THE DEVOTION TO THE HOLY ROSARY AND THE FIVE SCAPULAR

The Redemptorist Father Michael Muller had a secret weapon which won him more converts than did his indefatigable preaching and writing the Holy Rosary.  This book was written as a thank you to the Mother of God for graces received.

In this book, Father Muller explains about the Rosary and what the rosary should be.  Consequently, after reading this book, one will find it difficult to recite the rosary mechanically and wear the scapular apathetically.

Father Muller stresses that the Holy Rosary and the scapular are gifts from the Blessed Virgin Mary.  They are powerful tools in spiritual welfare.  He also states that the recitation of the Rosary and the meditation on the mysteries is the best thank you to Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, for her unfathomable mercies.

This is a book that the faithful will love so much that they will feel compelled to share their gift with wayward friends and relatives.
