What motivated lay Catholics to begin Pro-Life Rosary Crusade for New Zealand?

In December 2017, David Seymour’s End of Life Choices Bill had its first reading. In February, the Labour government stated it wanted to update the abortion laws. These two events were the catalyst that motivated a group of lay Catholics to begin planning a Pro-Life Rosary Crusade for New Zealand.
We are very blessed to have Bishop Patrick Dunn as a Patron, and four other bishops, including Bishop Cullinane, have offered us their prayerful support as well.

Our Lord told St. Faustina the spark would start in Poland and it did. Last year, a million Poles gathered on the borders of their country to pray the Rosary. Since then, this movement of the Holy Spirit has touched Ireland, the UK and Australia.

How did this initiative of praying the Holy Rosary begin?

On 7 October 2017, the Polish people prayed all over the borders of the country of Poland knowing very well how powerful the Holy Rosary can influence the fate of Poland, Europe and even the whole world. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Queen of Poland who has been looking after Poland for well over six centuries.

Here is a snippet from the website of Rozaniec Do Granic (Rosary at the Borders).

Rosary is a powerful weapon in the fight against evil, so strong that it has been able to change the course of history many times, and thousands of testimonies and documented miracles prove its extraordinary effectiveness. Mary is the Queen of Poland, she has been looking after us for generations, she has always been with us in critical moments of history, and we have been with her. As a salvation for the world, Our Lady points to a rosary prayer.

Therefore, we believe that if the rosary is recited by about a million Poles on the borders of the country, it can not only change the course of events, but open the hearts of our countrymen to the grace of God.

A powerful prayer of the Rosary can influence the fate of Poland, Europe and even the whole world. Suffice it to say that Mary always addresses the request for frequent Rosary prayer, during almost every revelation.
