Beloved Saint Andrew
A mighty weapon lies in the hands who holds the powerful beads of the Rosary. A weapon given to us from the Queen of Heaven, our Mother Mary.
Oh! How wonderful to the eyes of Mary, when lovingly held and said by a child. We are all children of Mary! How it delights and soothes Her Sorrows. How it elates Her so, when said with tenderness and meaning to Her Joys. How gratifying it is to Her and Her Son Jesus, for the Honor of His Glory! How it illuminates "our" Souls when remembering their lives!
Say it slowly and with deep passion to our Lady. Recalling that we are participating in the memory and reason of our Salvation. With Sorrow, She recalls the Passion. With Joy, She recalls Her giving us the Sacred Birth. With Glory, we recall the meaning of the purpose. With insight we recall the importance of Her being. Lighting our ways with the Eternal lamp that burns brightly within each of our souls.
Keep a Rosary, always close by. Give them to the faithful. Give them to the children. Weapons for all times of our lives. The deep meaning of the Mysteries of our God and His Holy Mother Mary.
He has said, ""where two or more are gathered in My Name, so therefore, I shall be". Mentioning and recalling the Holy Family and the recitation of the most Holy Rosary brings Peace. In our struggles, it relieves our fears, our sufferings, and it brings consolation and direction to the Lost.
Take time out each day to pray the most Holy Rosary and stand beside the Mother, who by Her confirmation and agreement to be "our" Mother also, will lead us to Heaven, where we may stand by Her side and pray it with Her. Oh what a joy!
Queen of the most Holy Rosary, pray for us.
