The Secret of the Rosary

When you say your Rosary the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy
in it too and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.

(Blessed Alan)

Having been strongly urged to do so by Saint Dominic, all the brothers and sisters of his
order honored my Son and me unceasingly and in an indescribably beautiful way by saying the
Holy Rosary.
Every day each one of them said at least one complete Rosary. If anybody failed to say it he felt
that his day was entirely spoiled.
The Brothers of Saint Dominic had so great a love for this
holy devotion that it made them do everything better and
they used to hurry to church or to the choir to sing the office.
If one of them was seen to carry out his duties carelessly
the others would say with assurance:
"Oh, Brother! Either you are not saying Mary's Psalter any
more or else you are saying it badly.
