Goats, Grief, and Glory (Family Rosary Across America)

If you missed this podcast episode of the Family Rosary Across America, you missed a heartfelt mix of heavy prayer intentions, hopeful Easter joy, and… goats?! 🐐


Still Celebrating Easter (and Still Praying Hard)

We’re in the Easter season! That means resurrection hope is in full swing, and Fr. Rocky opened with that beautiful reminder: Jesus is Risen! ✝️ That’s still the biggest miracle ever, and it’s the reason we believe in the power of every single prayer.

But alongside the joy, there’s also sorrow and supplication this week:

The Rosary this night (and every night this week) is being offered for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis, who was laid to rest on Saturday. ✝️

And we’re also praying for the upcoming conclave. 🕊️🔥

Will you join us for the 54- Day Rosary Novena to the Sacred Heart? We’ll lift up the needs of the Church and our families. It starts this Monday!


🚶Walk to Mary, Bismarck Shoutouts & Holy Fashion Tips

Maggie’s in Chicago, but she’s excited to see Fr. Rocky in person at the Walk to Mary later this week! 👟🎉Will you be there?

Fr. Rocky said he’s easy to spot… black and white clerics all the way! 🖤🤍

He also gave a warm shoutout to the good folks of Bismarck, North Dakota, especially the families and grads he visited at the University of Mary. 📿


📞 Ring Ring! The Prayer Lines Were On 🔥 💔 From South Carolina: A Heroic Father

Roger called from Sumter, SC with an absolutely heartbreaking intention:

-A father drowned trying to save his children just before Easter.

-He leaves behind a young wife and three little ones.

Then he added a gem that lightened the room:


His baby goats have been praying the Rosary with them at night while being bottle-fed.


YES. YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. 🐐🙏 Goats. Praying. The. Rosary. We’re not crying, you’re crying. 😭🤣

Fr. Rocky confirmed it: all God’s creatures are welcome. Including chickens, Chihuahuas, cats, dogs, and now the holiest herd of goats.


🙏 From Illinois: A Call for a Miracle

Gene from Lombard, IL called with a powerful plea:

-A dad named Carter has brain cancer. 😢

-Doctors want to place him on hospice.

-Gene believes in miracles and is bringing his name to the Walk to Mary.

Fr. Rocky echoed her: “Jesus, we need a miracle for Carter.”


So, grab your Rosary (and maybe your goat 🐐), and join us for continued prayer. The Holy Spirit is moving, and you’re part of it.
