The Rosary Really is a Place :)

I first started saying the Rosary with a CD, lol.  But it was a really good CD, and I recommend it to everyone.  It was by Fr Benedict J Goeschel and the Sorrowful Mysteries are above.  And then I stopped for a while, until a friend reminded me of it once again ?. It is also available on Spotify and Amazon (the CD version)

Non-Catholics sometimes wonder why anyone would say the Rosary. In fact, some non-Catholics even condemn it, because they do not understand it.

Mary, and the Rosary, simply help us to grow closer to God our Father, and to Jesus.  That is truly what Mary does, she points us to our Savior Jesus Christ and she Helps us.  She loves us with a Mother’s Love and is always there for us.  She does not seek to replace her Son Jesus, but rather to help us reach Him.

Why is the Rosary referred to often as a Place?  Just like Focusing on Jesus’ Face, if we are truly Focusing on Mary, we can not focus on our worries here.  We can’t do both, at least not well ?

Mary suffered greatly as she followed God’s Will for her life, but her faith in God never wavered.  Her love never lessoned.  And even after Jesus had left for Heaven, she helped so many, especially the Apostles!

Our faith is under attack; we can use and need all the help we can to keep our Faith and Love for God and others strong.  I am so grateful to Mary both for her Help and her Example. May I love God like Mary. Amen.
