Monsignor Pope Ping!
In 2006 I was just climbing out of the worst few years of my life. Mr. Mercat and I traveled to Ireland to see our son perform in a banjo festival. While there I found a wonderful cannamara marble rosary, bought it, and began praying it daily. I didn’t even know why and didn’t feel any devotion to Mary. It just seemed the right thing to do to help my other two children in their needs. It got to be a habit and although I gave that rosary away I found another and another and gradually found ways to make it part of my daily routine. Three years ago, still not feeling a devotion to Mary, I became a team member at RCIA at my parish. I kept learning more and finally did the 33 Days to Morning Glory. (look it up). I also read Scott Hahn’s Hail Holy Queen. I’m still not 100% there but getting close to full devotion to Jesus through Mary. My life has improved amazingly. So this is my witness.
