Dear Walt, Wendy and Blessings. Thank you so much for the Catholic Grab Bag. One of the items it contained was a black, flat-bead St. Benedict Rosary. I had to laugh when I saw it, because a few months back, I had purchased one from the Internet, and just loved it. However, after praying a Series of Rosary Novenas for a priest friend of mine, Our Lady asked me to give it to him. Reluctantly, I obeyed, but refused to let myself regret. So, when my grab bag arrived with the same rosary, only this time with 35 Blessings including an exorcism blessing, and was touched to 61 rare relics, I was more than casually reminded of the faithfulness of Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother. Here I had received so much more than I had given. Wendy, my dear friend, I don't normally do this, however, if you wish to read a remarkable book on the Rosary, I highly recommend "The New Rosary in Scripture," by Edward Sri, ISBN: 1-56955-384-X. I am no spring chicken, but this opened my eyes and changed my entire outlook on this powerful and wonderful prayer. May God richly bless you, and all your blessings, and re-blessings. Love, Kathleen Gallant
