Beyond Description

gracelinesheader

“The Rosary is the book of the blind,Bishop Fulton-SheenRosary 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. The power of the Rosary is beyond description. ”
                                   

                                    -Fulton J. Sheen

For Reflection:

Given the categories of individuals Archbishop Sheen describes in this quote, what attributes or virtues describe them as they pray the Rosary. Into which category do I fit most readily? To what extent have I emulated all of them?

                           True Devotion to Mary Preliminary Remarks   Page 11

A close ally of Mary is the archangel St Michael.  He is associated with honoring her, causing her to be honored and tending to her devotees on earth.  St Michael is the ally of all those who make the true devotion and should be called upon to promote true devotion and to acquire the grace to live it.  We grow in our love for Mary and in our fidelity to the practice of true devotion by earnestly seeking St. Michael’s intercession and protection.
