Description

Greg and Jennifer explain why they started praying all 15 mysteries every day, and how that simple change has brought more peace, surrender, and clarity to their marriage and work. --- Greg shares how St. Louis de Montfort's writings, especially The Love of Eternal Wisdom, encouraged him and Jennifer to avoid treating the Rosary like a checkbox. De Montfort's claim that there is no better way to establish the reign of Jesus Christ than by uniting vocal and mental prayer through the 15 mysteries is the key. Jennifer talks about hearing another married couple was doing this every day, and how that made the idea feel possible. That, combined with de Montfort's meditations changed the way they pray the Rosary. They also talk about what happened once they stopped trying to control the outcome of their prayers. Instead of using the Rosary to push one heavy intention, they began handing it all to Mary and trusting her to dispense the graces as she saw fit. Greg connects that surrender to a surprising stretch of fruitfulness in Rosary Army, from the new School of Mary launch to a possible pilgrimage in the footsteps of de Montfort. They also share how this month of praying together has brought greater peace, more unity in their marriage, and a stronger sense of what Rosary Army is really for: helping people pray the Rosary every day.
