I remember Archbishop Fulton Sheen once saying to a woman, who complained that the Rosary is a redundant prayer, in one of his speeches, "How often do you say I love you to your husband?" "Is that redundant?"
I keep that in mind always.
Blessings to you on this month of Marian devotion.
Amen!!
Amen!!
Last night the kids of our church said a living rosary.
Afterwards we gathered for cookies and punch.
What a marvelous uplifting of hearts and minds in prayer.
I think the story you relate with Archbishop Sheen occurred on a plane ride. The woman was in the seat next to him and commented because he was praying the rosary.
Chesterton would have been an admirer Sheen.
