"The Rosary is a way of contemplating the face of Christ seeing him — we may say — with the eyes of Mary. I wish once again to entrust the great cause of peace to the praying of the Rosary. I am thinking of nations and also of families. How much peace would flow into family relationships if the family would begin again to pray the Rosary."
