10 month update

It has been 304 days (ten months!) since I began my year of prayer and spiritual journey. As I have posted before, I could not have anticipated the response to my little blog, and am deeply grateful to all those who have send encouraging words and prayers over the last 10 months.



A few statistics

Since beginning on January 1st of this year:

Over 14,000 readers have visited the blog.

Over 500 prayer requests have been submitted by readers

Readers from over 100 countries on 6 continents have visited

Over 800 Rosaries have been constructed and sent to missionaries and members of the armed forces in need of prayer aids

Over 1/3 of those Rosaries have been constructed thanks to the donations of readers!


But I don’t think the statistics do this project justice, really. I have received so many wonderful and beautiful emails, updating me on the situations that prayers have been requested for, and creating a web-based Catholic community spanning across the globe. These quiet moments are the miracles of my experience, and I thank each of you who have participated in some way.

I get many emails inquiring as to the future of ‘365 Rosaries: a year of prayer,’ given that the calendar year is almost over. I have no specific plan at this point. I am hoping for clarity regarding how to continue. I ask that you pray for me, that I might discern the future of this spiritual journey.

As always, thanks for reading. Keep those requests, comments, and donations coming!

Peace-

Jacob
