Thank you for such kind words. Yes indeed, the family rosary is part and parcel of the air we breathe. I'm also handing out to friends, family and strangers a little pamphlete on praying the Angelus. I am encouraging people to stop and say the Angelus aloud wherever they may be, on the train, in a restaurant, in the subway, in a store, driving down the road, at the dinner table....
There is a freeper who freepmails me from time to time putting down these things that I find so important. Too bad for him. These devotions were the heart and soul of Catholic life when the Church was strong and there were vocations everywhere.
If we want to see the Church strengthened, cleansed, renewed, back on track, my maternal advice is that we need to pray, pray, and pray again. And the Rosary, the Angelus, the Litanies -- these are the gifts given to us by our sacred tradition. When we pray them we are united with all of our mothers and fathers in the faith who have gone before us, whose prayers paved the way for the steps we take drawing nearer and nearer to our Eucharistic Lord..
How true. Between the morning offering, the angelus and the rosary, Catholics can pray throughout the day without making any extraordinary efforts.
