My Broken Rosary
My Broken Rosary By Karen Edmisten It was November, just before Thanksgiving and I was at the doctor’s office. I was pregnant, and cautiously hoping I would carry this baby to term. Though we had two beautiful children, after multiple miscarriages I took nothing for granted. The image on the ultrasound screen was not what... »
The Mother of the Son: The Case for Marian Devotion
by Mark P. Shea It has to be one of the strangest things in the world: So many Christians who love Jesus with all their hearts recoil in fear at the mention of His mother’s name, while many who do love her find themselves tongue-tied when asked to explain why. Most of the issues people have... »
The Calm of the Rosary
by Sarah Reinhard I used to think praying a daily rosary was too hard, but I got started with it anyway.

Falling for Mary
by Pat Gohn Dashing out of the rain, I hastened down the wet chapel steps trying not to be late for midday Mass. Seconds later, missing two of the steps, I landed with a thud in the narthex. Excruciating pain in my ankle momentarily blinded me to the reality of where I was sprawled on... »
Colored Beads and Coffee Beans
by Pat Gohn A Place for Mary in My Home It took a prayerful friend and a good cup of coffee to change my experience of the rosary. Nearly 18 years ago, I met a new friend at church. She had three boys. Her baby was the same age as my only child at the time. As... »
