If you wish to convert anyone to the fullness of the knowledge of Our Lord and to His Mystical Body, then teach him the Rosary. One of two things will happen. Either he will stop saying the Rosary — or he will get the gift of faith.

Bishop Sheen, a great man and a beautiful soul. I would trade almost every Bishop in the US for one Bishop Sheen.

I think that there is also the strengthening of faith that can be achieved. My faith is noticeably stronger now since I started praying a decade of the Rosary (each decade programmed into my cell phone calendar) each day on my way to work. I start off with the car quiet, radio off, and coffee in the cupholder. Normally I finish just after I cross the Mississippi and get to the first interchange in Illinois.
Of course, participating in the FR RF has also contributed towards that strengthening, thanks to folks of all flavours...

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
