By Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, Catholic Exchange - As a Carmelite nun, Sr. Lucia stated, “All people of good will can and must say the Rosary every day.” She said it was “in order to put ourselves in contact with God, to thank Him for his benefits, and [to] ask for the graces we need. It is the prayer which places us in familiar contact with God, like the son who goes to his father to thank him for the gifts he has received, to talk to him about special concerns, to receive his guidance, his help, his support, and his blessing.”
