Rorate Caeli

Hail Mary, Queen of May


The Rosary is undergoing, as it were, a new springtime. This is certainly one of the most eloquent signs of the love which the young generations foster for Jesus and for His Mother, Mary. ... The Rosary, when it is prayed in an authentic way, not mechanical or superficial, but profound, truly brings forth peace and reconciliation. It contains in itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, called upon with faith and love in the middle of every Hail Mary.
