Leon (Agenzia Fides) - Led by the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of León, Guanajuato (Mexico), His Exc. Mgr. Juan Frausto Pallares, about 30 thousand faithful filled the stadium of the city to pray to the Virgin of the Rosary. Yesterday afternoon, October 26, organized groups from different parishes came in procession, many others waited inside the stadium since the very early morning hours: they had all gathered to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the "Living Rosary".
"It is a beautiful tradition, where you feel the presence of the Virgin and God, and we can ask for help for someone else, not just for ourselves", says one of the participants, according to the note sent to Fides from a local source. There was emotion and a deep silence when Mgr. Frausto Pallares announced that this occasion is a moment to pray for drug traffickers, for killers and organized crime, because "we want peace", said the Bishop. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 27/10/2014)
