The Power of the Rosary (II)

So Montfort said: "Since you do not care to sing, recite the rosary with me." Then they all fell to their knees and with tears streaming down their faces, bawling like children, they recited the Hail Mary over the ocean, and their prayers reached heaven. The rosary ended and the missionary spoke again: "Do not be afraid! Our Mother the Blessed Virgin has heard us! We are out of danger!" "Out of danger?" the crew screamed. "Don't you see that we are already within fire reach? "Have faith!" insisted Grignion de Montfort. At that moment there was a strong gale. The enemy ships were turned and tossed like walnut shells, and they disappeared over the horizon. The crew of the ship was saved and they alighted on the island singing the Magnificat. When some poor fishermen heard about the miracle, they were all ears to the missionary's preaching. Everyone asked to confess, except the governor, and they became fervent Christians, always remaining faithful to the rosary.
