The Rosary Crusade was launched in January 2009, during the year of St. Paul, with a focus on the Word of God and a theme of respect for life from conception to natural death. My hope is that through the grace of this crusade countless hearts will burn with love for the sacredness of every human life and a deeper commitment to protect and provide for those who cannot protect themselves. To persevere through the challenging times ahead with peace and joyful resolve to help those around us, we need to find direction and strength through the Word of God and the Eucharist in the heart of Mary and the Church. This is what the Church has been preparing us for through the Year of the Rosary, the Year of the Eucharist, the Year of St. Paul, and now the Year of the Priest.

The Word for Life Rosary Crusade includes:

1)      Scriptural rosary CDs with music by Janis Clarke and homilies by Fr. Francis Martin that focus on how to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Word of God, in communion with Mary and the Church.

2)      “A Voice for Life” CD with songs that promote a culture of life.

3)      www.janisclarkeforlife.blogspot.com This blog will post summaries of Fr. Francis Martin’s daily homilies and reflections by Janis on the daily readings.

Janis travels across the country visiting parishes, prayer groups and different organizations encouraging people to pray the Word for Life Rosary in their cars, at home and even at work, to cultivate peace in their own hearts, in their families and in the world. She leads Word for Life Rosary Hours of Prayer and introduces children to ways they can participate in the crusade.
