MCALLEN, Texas, Aug. 27, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Real Men Pray the Rosary, Inc. and friends throughout the world launch a prayer challenge on August 29th called the RMPTR "33 day Rosary Challenge." With this initiative, RMPTR encourages all Catholic faithful to pray the Rosary daily for 33 days. The rationale for the movement is that sometimes we could use a challenge to nudge us in the right direction. Please consider joining the RMPTR global community in this worldwide prayer initiative. The first day of the 33 day initiative is August 29th. The 33 days concludes on October 1, the first day of the Month of the Rosary. David N. Calvillo, co-founder of the group said: "As Popes throughout history have told us, praying the Rosary provides 'genuine training in holiness.' Who wouldn't want Mary as their spiritual trainer? Solidify your own prayer life. Join us in praying the Rosary daily- for at least these 33 days. Join Catholics from throughout the world build this amazing momentum of prayer for Pope Francis I to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on October 13." Will you take the challenge? Invite someone you love. Email us your experience at 33days@rmptr.org." www.33DayRosaryChallenge.com.
