late night at work..

i gave a friend of mine a rosary last night
we work together and we have talked occasionally about faith
he said he learned the rosary when he was a young boy
i asked him the last time he prayed it
he said when he was a young boy
we sat there on a very slow night
i reminded him how to pray it
we went over the prayers
but most important,
i told him what the point of the rosary really is,
to meditate on the life of Jesus
to pray for help
to pray for others
all in the context of the gospel lived and taught by Jesus
he seemed surprised by this
as if he had never known this
he told me he would keep it close to him
