"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (Cf Luke 1: 28, 42 RM)
Today is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary, a feast instituted in 1571.
At the beginning of my conversion in 1994, I read the anointed classic St Louis Marie de Monfort, THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY. I remember clearly his claim that saying the Rosary every day will result in either you stop sinning or you stop saying the Rosary. Both cannot coexist. I found it incredulous and decided to try it. I have said the Rosary every day since 1994. It is a prayer of incalculable power.
The devil succeeded in luring me into sin a number of times. But he was unable to hold the ground because his victory lasted less than 24 hours. A force greater than he would counter attack and led me home through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Thank you Jesus for the gift of the Holy Rosary.
