Pope John Paul II believed in the benefits of the rosary and told us, 'How beautiful is the family that recites the rosary in the evening.' In honor of your child's First Communion, bring the family together to pray this beautiful, simple prayer with deep meaning. Mary has stressed through visions approved by the Church that the rosary is a weapon against evil and can only bring us closer to Her son. The rosary is an effective way to promote peace in the world as it quiets and soothes our own souls and brings people who pray the rosary together for a common purpose. The power of the rosary is the greatest gift you can introduce your child to.
