Daniela McClintock is a woman who seeks to live out all the attributes of full Christian identity : as a woman, as a wife, a mother, as a daugher, as a sister and trusted friend, and as a devout person of prayer. In this episode she describes the power of the Rosary as a school of prayer in her life, and as a source of miracles and graces in her journey with the Lord. In this talk she describes how receiving our Blessed Mother as Mother and Queen - as Jesus invites us to from the Cross (see John 19:26-27) - provides both an example to follow in living a devout and fully Christian life, and a place of refuge and strength when we become discouraged or suffer set back in our spiritual walk and journey. At the heart of her talk is the Rosary - that great traditional prayer of the Church which has been handed down for centuries - which provides the person praying (1) an immersion in the Life of Christ, (2) a powerful weapon against evil and (3) an effective means of obtaining peace in our hearts (Pope Francis, General Audience May 17-2023). We hope that Daniela's talk blesses you as much as it did us.
