By Fr. Patrick Briscoe, OP, Aleteia - Life is one storm after another. The Rosary is a great ship of obedience... The most common depictions of Our Lady of the Rosary show the Blessed Mother handing her chain of prayers to St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena. According to tradition, Dominic, the founder of the Dominicans, received the Rosary from Our Lady to help his work of preaching in medieval France.
