Several years ago, I joined The Univeral Living Rosary Association and I promised to pray one decade of the rosary daily, for the rest of my life. You can learn more about them by clicking the link above. Once I became a member, I received a package in the mail that included a quarterly magazine, some prayers and also the opportunity to offer Masses for people. Each time I have Masses offered the association sends me some prayers. What I love most about that is the prayers are all new to me and really beautiful. A few years ago I received the Seven Offerings and I loved them so much I thought Lent would be a great time to share them.
