"No one expects the unskilled player to make good shots regularly or the excellent player to make bad shots regularly. What you mean by a good player is the man (or woman) whose eye and muscle and nerves have been so trained by making innumerable good shots that they can now be relied on."

C.S. Lewis from Mere Christianity

The Power of the Rosary

"The rosary is a prayer which gradually takes the form of an intimate conversation with Jesus and Mary.  It is easy to see how saintly souls have found it a school of contemplation...the words are a kind of melody, which soothes the ear and isolates us from the world around us, the fingers being occupied meanwhile in allowing one bead  after another to slip through.  Thus the imagination is kept tranquil and the mind and the will are set free to be united to God"   Pere Garrigou -Lagrange O.P.  In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives this is motivation enough to take time out of our busy schedule and make time to pray the rosary.  Let's make that a class New Year's Resolution!
