It shows  where the rosary is being prayed and even allows intentions to be posted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MIKE DEL PONTE<\/strong><br \/>\n Co-founder, Map of Hope<br \/>\n <em> \u201cWe created The Map of Hope so people could come to the website, get a sense of hope and a sense that other people are praying for them, a sense of community around the world, a deeper devotion to the rosary and ultimately, use prayer to end the pandemic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The site has formed its own prayer network as a result. In a matter of weeks, there are 9,000 prayer requests posted from 130 countries. Examples of miracles from the rosary are also shown, like the end of a plague in Italy in the 15th century.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MIKE DEL PONTE<\/strong><br \/>\n Co-founder, Map of Hope<br \/>\n <em> \u201cThe rosary is necessary at this time because it's a powerful prayer we all can do anywhere. You can do it alone, you can do it in community, all you need are your rosary beads. Even if you don't have a rosary, you can use your fingers to count. At this time when a lot of people can't go to Mass, there's still a way to do something that is ancient and significant and carries many miracles attributed to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mike insists the Map of Hope also answers Pope Francis' call to pray the rosary, especially in the month of May.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS <\/strong><br \/>\n Regina Coeli - April 26, 2020<br \/>\n <em>I asked all the faithful to pray a Rosary this month. Together, with the family, or alone. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>While right now, the map on their website only shows the United States, in a couple weeks, they are expanding to a global map. They look forward to receiving intentions in various languages and seeing the rosary being prayed around the world, all for the end of the coronavirus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Melissa Butz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 25, 2020.
