Thank you for adding that beautiful story.
I love praying the Rosary, it just takes my mind to another kingdom. No matter what situation I am in, a well prayed Hail Mary is just like holding mother’s hand. I am calm and unafraid.

What is the Rosary?
The Rosary is the Prayer of the Gospels, a meditation on 20 primary events in the Life of Our Blessed Lord Jesus and His Blessed Mother Mary.
If you have something against the Rosary, you have something against the Holy Bible! Like the Holy Scriptures, it is the Good News of Jesus! It’s a Scriptural prayer.
We
* pray as Our Lord Jesus tells us to in Matthew 6:9-13 and
* meditate on God becoming truly man like us in all things except sin for our salvation in Luke 1:28, Luke 1:42! The Church formalizes this in the Hail Mary:
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with you. [Luke 1:28]
Blessed are you among woman and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. [Luke 1:42]
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. [The Church]
