A good question at the beginning of the Year of Faith

The pope has proclaimed a start to a "Year of Faith" for Catholics to deepen our relationship with God and to live out our faith more openly.  A good idea!  And at the start of this Year of Faith, the Anchoress asks a very good question: It's October, Do you know where your Rosary beads are?  The Rosary is a key to Catholic prayer and "praying the beads" has long been a staple of Catholic devotional life.  Now would be a good time to dust off our Rosaries and begin to use them to refocus our spiritual lives on what is truly important.  Not politics, not even economics, but on our relationship with God.  Amen to that.

Not sarcastic at all! The Rosary is a fantastic way to start the year of faith, and a fantastic devotion for all the rest of the years as well!
