— Father Peyton
I
n 1938, Father Peyton contracted a severe case
of tuberculosis while studying as a seminarian
at Holy Cross College in Washington D.C. After
the doctors had failed to find a cure for him, he
turned to the Blessed Mother and promised to
spend his life promoting devotion to her if he were
healed. Miraculously, he was cured and began to
lead large Rosary Crusades for tens of thousands
of people in various cities including New York,
San Francisco and New Orleans. In 1985, Father
Peyton’s Rosary Rally in the Philippines drew
more than two million people.

Diocesan Pilgrimage Prayer
o r U n i t y & Pe a c e W i t h i n
Our Families, Our Communities, Our World
Our Legacy
The late Pope John Paul II declared 2004 as the
“Year of the Rosary.” The Holy Father continued
this challenge and, in 2005, urged Catholics to dedicate
themselves to a “Year of the Eucharist.” Our Diocesan
Pilgrimage includes Eucharistic Adoration, a Global
Living Rosary and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
honoring the legacy of Pope John Paul II in the bold
vision of Pope Benedict XVI.
Our Intention
On May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared
to three children in Fatima, Portugal. She told the
children to pray the rosary daily for world peace.
If we follow Our Lady’s advice, peace will indeed
come to our families, our communities and
our world.
Our Hope
Recent history is marked by milestones
of conflict, terrorism, natural disasters
and cultural upheaval. So that peace
will come, we must seek a remedy. The
solution is prayer and adoration of our
Lord and honoring Our Lady.
Your Challenge
You are encouraged to prepare for this
dynamic spiritual event by praying
the daily family rosary and attending one of three
regional events. Then, join us for the Diocesan
Pilgrimage on Saturday, October 8, 2011, when
thousands of prayers will be lifted as one!
Come. Receive abundant blessings!
Nuestro Legado
El difunto Papa Juan Pablo II declaró el año 2004 como el
“Año del Rosario”. El Santo Padre continuó este reto en el
2005 urgiendo a los católicos que se dedicaran al “Año de
la Eucaristía”. Nuestro Dia de Adoración Eucarística, Misa
y de Rosario Global, le hará honor al legado del Papa Juan
Pablo II y a la visión audaz del Papa Benedicto XVI.
Nuestra Intención
El 13 de Mayo del 1917, la Virgen María se le apareció a
tres niños en Fátima, Portugal. Ella les dijo a los niños
que rezaran el rosario diariamente para la paz del mundo.
Si seguimos el consejo de la Virgen Santísima, la paz
verdaderamente vendrá a nuestras familias, nuestras
comunidades y nuestro mundo.
Nuestra Esperanza
Nuestra historia está marcada por tiempos
de conflicto, terrorismo, desastres naturales
y agitaciones culturales. Para que la paz
venga, necesitamos buscar un remedio.
La solución es rezar, y adorar a Nuestro
Señor honrando a la Virgen María.
Su Reto
Le animamos que se prepare para este evento
espiritual y dinámico rezando el rosario diariamente
en familia y que se congreguen con nosotros el
sábado 8 de octubre de 2011 cuando decenas de
miles de oraciones serán ofrecidas como una.
Heavenly Father, You have made us in Your
own image and likeness, and have sent Your
Son to be Our Savior by dying for us on the
Cross.
As we journey on our Diocesan Pilgrimage, increase our
spiritual hunger for the Real Presence of Jesus in the
Most Holy Eucharist. Prepare our hearts to receive Him
more worthily and with a greater love.
Strengthen our desire and commitment to adore Him
through weekly Eucharistic Holy Hours with our
families. Make us instruments of peace, reconciliation
and forgiveness in our families, cities and nation.
Send your Holy Spirit upon us to renew all the members
of our Diocese of Arlington with a great fervor for the
New Evangelization and the salvation of souls.
Thank you for the gift of the Blessed Virgin Mary who
leads us ever closer to Your Son. May our families
receive graces of wisdom and understanding as we pray
the daily Rosary.
We make this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Your
Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
One God forever and ever. Amen.
