MCALLEN, Texas, Aug. 15, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, Real Men Pray the Rosary and friends throughout the world launch a countdown towards the start of a "33 day Rosary Challenge." With this initiative, RMPTR encourages all Catholic faithful to pray the Rosary daily for 33 days. We all need a challenge and what better day to begin a challenge than with the help of our Blessed Mother on this important Feast Day. Please consider joining us in this worldwide prayer initiative. Today is 14 days till the start of the 33 day initiative, which will begin on August 29th. The 33 days concludes on October 1, the Month of the Rosary. David N. Calvillo, co-founder of the group said: "As Popes throughout history have told us, praying the Rosary provides 'genuine training in holiness.' Who wouldn't want Mary as their spiritual trainer? Join us in praying the Rosary daily. Will you take the challenge? Invite someone you love. Email us your experience at 33days@rmptr.org." www.33DayRosaryChallenge.com.
