A kind prayer

Commentary

I remember when I was a little girl, we used to get together on Sundays to pray the rosary as a family. In the beginning, I only went along, I did not understand that repetition of Hail Marys, but one thing was clear to me: it was a love that my parents wanted us to have for the Virgin Mary. There she was, always in the center, and I, almost unaware, was already beginning to pray to her through my gaze and my silence. Little by little, my prayer became more conscious, and today I can see the power of that persevering and loving family prayer. Undoubtedly, this prayer space has been a source of strong family unity.

Try it in your marriage! You do not risk or lose anything! On the contrary, you will gain a new space and time, spent with your spouse, which contains an enormous intimate dimension, a gentle and deep approach, complicity with the Virgin Mary that, as in Cana of Galilee, will bring forth an overabundance of the best wine, that is to say, mature, strong, tasty, joyful, and shared love.
