# Desafío del Rosario de Entrenamiento – 13 de julio de 2017
*2017-08-13*

> Bill Young leads a heartfelt prayer for Venezuela, the persecuted, and all souls, while inviting listeners to join a Rosary training challenge.

## Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
We pray for the peace of the world, for those suffering persecution for their faith, especially innocent children who are abused. May the Virgin Mary, our most holy Mother, cover them with her mantle of protection.

## The Rosary Challenge

We invite everyone to take up the Rosary training challenge. Let us contemplate the mysteries together, allowing the Holy Spirit to deepen our love for Christ and for Mary, Mother of God. As we pray each decade, we ask the Lord to increase our faith, hope, and charity.

## Our Intentions

Lord, forgive our sins and deliver us from temptation. Protect the people of Venezuela and all who are suffering. May the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary bring consolation to the persecuted, especially children. Grant us the grace to live as true disciples, bearing fruit for your Kingdom.

## Closing Prayer

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. May we be united with Christ, our Lord, and may the fire of the Holy Spirit purify our hearts. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

*Joining the Rosary challenge strengthens our communion with Mary and deepens our prayer for a world in need.*
