While I also wear a scapular, medals, and a cross at times (they've never once been commented on), it's the rosary that grabs the attention of others; it's Our Mother leading people to her Son.

Does the name of Jesus ever come up, or is your rosary leading these people to your Church???

That thought never dawned on me, Iscool. I don't know if the people picking up my rosary (and there's been about six or seven so far) are even all Catholic. I never really asked, and I don't invite these folks to church or to pray either. One woman yesterday (before she checked out my groceries) picked up the rosary and said, "so beautiful, so beautiful," and put her hands together in prayer.

And prayers, of course, to Mary go straight to her Son, with that extra little encouragement that comes from a mother. To leave Mary out of the equation of Christian Love can cause struggling and impoverished mothers on earth.
