Archdioceses of Cochabamba
May our Lord allow, in His infinite Mercy, that each prayer be pronounced from the heart, as our Blessed Virgin Mary has requested. That today’s man, from whatever place our Lord has put him, may understand that Jesus must be the center of his life. That humanity rediscovers the value of the Holy Eucharist, bread of life, to which Mary takes us.
We are certain that the Most Blessed Virgin Mary will protect all the faithful, who unite themselves to her in this Holy Hour in petitioning the conversion of the world and in asking particularly for the longed, Ecclesiastical Renewal in order that our Church may truly be a communion of faith and fraternity.
It is with pleasure that we authorize this publication, which was the initiative of the Apostolate of the New Evangelization, with the desire that it be put to practice with fervor, in order to attract Our Lord’s blessings to His people on the vigil of the third Christian millennium.
