Ave Maria!
Many protestant groups hold that once a person accepts Christ as Saviour, he is at that moment saved and there is nothing the person can do to lose that salvation. But the Bible is clear that like Adam and Eve we are able to fall from grace.

Ave Maria Mediations

St. Dominic: Feast Day is August 8th
Tradition associates the origin of the Rosary with St. Dominic as you can see depicted in this painting but it was not exactly the Rosary as we know it today.
Dominic Guzman (1170-1221 AD) was a Spanish priest who in southern France encountered the Albegensian heresy. He was having great difficulty and not very successful in touching hard hearts. But when he began to preach the rosary, he had great success. It was Our Lady’s special devotion and her intercession was strong with its praying.

Let us love, then, because he first loved us. (1Jn4:19)
+
In your mercy, Lord, you called me,
Taught my sinful heart and mind,
Else this world had still enthralled me,
And to glory kept me blind.
+
Lord, I did not freely chose you
Till by grace you set me free;
For my heart would still refuse you
Had your love not chosen me.
+
Now my heart sets none above you,
For your grace alone I thirst,
Knowing well, that if I love you,
You, O Lord, have loved me first.
