Interesting. Did that person ever tell you how he/she learned the rosary and became compelled to pray it?
But do they get 'em "on the last day" or before?
1 Thess 4:16-17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
Now here's a question: I noticed that you described her as "compelled" and me as driven ("... what drove you to say it ...). So, uh, what, uh, compels and drives you to think of those who take up Marian devotion as under some kind of compulsion? For me it's a great way to give some time to God, to think about the story of the Incarnation and its outcome. It's almost a luxury, I might say. It's really not the experience that those who oppose it seem to think it is.
Padre Pio referred to the Rosary as "that weapon", I am told. And Dominic wanted the friars to wear it at their side the way one might wear a sword. And I guess along with formal church worship, the "Divine Office", personal prayer, Scripture, and other study, I think of it as part of my armamentarium as I, well, walk this walk and "fight the good fight".
I have to go display some responsibility. backatcha later.
