An orthodox Bishop on Facebook stated that he thought the attached photo was heretical. Well, I don’t. I think the Rosary helps to bring me closer to Jesus, and He’s the only way to the Father. So being protected under the mantle of the Mother of God is a good thing. And as I have stated previously in various comments here at TAC, when I had a heart attack at 11:30 pm a few years ago, all I could do as my wife drove me to the Emergency Room at the local hospital was grab my Rosary beads, and pray the Jesus Prayer and the Hail Mary. Now at 68 years of age I row 8 kilometers in 39 min, bike 25 kilometers in 36 min, and bench press 100 kilograms. And all my blood work from the doctor’s visit two days ago was in the green; my niece (a 40 year old nurse) on reviewing the data said that I am healthier than her, and technically, I should be dead! That’s proof positive that Rosary works, period, and thus the devil hates it.
Lucius, Bishop Sheen (as orthodox as they come) felt the same way as you and I!
