The Family Rosary
February 24th, 2009 by Fr. Pius, OP
Br. Peter Martyr Yungwirth, OP, has a new article on the Catholic Exchange website, in which he discusses the blessing of our Catholic tradition of the family rosary. Below is the introductory paragraph from Br. Peter Martyr’s article, to read the rest of it, visit The Catholic Exchange.
“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.” These words were said over and over by my cousin’s family this past Advent. She and her husband and their four sons gathered each day to pray the Rosary together as they awaited the coming of the Son of God at Christmas. As they prayed the Rosary and meditated on the mysteries, they embarked on a journey experienced by families for the past few hundreds years — a journey that ultimately led to great peace, joy, and love.
