Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Mother Angelica, founder of the international broadcast cable television network Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) is quoted as saying this about saying the rosary:
“You know what Our Lady said about the Rosary? That the whole world would change if everybody said it…. If my Mother says, ‘Say it,’ I’m gonna say it.”
Even our youngest SMS students learn to say the rosary in their Religion classes, and are encouraged to say it at home with their families.
