The Rosary, given by Our Lady to St. Dominic (feast day: Aug. 8) in a time of heresy, violence, and confusion, is one of Heaven’s mightiest tools, handed to us as a sword and a shield, as a way to plow and till the ground that we scatter the seed of the Word over; as a fishing hook when we serve as fishers of men; as a net to capture those souls who would fly away from the great tree that grew from the mustard seed, the Church.
