A skeptical relative once referred to my rosary as “voo-doo beads.” I suppose they can seem that way to those who don’t fully understand the importance of the Rosary in Catholic tradition and the riches it bears for all the faithful. Here’s my response to the voo-doo bead reference, posted today on Aleteia. I hope you’ll read it, pass it on, and then spend some time with the Rosary yourself today, especially since it’s the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary!
