Let There Be Peace On Earth, And Let It Begin With Me

If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace throughout the world.

Why I love the rosary
Why I love the rosary
By Amelia Monroe Carlson
I must admit, as a Protestant I strongly believed Catholics praying the Hail Mary or the rosary were placing Mary in the place of Jesus. I believed they were prayers to Mary and were treating her as a god. But, after crossing the Tiber I have grown to fall in love with the rosary – with the blessed Mother.

Getting Your Family to Mass on Time
