The 10 pm Rosary: faith, tradition and a rebuke to the bishops
The daily Gospel and readings for Thursday 26 March – under the theme 'The Lord remembers his covenant forever' – are the focus of a daily prayer initiative that brings together dozens of faithful every night at 10 pm. But beyond devotion, the community has also become a space for some to voice their disappointment with Spain's Bishops' Conference (the Spanish bishops' assembly), which they accuse of staying silent on key issues such as the defence of life.
The prayer step by step: Lourdes, litanies and promises
The structure of the Rosary includes videos from the Sanctuary of Lourdes in Spanish, litanies, the Salve Regina and a sung Hail Mary. A visual guide is offered through Catholic Link, and the promises attributed to the Virgin Mary are recalled: protection, special graces and a weapon against hell for those who pray with faith. The prayer lasts between 25 and 30 minutes, according to the organisers. Prayer intentions are updated daily, ranging from reparation for offences against God to petitions for the defence of life, Pope Francis and priests.
The bishops' silence that has not gone unnoticed
Amid the prayers, some participants have pointed to the Bishops' Conference's silence on the pro-life agenda. A viral comment read: "The Bishops' Conference, presumed defender of life, remains silent". Other faithful responded by accusing the bishops of "being asleep at the wheel" and saying that "they are a bigger embarrassment every day". The criticism is not unanimous, but it reveals a current of discontent that coexists with traditional piety.
The initiative shows that Marian devotion is still alive in the digital age, but also that the faithful do not hesitate to raise their voices when they believe their shepherds are silent. The question that remains: is the Rosary a spiritual refuge or also a loudspeaker for internal criticism?
