Wood Bead on White Cord World Mission Rosary.
Each decade of the World Mission Rosary calls to mind an area where the Church continues her evangelizing mission:
GREEN for the forests and grasslands of AFRICA
BLUE for the ocean surrounding the ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC
WHITE symbolizing EUROPE, the seat of the Holy Father, shepherd of the world
RED calling to mind the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the AMERICAS
YELLOW, the morning light of the East, for ASIA.
In February of 1951, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith from 1950 to 1966), in a radio address (The Catholic Hour), inaugurated a World Mission Rosary. “We must pray, and not for ourselves, but for the world. To this end, I have designed the World Mission Rosary. Each of the five decades is of a different color to represent the continents.”
Praying this Rosary, Archbishop Sheen said, would “aid the Holy Father and His Society for the Propagation of the Faith by supplying Him with practical support, as well as prayers, for the poor mission territories of the world.”
