How to Pray the Rosary

The Rosary is the book of the blind, Where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whoes eyes close upon the shadow of the world, and open on the substance of the next. The power of the rosary is beyond description.

-Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Tthe Third day he roseagain from the dead. He ascended iinto Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Fatherr almighty. He shall come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
