"The Rosary, recited slowly and meditated upon in the family, in community, personally, will gradually let you enter the sentiments of Christ and his Mother, recalling all the events which are the key to our salvation.  As you recite one Hail Mary after another, you will contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation and Redemption of Christ...in the light and the tranquillity of God.  With Mary, you will open your soul to the Holy Spirit, so that he may inspire all the great tasks that await you"
