Quito, Ecuador, Aug 12, 2008 / 17:29 pm
The Christian Association of Business of Ecuador has convened a massive rosary for August 15, the feast of the Assumption of Mary, to pray to the Mother of God for the future of Ecuador as the country prepares to vote on a new Constitution.
The Association has invited the public to pray the rosary at 5 p.m. local time “for God to enlighten our spiritual leaders, governors and those who will vote in the upcoming referendum.”
In the referendum, scheduled for September, the people of Ecuador will approve or reject a Constitutional reform that, according to the Ecuadoran bishops, opens to the door to the legalization of abortion, homosexual unions, and interference by the state in the decision of parents to educate their children.
