LET US PRAY 5 DECADES OF HOLY ROSARY DEDICATED TO THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES:
DAY 5 – October 14, 2011
BURUNDI
Burundi has a density of 300 persons per sq km, most of whom live on subsistence farms. Since gaining independence in 1961, it has been plagued by tensions between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority who are politically and economically dominant. The bloody civil war ended in 2006.
Sorrowful Mysteries: Intentions for Burundi
1. That all people may grow in harmony through mutual respect
2. That children be respected and preserved from violence
3. For enduring reconciliation among the Hutu and Tutsi
4. That health services and medicines may be made available to those who need it most.
5. That Burundi succeed in generating more electricity

DAY 6 – October 15, 2011
CAMEROON
The Europeans arrived in Cameroon in the 1500s, for the acquisition of slaves. Christian missions were established in the 19th century and are still present today. Cameroon is endowed with an abundance of natural resources, a population that has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa, though pervasive corruption impedes development.
Joyful Mysteries: Intentions for Cameroon
1. That the Church in Africa may be an instrument of reconciliation
2. That democratic reforms come at a faster pace
3. That the nation will control and make progress against HIV/AIDS
4. That economic development may lift families out of poverty.
5. That authorities may be diligent in fighting human trafficking.
