Rosary Coast to Coast aims to unite Catholics across the USA and the world in prayer this October 13th.
Depicting a world in turmoil, the stirring video announcing the now-annual event states that “There is no stronger weapon in this spiritual battle than the Rosary.”
The National Coordinator for the Rosary Coast to Coast, Bree A. Dail, told LifeSiteNews that the object of the mass prayer gathering is “simple.”
“[It’s] to do Our Lady’s bidding! Yes, it’s as simple as that,” she said.
That bidding is to be obedient to Christ and to pray the Rosary.
“Our Lady has said, time and again, Do whatever He tells you,” Dail explained.
“She has warned us—at Quito, La Salette, Fatima, Akita—to do penance, amend our lives, pray the Rosary for conversions. She is warning us, but also promising her Triumph.”
Dail credits the Polish “Rosary to the Borders” of 2017 with inspiring the international but American-led Rosary Coast to Coast, and said her group has been in contact with the Polish organizers from the beginning.
“How beautiful, really, to think that these Rosary initiatives started as a spark from Poland,” she said, and invited readers to see the diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska for context.
Saint Faustina, often called the apostle of the Divine Mercy, recorded in her diary that Christ had said: “I bear a special love for Poland, and if you will be obedient to My will, I will exalt you in might and holiness. From you will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming” (Diary, 1732).
The first Rosary Coast to Coast, held in 2018, united people from 1,100 sites registered in the USA and from over 50 countries. Dail estimates that “millions” participated in last year’s event.
“The photos from India alone make us believe we were in the millions,” she said. “We were even contacted by Catholics in Iran.”
