Holy rosary Quote by Anonymous
““Beginning the holy Rosary, I asked the Blessed Virgin for whom I ought to pray in the first joyful mystery. It was N. The Virgin made me understand that I had to pray for him, because the prayer of a priest must make itself felt even in the depths of purgatory where souls are waiting for it, waiting for it in patience and in suffering. I want him close to Me in My light. I want him to see the splendour of My Face and to exult together with his mother and all the saints. You, by offering the Holy Sacrifice for him, will help him to leave purgatory and to come to the light for which he waits, and which he desires. Do not put this off. I want to deliver him.””
