Rosary Army

Rosary Army came into my life when my world seemed to be falling apart and I was on the verge of losing my faith. The Rosary Army helped me recover my faith and become a better Catholic. Today I am president of my parish's praesidium (i.e., local chapter)of The Legion of Mary, another great Catholic apostolate with the Rosary at its heart.

ps. this icon was taken at the National Cathedral, by a rosary army member. the other mary icon i have is "OL untyer of knots" who was adopted as the unofficial knotted Rosary Makers sponsor

I ran across this link on a Making Light thread a few days ago and thought of you: http://www.paternoster-row.medievalscotland.org/

It's primarily a history of rosaries, with a bibliography.
