Daily Rosary for the Family on Zoom from Saturday 2 August 2025

By Voice of the Family   |   30 July 2025

This Saturday, on the feast of Our Lady of the Angels, Voice of the Family is launching a Daily Rosary for the Family. This can be prayed independently or even added to your usual Rosary intentions, but we invite and encourage all those who can to pray it in common with other faithful — laity, priests and religious — on Zoom every or any day from next Saturday 2 August at 7:45pm BST (11:45am PDT — 2:45pm EDT — 20:45pm CET — AEST 4:45am — NZST 6:45am). 

This Daily Rosary is the continuation of the Rosary Crusade, launched last year in response to worldwide anti-life legislation facilitating the murder of the elderly, sick and disabled through euthanasia, the murder of unborn children through abortion and the spiritual murder of children through corrupting sex education.

The scandal of Catholic complicity in these and other crimes is perpetuated by the failure of bishops:

1. To promote Catholic teaching, as laid down by Pope John Paul II in Evangelium vitae (73):

“Abortion and euthanasia are thus crimes which no human law can claim to legitimize. There is no obligation in conscience to obey such laws; instead there is a grave and clear obligation to oppose them by conscientious objection.”

2. To hold Catholic legislators who vote for abortion, euthanasia and other grave evils accountable, as demanded in the 1983 code of canon law (§915): 

“The excommunicated and interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others who remain obstinately in manifestly grievous sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.” 

3. To protect children and young people from corrupting “relationships and sex education” programmes opposed by Pope Pius IX in Divini illius magistri (65):

“Far too common is the error of those who with dangerous assurance and under an ugly term propagate a so-called sex-education, falsely imagining they can forearm youths against the dangers of sensuality by means purely natural, such as a foolhardy initiation and precautionary instruction for all indiscriminately, even in public; and, worse still, by exposing them at an early age to the occasions, in order to accustom them, so it is argued, and as it were to harden them against such dangers.”

The intention of the Daily Rosary for the Family is therefore to offer reparation for sins against the Blessed Sacrament and to obtain for bishops the graces necessary to lead Catholic resistance to abortion, euthanasia, contraception, IVF, corrupting sex education, gender ideology and other sins against purity. In addition to this, there will be a specific intention for each month.

We are grateful for the kind support and spiritual guidance of faithful priests and religious, who have encouraged this initiative and agreed to lead the online Rosary. As one such member of a contemplative religious order has pointed out:

“In the last few months it seems that the situation on the life front has deteriorated considerably. The culture of death prevails inexorably … it is not a question of defending the rights of man but the rights of God, because sins against life are sins against Him Who is the way, the truth and the life. This perspective seems to me very much ignored even in the Church with disastrous consequences. Certainly increasing the Rosary Crusade would be very helpful. Only the Blessed Virgin can save us from this abyss of iniquity.”

Please share this initiative with faithful Catholics and, if you are able, join us on Zoom every or any day from next Saturday 2 August at 7:45pm BST (11:45am PDT — 2:45pm EDT — 20:45pm CET — AEST 4:45am — NZST 6:45am). If you would like to join us but are unable to attend on Zoom, pray it whenever you are able, or simply include these intentions in your daily Rosary, adding the following prayer:

O Jesus living in Mary,
Come and live in Thy servants,
In the spirit of Thy holiness,
In the fullness of Thy might,
In the truth of Thy virtues,
In the perfection of Thy ways,
In the communion of Thy mysteries,
Subdue every hostile power
In Thy spirit, for the glory of the Father, Amen
