Une Minute avec Marie
Faire connaître et aimer Marie
I often used to spend time with a friend from church I’d known for years. During all our conversations, music lightly played in the background. She liked any genre; smooth jazz and blues, classical, country, modern, Christian, and a little Motown remix…
The Rosary is musical, much like those moments. Praying the Rosary is a back and forth movement, a swaying to the music of the Holy. The Hail Marys’ familiar words smooth in the background, the Our Fathers punctuating our space with heaven’s beat as the world outside fractures.
We do not pray alone, but rather with—with Mary to carry our prayers to her Son, with saints whose charism coincides with our intentions. We pray in community—and it is a massive community of saints—while experiencing an interior solitude.
