Louis Ampere, the renowned physicist, whose discoveries in the field of electricity lent his name to the unit of measurement for an electric current (Amp.), said the Rosary faithfully every day before the Blessed Sacrament. In fact, the founder of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, Frederick Ozanam, who became Ampere’s life long friend, credits his conversion to the influence this great Catholic scientist exerted upon him merely by the simple piety he radiated while silently reciting the Rosary in a Paris Church.
