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory*, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.”
If time, I invite you also to pray one decade of the Rosary, The First Joyful Mystery for Thursday, led by Fr. Peter here; consider Tammy Peterson’s challenge from her Rosary Story.
xoxo 🥰
Love Amelia

p.s. Below are some annotated headlines from Aleteia which reported at two different times about the 1 million Rosaries for Peace project which for the first time had over a million children enrolled.

IN THE CATHOLIC PRESS: BY THE RHP
The Portuguese headline for Aleteia Portugal was a bit different than the English, so we are starting with “John Burger - publicado em 20/10/23”, piece #1 and “One million children from all over the world prayed the rosary for peace”.
“Um milhão de crianças de todo o mundo rezaram o terço pela paz”
São Pio de Pietrelcina havia declarado: “Quando um milhão de crianças rezarem o rosário, o mundo mudará” | St. Pio of Pietrelcina had declared: "When a million children pray the rosary, the world will change."
Padre Pio deve ter ficado satisfeito. Afinal, ele havia dito há muitos anos: “Quando um milhão de crianças rezarem o rosário, o mundo mudará”. E, muito mais, quem deve estar sorrindo é Nossa Senhora, ao ver que, neste dia 18 de outubro, de fato, mais de um milhão de crianças em todo o mundo participaram da oração do santo terço. A contagem oficial até esta publicação chegou a 1.009.910. | Padre Pio must have been pleased. After all, he had said many years ago, "When a million children pray the rosary, the world will change." And much more, it is Our Lady who must be smiling when she sees that on this October 18, in fact, more than a million children around the world participated in the prayer of the Holy Rosary. The official count as of this publication has reached 1,009,910. |
É que a fundação pontifícia Ajuda à Igreja que Sofre (AIS) realizou mais uma vez o seu convite anual a paróquias, escolas e famílias para participarem da iniciativa “Um Milhão de Crianças Rezando o Rosário”. | The pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) has once again extended its annual invitation to parishes, schools and families to participate in the "One Million Children Praying the Rosary" initiative.

ARTICLE IN ENGLISH | VERSION 2
In the following article excerpt from “International children’s Rosary campaign exceeds 1 million prayers”, cited for “Educational Use Purposes”, Mr. John Burger reports the following news via Aleteia:
In a time of increasing war, prayer too has increased, and some of the most powerful people engaged in prayer are the children of the world.
This year, for the first time since the Catholic organization Aid to the Church in Need began an annual children’s Rosary campaign, more than 1 million children committed to offer the Marian prayer in October.
The final tally of children and others who registered online in ACN’s One Million Children Praying the Rosary Campaign was 1,039,628 – significantly higher than last year’s 871,523. The idea was for young people to be praying simultaneously on October 18.
“For us the most touching part was to see people in the Middle East praying, especially the children praying together,” said Ed Clancy, Director of Evangelization and Outreach at Aid to the Church in Need USA. “That was really wonderful. It’s always great to see children with a sense of hope in their voices, united together in prayer, wearing their Sunday best.
EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE BY: John Burger - published on 11/05/23 Aleteia2
The end of the article notes the segment on Padre Pio: “The foundation says the campaign is inspired by St. Pio of Pietrelcina, who said, “If a million children prayed the Rosary, the world would change.”
“Many are praying that that will be the case.”
