Rosary

Its important to pray the Holy Rosary daily and not to rush through the prayer as if we need to be somewhere else.  

There was a story about a priest confessor who advised three religious sisters to pray the Rosary each day for a year, and not to rush through the Rosary, but to take time, not to rush through the prayer, but to meditate well on the mysteries of the Rosary. 

 This was so that they could make beautiful robes of glory for Our Lady out of their rosaries.  

So after the year, the Blessed Virgin appeared to them.  She appeared to the eldest sister in a beautiful majestic robe and said to her: I salute you my daughter, because you have saluted me so often and so beautifully.  I want to thank you for the beautiful robes that you have made me.  Then she disappeared. 

About an hour later, the Blessed Mother appeared again and this time wearing a green robe but not as majestic as the first.  She went to the second sister and also thanked her for the robes.  But the second sister asked her why the change of clothes.  She said because your sister prayed the Rosary more often and truly meditated upon the mysteries.  

An hour later, the Blessed Mother appeared again and this time wearing tattered and dirty rags.  The third sister said: "O My Queen, how could I have dressed you so badly.  I beg you to forgive me.  Please grant me a little more time to make you beautiful robes by being devoted to the Rosary and praying it better.

This is a wonderful story on praying the Rosary and how important it is to not rush through the great devotion.
