  3. Strong and beautiful messages today.

    • What Joy. The memories of family Rosary over 60 years ago. The children in the background, chatting put a smile on my face as my mother would look sternly at one of us 7 children if one should dear to speak.
      This is a beautiful way to celebrate the Rosary. Thank you.

The question surprised me and the look in the young boy’s eyes let me know that he wanted more than a religious-cliche-response. I took a moment to think, pray, and think again and was surprised at the answer that came to me.

Such wise people have reflected on their life experience enough to know that while a peaceful and perfect day is welcome, we are most connected with others and therefore with God (we could also say most connected with God and therefore with others), when we live a struggle together.
