“The Rosary reaches the coal miner, the taxi driver, the housewife, all the lonely people in their sorrows and fears. It gives them something both for their intelligence and their senses. It embodies the good news that Jesus loves you because you are His brother or sister.” — Venerable Patrick Peyton
