Lord, teach us how to pray.

Our Lady of the Rosary 

Sister Margaret was explaining the rosary to a Protestant girl.

   Isabel asks, “How can prayers said over and over again like that be of any good?”

   Sister Margaret answered.

“I saw young Mrs Martin last week with her little girl in her lap. She had her arms around her mother’s neck, and was being rocked to and fro. Every time she rocked she said, ‘Oh, me mum’ ”.

   To say, Hail Mary, Hail Mary,’ is the best way of telling her how much we love her. And, then this string of beads is like our Lady’s girdle, and then we say our ‘Our Fathers’ too, and all the while we are talking, she is showing us pictures of her dear Child, one by one, and then we turn the page and begin again.”  (Mgr. Hugh Benson)

 

Father, fill my heart with your love that all my actions may be pleasing to you. Help me to be kind and forgiving towards my neighbour as you have been towards me, through Christ our Lord.
