Meet the Authors of 101 Inspirational Stories of the Rosary

Meet Author Mary Schuster from Joliet, Illinois

Opening Paragraph from story.

Watching My Grandmother As a little girl, I would watch my grandmother go into the living room every afternoon and say her rosary with the deepest devotion. I would just stand there watching her in awe. Never once did she compel me to join her. However, I adored this simple woman and out of admiration learned a deep love for our Holy Mother Mary through her rosary.

A few words from Mary Each day I go to the Poor Clare Monastery and before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament I make a Holy Hour. I have learned that through the daily holy hour that my love for Jesus is more profound and that the love for my family and the people that Jesus places in my life is more compassionate and understanding. The first half hour I sit quietly before Jesus and place all the people that have come into my heart into His Heart and than I tell Him that I love Him and I trust that He will take care of them. The next half hour, I pray the Rosary begging our Holy Mother Mary to touch the hearts of her children. I have seen incredible miracles. Jesus says, "Nothing is impossible with God." When I am in my car, traveling from one ministry to another I play the rosary using a tape and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. During heavy traffic, I have noticed that my stress level is greatly diminished. We are so blessed to join Our Heavenly Mother to spend time with her Son Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
