VATICAN CITY (CNS) — It may seem insignificant to some, but praying the Rosary every day is huge in the eyes of God, Pope Francis told an association of laywomen dedicated to the Holy Family and prayer.
“God loves what is small and makes it bear fruit,” he told members of the Sentinelles de la Sainte Famille(Sentinels of the Holy Family) during an audience at the Vatican Jan. 11.
Founded in Brussels in 2013, the group coordinates an international prayer network of women, known as “sentinels,” to pray the Rosary every day for the pope, priests, consecrated women, vocations, families and evangelization.
“The commitment required of someone who wants to become a ‘sentinel’ is simple, it might even seem laughable: recite a decade of the rosary every day,” the pope said.
The “very simple” requirement, he said, and may seem “small in the eyes of mankind, but it is much in the eyes of God if it is done faithfully over time, with faith and fervor and in a spirit of communion among you.”
