    Great post. Carry the Rosary every day and say the divine mercy chaplet on Friday in addition to the mysteries. Recently visited St Faustina convent in Poland. It is a must in addition anything to any pilgrimage of St Dominic whom i admire and follow also due to his focus on rosary. Keep your good work on web page.
