On October 8, heavy rain did not stop hundreds of men from gathering at the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Colombian capital to pray the Rosary for abortion victims.
The Rosary for Men is celebrated on October 8 in dozens of countries. This is an initiative that originated in Poland and Ireland in 2018. After a few years, the initiative has spread to other countries. The aim of this initiative is to spend 24 hours reciting the Rosary in various cities.
A video showed that a few minutes after the prayer service in Colombia began, rain began to pour down where the men were gathered. But the rain could not stop them from continuing to pray, and some even knelt to pray.
The faithful participating in this special event directed their prayers to the unborn babies, their families and the government. The website of the founders of the Rosary for Men states that the goal of this meaningful act is to fulfill the will of Our Lady, which is also the will of her Son Jesus Christ. They note that man's role in God's plan is to preserve eternal life for those God gives us.
