Thank you Mr. Saunders. My daughter converted at the age of twelve. She said, "I love being Catholic. Catholics like pretty shiny things and beautiful pictures and stuff we can hold in our hands." She has since grown in her faith but now makes beautiful rosaries of precious stones and sterling silver components. "Beauty, Truth and Goodness" are her watchwords. Thanks be to God for our Catholic faith! - Denise Martin Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:20:49 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/a-rosary-for-my-lady.html#comment-1399 I'M BLESSED TO HAVE HAPPENED UPON THIS ARTICLE. I LOST MY OWN DEAR MOTHER ON JUNE 6TH OF LAST YEAR, AND AT TIMES I FELT I'D ALSO LOST MY MIND, SUCH HAS BEEN MY GRIEF. I WISH EVERYONE COULD READ THIS PIECE, ESPECIALLY NON-CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS, AND KNOW WHY WE CHERISH OUR CATHOLICISM SO. IF WE'D ALL PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY, MAYBE WE COULD REVERSE THE COURSE OUR DEAR AMERICA SEEMS TO BE ON. - (MISS) CHRIS VIDRINE Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:25:32 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/a-rosary-for-my-lady.html#comment-1398 The Battle of Lepanto was a very important event especially in cultural and religious terms. It boosted the morale of beleaguered Christian (and especially Mediterranean Europe). However, it was not the major strategic victory it is often made out to be. The next year the Turks had rebuilt their fleet even larger than it was at Lepanto. We should thank the Blessed Virigin Mary for renewing our will to persevere against the odds of the Turk and not for any real monumental strategic victory. - Anthony Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:56:11 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/a-rosary-for-my-lady.html#comment-1396 Thank you, Mr. Saunders, for a very fine, uplifting essay. Your thoughts are those that have kept the faith of millions alive. - William H.

Sometimes I need a reminder as to why I'm Catholic myself, and about why I pray the rosary. I guess you could call it a pep talk. My own mother is ill right now, you reminded me that through our pain and sorrow, as Catholics we do believe and trust in eternal life. Thanks again, I needed that! - B.A. Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:47:09 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/a-rosary-for-my-lady.html#comment-1392 What a wonderful article. I was very touched. My grandma gave me my first rosary and taught me how to pray it. I first heard about the Rosary and Lepanto when I was a kid in CCD and was always fascinated with it and that has stayed with me. That and I adored Don John of Austria. Anyone who could dance before heading to battle was to-die-for in my book. I try to take my rosary with me at all times and I have spent more than a few classes saying it while ignoring my prof. - Megs Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:10:44 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/a-rosary-for-my-lady.html#comment-1390 Quite a moving article!  At the time of the Battle of Lepanto the Western World although fractured by the Reformation, still believed that Christ was with them. The Muslim assault was halted.  Modern Western secularism has blinded us to the fact that again we are engaged in a holy war for the heart and soul of Christianity. Now we have lost our moral bearings and Christian identity. I am afraid unless we find our identity again, in Jesus through Mary, this time we will loose to the Infidel. - William Dennis Wed, 08 Apr 2009 08:45:59 +0100
