It's a week before the much anticipated U.S. election!
Do you feel anxious about the election? What's a Catholic response to the anxiety, worry and divisiveness of politics today?
Hozana App is suggesting we turn to our Catholic faith and the Holy Rosary!
In Episode 11: The Rosary - A Catholic Response to the Paris Olympics with Veil + Armour, Cassandre Verhelst, the head of the English Division of the international app said, "An isolated Christian is a Christian in danger."
Let's hear Joseph and Sheila's conversation with Cassandre, who is in Paris, France. They dove into the transformative power of prayer and how, in times of anxiety like an election period, the collective strength of community prayer becomes a beacon of hope. Cassandre shared her unique insights into an inspiring Rosary Chalelnge that aims to unite 50,000 individuals worldwide in prayer, and how tools like the Hozana and Rosario apps are facilitating these global connections of prayer in the digital age.
Our discussion also found its way into the personal realm, as Cassandre shared about her own faith journey. After joining Catechism classes and youth group in the U.S. and in France, she drew closer to the Church, and it was a time where the nurturing community and catechism classes played a crucial role. We also explored the significance of the Rosary, likening its repetitive nature to meditative practices that ground us amidst chaos. Together, we highlighted the importance of introducing this spiritual tool to the younger generation, fostering a deeper connection to faith through innovative methods.
Lastly, we journeyed to Lourdes, a sacred site of pilgrimage that holds special meaning for many Catholics. We marveled at the modern legacy of Blessed Carlo Acutis and celebrated the enduring inspiration offered by saints, both past and present. From experiencing the healing waters of Lourdes to witnessing communal acts of faith, these stories resonate with the ongoing impact of spirituality in our lives. As we wrapped up the episode, we extended an invitation to join the Rosary Challenge and connect with our vibrant community, encouraging listeners to share the blessings of prayer and unity.
