Monday Musings - Rosary Reflection -The Efficacy of the Rosary

  (Photo©Michael Seagriff) “The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary.
