Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this practice. I had done another one of your rosary prayers which I really enjoyed so I’m glad I came across this one. Very peaceful way to begin my morning. It had been a very long time since I prayed the rosary, but I’m glad that I have revisited the practice. Thank you so much, Tony.
