Poignant story and Rosary Ping!
Met a big, impressive, tatooed brute the other day on the Walmart parking lot with an expensive Rosary draped around his neck.
Asked him if he knew what it was and explained to him that it was a Catholic “prayer aide”. Told him also that if he wanted the “full powers” of it, he should become a Catholic and learn to pray the Rosary.
By now I lost him, but we parted without him pulling a knife and me having to pull a Kimber. (Nothing wrong with any law-abiding citizen having a CHL and carrying a rosary.)
Someday I would like to meet him again hoping that I would have the great privilege of explaining the intrinsicasies of the Rosary.
