The rosary is III most popular
private PRAYER because it uses those
prayers we love so well. 1t is so popular
because it has stopped wars and kept
the peace; fought heresy and promoted
religion; saved nations from defeat and
individuals from disaster. Devoutly re,
cited, as Bishop lsSenmann reminded lis
in his October letter, it gives us the OPP
p~ortunity to bring ourselves to Jesus
through His Mother.
The five decades of the rosary are
shaped like a hoop and link lis with
Mary. During the month of October
when we honor her in so many differ

daily. And we should always be mind
full that whether u rosaries are wood
or crystal, cocoa beads or plastic, silver
or pearl, they bind us to Mary like

Tell him what is wrong with
stealing and how TO act in the

evident in the lack Of mail to
