The Apostolate of The Rosary
What do we mean by the apostolate? The apostolate is the work of an apostle, not only of the first followers of Christ but of all the faithful who carry on the original mission entrusted by the Savior to make disciples of all nations. A good description of the apostolate is to be a channel of grace to others. So we ask, How is the Rosary a channel of grace? By now we have the testimony of at least forty Popes who over the centuries have recommended, even urged, the people to propagate the recitation of the Rosary as a powerful channel of grace to the world. Our Baptism and Confirmation give us both the right and the duty to engage in what we are calling the apostolate of the Rosary. --Father John A. Hardon
