The Rosary is a school of Prayer. The Rosary is a school of Faith.
Pope Francis

Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is the one who brings God to us and us to God.
Pope Francis
