 The Secret of the Rosary

no one can give what he does not have: "Jesus began to do and to teach."1We ought to pattern
ourselves on Our Blessed Lord, Who began by practicing what He preached. We ought to emulate Saint
Paul who knew and preached nothing but Jesus Crucified. This is really and truly ·what you will be
doing if you preach the Holy Rosary. It is not just a conglomeration of Our Fathers and Hail
Marys, but on the contrary it is a divine summary of the mysteries of the life, passion, death
and glory of Jesus and Mary.
I could tell you at great length of the grace God gave me to know by experience the effectiveness
of the preaching of the Holy Rosary and of how have seen, with my own eyes, the most wonderful
conversions it has brought about I would gladly tell you all these things if I thought that it
would move you to preach this beautiful devotion, in spite of the fact that priests are not in the
habit of doing so these days. But instead of all this I think it will be quite enough for this
little summary that I am writing .if I tell you a few ancient but authentic stories about the Holy
Rosary. These excerpts really go to prove what I have outlined for the faithful in French.
