The full title of the Korean directory
The Episcopal Conference of Korea is a patron of God’s WordThe Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary. The expression identifies a concrete advocation and not just the occasional practice of this prayer.
The same fact sheet confirms the diocese, the direction and the date of foundation. It does not attribute to Neungdong an apparition or the status of a sanctuary.
A parish founded in 2007
The community was erected 28 August 2007. Its creation belongs to the recent development of Dongtan and the need to accompany pastoral new neighborhoods and families.
The Rosary offers a prayer that can be practiced in the temple, at home or during a displacement, and that helps to unite a fragmented urban life.
Contemplating Christ with Mary
St. John Paul II explained that the Rosary, although it has a Marian form, is a prayer centered on Christ. His mysteries go through the incarnation, public life, passion and glory of the Lord.
Mary doesn't hold her eyes. As in Cana, it leads to Jesus and helps to keep his words in the heart.
Word, silence and repetition
St. Paul VI recalled that the Rosary is born of the Gospel and needs contemplation. Unattended repetition can be emptied; accompanied by the Word and silence, it creates a rhythm that sustains memory.
Before every ten you can proclaim a short passage and leave a moment to recognize how that mystery touches the present life.
A prayer for families
The domestic Rosary does not require an impossible perfection. It can start with a single ten, especially when there are young children, tiredness or short time.
The important thing is not to complete an obligation, but to learn together to present joys, concerns and decisions before God.
Memoria frente a la prisa
New cities can grow faster than the links between their inhabitants. The Rosary slows the pace and allows you to remember faces and needs that the day leaves behind.
Each avemaria can become intercession by a neighbor, a sick person, a young person under pressure or a person who has just arrived in the neighborhood.
The Rosary and Peace
The painful mysteries allow the wounds of the Korean peninsula to be brought before God; the glorious ones support the hope of reconciliation.
Prayer for peace must transform the language and relations of those who pray: less contempt, more listening and willingness to repair the damage.
A chain of communion
The accounts join sentences spoken in different languages and countries. This communion does not eliminate Korean culture or local stories; it incorporates them into a shared contemplation of Christ.
The parish can pray for the Christian communities of Asia that live in isolation, persecution or lack of priests.
