October 7th: Our Lady of the Rosary


The Rosary is such an incredible gift! How sad it is when people completely ignore it or minimize it's power.  It is not something that can be fully understood on the outside but rather you must pray it and experience the power that it has to interiorly change us.  Ever since my Uncle said so simple, "If you want to go to Heaven, pray the Rosary!!" I experienced how the beautiful "Our Father" and the glorious "Hail Mary" have resonated in my soul and heart and cleared & cleaned away all sin and filth.  Whereas so many people I know still struggle with many sins, the Rosary has given me such freedom to say YES to God in this vocation in a way that is fuller than other people.  Why is that?  Am I better than others? No, but the Blessed Virgin Mary IS!! And when you pray the Rosary, you get caught up into her virtues and her freedom and ability to say YES to God.  She is not merely a Model, just as Jesus is not merely a Prophet:: No, she is the Theotokos, the God-bearer and the Mediatrix of all graces.  She is our Yes to God and God's Yes to us.  Brothers & Sisters, I invite you to experience in your own bodies her intercessory and healing power.  Don't listen to the cynics or the lukwarm who care not for the Blessed Virgin, rather listen to a converted sinner who has been deeply touched by her powerful & motherly love.

De Maria Numquam Satis!!
