Paducah Faith Formation students pray for peace during annual Living Rosary
BY GING SMITH, SPECIAL TO THE WESTERN KENTUCKY CATHOLIC
Paducah Faith Formation held their annual Living Rosary during the month of October. Selected students, catechists and board members helped lead in the prayers and reflections. Students from second grade through high school each represented a bead by holding an illuminated candle. The Apostles’ Creed as well as the Our Father beads were represented by colored lights while the Hail Mary beads were white. As the Mysteries of the Rosary and each prayer were recited, participants were encouraged to pray for peace as well as to reflect on how to faithfully live out their Catholic faith in emulation of Mary through love of God, prayer and humility, obedience to the Father’s will, and service to others.
