2012: Year 3 of "a year of prayer"

Happy and Blessed New Year!

After 2 years of daily posts and prayer, I found myself in need of a short break (from the blog, not the prayer!), and have spent the last two weeks attempting to figure out how to proceed with this blog.  I have been praying for guidance as to the future of "a year in prayer: 365 Rosaries" and welcome any thoughts or comments that readers may have regarding this topic.

I feel incredibly blessed and privileged to have come this far, and met and prayed for so many people.  What an incredible joy and honor it is to lift the intentions of so many in prayer to Our Lord, through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.

Over 100,000 readers have visited this humble blog since inception, spanning the globe and including nearly 150 countries.  Never could I have anticipated such a response, and such warm greetings, prayers, and support from strangers.

As I contemplate the evolution of this endeavor, I humbly ask for your continued prayers and support.  Please know that I am continuing to receive prayer requests, and will continue to lift them in prayer during this period of discernment.

Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful 2012, filled with the grace of God and the knowledge of our salvation in Christ-
