“What a wonderful prayer the rosary is! For eight hundred years it has carried the sorrows and troubles, the joys and happiness through the hands of the Heavenly Mother to the Throne of God. When we repeat over and over: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us…” it is like the begging of little children who want something with all their heart: “Please, Mother, please! Oh, Mother, please, please!”
–Maria Augusta Trapp
