Among the participating dioceses is a Catholic community in Myanmar, also known as Burma. A Catholic leader from the southeast Asian country wrote a letter to ACN saying that the rosary has been a source of strength amid the difficult times the country is facing after experiencing a coup.
“The situation has been bad for months now. The pandemic is rather severe in our area. All the villages are in lockdown. Praying the Rosary daily is the only source of strength physically and psychologically in the villages,” said the Burmese cleric, who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons.
“Our diocese will join you and pray for you and for your intentions. I am ever grateful to you for all concerns, love, kindness and generous support,” he said.
Aid to the Church in Need is a pontifical foundation, established in 1947, dedicated to helping persecuted Christians around the world.
Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, the president of ACN, said that the 2021 rosary campaign seeks to encourage children to pray “hand in hand with Our Lady and under the protection of Saint Joseph.”
