Grace Abounding
This month is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. A poignant title of Our Lady replete with meaning. As you will discover on our home page (click this title of Our Lady on our slideshow), it is rooted in another title of the Blessed Mother -- Our Lady of Victory. This is a deeply inspiring title and reminds me of yet another title of Mary -- Our Lady of Grace (Feast Day, May 31). Her words to Saint Catherine Laboure, full of promise, echo in my heart.

The Rosary
"The reason why we get tired of saying the Rosary so much, is because we think about it so little."
Father Ronald Knox
For Reflection:
To what extent do I think about the prayer of the Rosary throughout the day? How does this help me enter into it more deeply?
The Rosary
"The Rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of this world, and open on the substance of the next.
