“The Ministry Is
Transforming”
©2016 James Dacey, Jr. OFS
My Friends,
Today marks the END of a very long running phase of our
Worldwide Rosary Ministry. We will be transforming into a writing/praying private
personal ministry. The days and ways of what once was is no more. I am physically
and spiritually tired and, in my journey, and I seek a desperate need for
change, or maybe it’s just a break. In my prayers I feel led to a much deeper more
solitude prayerful life. The past 33 years of ministry have all been public,
now it’s time for a change, a dramatic, purposeful, insightful, delightful,
deliberate change.
This phase ending at the 33-year
mark has significant meaning. Jesus was crucified, died and was resurrected at
33 years old. That is why I believe Our Lord has led me to this point to make
these changes and bring the ministry to much deeper more significant level now
at this time.
This song was a blessing through
this transformation for me and the ministry... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLlLPZderk (Mercy Me – Flawless)
In summary as we end this phase…
this is how we ended (last week):
Live
Worldwide Rosary
(week #108) With 293 Ambassadors of The Rosary Around The World joining us each
week. This all began on Friday, February 7, 2014
Franciscan Crown Rosary (week #66) We have actually done way more than 66. I only started numbering them and sending out personal invitations several months after beginning the Live Worldwide Rosary wishing I did the same for the crown.
Rosary
For Our Priest and The Priesthood (week #88) This all began on
Sunday, June 29, 2014 on (The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles). We
were at the 400+ mark of personal invitations to Priests, Bishops, Cardinals
and even the Pope. But this ministry has been facing challenges mostly with
Twitter. I use to send out 73 tweets every Sunday. Twitter started shutting my
account down saying it was Spam. So it was taking several hours instead of 20
minutes to do. Plus, the hassle of getting back onto my account, it has been a
mess these past few Sunday’s.
JUST
A SIDE NOTE:
These ministries and others may re-evolve in time, but they will be 100% Blog
generated. I will be writing now more than ever.
THIS
BLOG
and OTHER BLOGS of MINE will be the place to see WHAT is
GOING ON. Twitter and Google (using Blogspot and YouTube) offer an enormous
viewing diversity audience. Recorded traffic is in the thousands per post per
day; very encouraging, very exciting. And through Blogspot I even get to see
what part of the world readers are from and even what devices they are using to
read the blog. The technical side is very interesting to me along with the fact
knowing that so many are verifiably opening the blog. I just love that…
And His Most Blessed Mother,

PS: This was a HARD CHOICE, the ministry is my “Baby”, when it comes to my undivided attention, I must do all I can to take care of my “Baby-cakes”. Taking care of Chrissy consumes me and I am thrilled to be chosen to be the one to take care of my adorable honey. If there is anyway for me to come back I will.
