Rome, May. 5, 2008 (CWNews.com) – The Rosary is “not some pious practice relegated to the past,” Pope Benedict XVI (bio – news) remarked on May 3. In fact, he observed, “the Rosary is experience what is almost a new springtime.”
The Holy Father led the recitation of the Rosary in the basilica of St. Mary Major on Saturday evening, at the start of the month traditionally dedicated to Marian prayers and pilgrimages. The Pope said that in his mind, “May evenings call up pleasant memories of evening appointments to pay homage to the Virgin Mary.” More here.
