Catholics in Ireland are planning to hold a mass-rosary recital around the country’s coastline as next year’s abortion referendum approaches.
The ‘Rosary on the Coast for Life and Faith’ will take place on Sunday, November 26, the feast of Christ the King. Organisers have taken the inspiration from the recent Rosary at the Borders in Poland, and a similar event in Italy.
Citizens say that Ireland, North and South are in the midst of a catastrophic loss of Catholic faith especially among the young, who are facing an immediate threat to the protection of the unborn babies.”
The Republic of Ireland will hold a referendum next year on whether to repeal the Eighth Amendment to its constitution, which guarantees the rights of the unborn child.
Northern Ireland also faces having its own pro-life laws undermined by the British government, which plans to pay for Northern Irish women to have abortions in England.
Ireland is said to be the first country in the world to be consecrated to Christ the King in 1930s and according to the organizers the feast has relevance for the spiritual, social, cultural, legal and political life of Ireland.”
They hope to have prayers in at least 53 locations, the number of Hail Marys in a five-decade rosary.
