Monsignor, Thank you for this lesson on the power and presence of the living rosary in our lives. It brought alive the presence of God living fully in my life. I never thought of this life of rosary prayer in such an active way in my life. I always reflected on the mysteries of God and Mary as I prayed through the Holy Spirit, but the living of my life and the prayer of the rosary so united as one really came alive for me today as you spoke!
Thank you
