Our Lady’s Rosary

Dear Mother, I bring Thee roses Because they are so sweet, But lilies, my favorite flowers I am placing at Thy feet.

Accept with each Hail Mary A rose for Thy crown so bright, Please don't forget the lilies, The lilies so pure and white.

Let them be a bond of love And understanding rare, And send a blessing from above In answer to my prayer.

Loneliness would be unknown If more people came to Thee, With their trials and sorrows And said their Rosary.

With each Hail Mary, they would find Their load much lighter grow, And in humility, kiss the cross In peace, would onward go.

-Alice W. Sparks

Today’s Reflection:

Rediscover the Rosary in the light of Scripture, in harmony with the liturgy, and in the context of your daily lives. May this appeal of mine not go unheard!”

“Into [the Rosary] one may take his whole life – joys and sorrows, men and things, everything – as he would take it to someone whose presence he finds restful, not to find out how he might act with more success, but to put everything into a proper light."

Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDS

When I was in the process of reverting back to Catholicism 20 years ago and discovered that the abortion industry’s schtick about how “if abortion is illegal women will die from coat hanger abortions,” it was a moment of reckoning for me that I will never forget. It was the moment I realized that I was being manipulated by the very feminists in which I had placed all my trust.

“The family that recites the Rosary together reproduces something of the atmosphere of the household of Nazareth: its members place Jesus at the center; they share His joys and sorrows; they place their needs and their plans in His hands; they draw from Him the hope and strength to go on.”
