IPOPE UJohn Paul II wabiza iRosari ngokuthi "isikole sikaMariya".
Kukangaki ngikhungathwa yiziphazamiso nokukhathazeka, bese ngicwiliswa ekuthuleni okukhulu njengoba ngiqala ukuthandaza iRosari! Futhi kungani lokhu kufanele kusimangaze? IRosari ayilutho ngaphandle “kokuhlanganisa iVangeli” (URosarium Virginis Mariae, JPII). NeZwi likaNkulunkulu linjalo "living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb 4: 12).
Ingabe ufisa ukudabula usizi lwenhliziyo yakho? Ingabe ufisa ukubhoboza ubumnyama ngaphakathi komphefumulo wakho? Bese uthatha le Nkemba isesimweni seketanga, futhi ngayo, ucabange ubuso bukaKristu Ezimfihlakalo Zerosari. Ngaphandle kwamaSakramente, ayikho enye indlela umuntu angashesha ngayo ukweqa izindonga zobungcwele, akhanyiselwe unembeza, aphenduke, avulelwe ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu, ngaphandle kwalomkhuleko omncane wencekukazi.
Futhi njengoba unamandla lomthandazo, zinjalo nezilingo hhayi ukuyikhuleka. Eqinisweni, mina ngokwami ngilwa nalokhu kuzinikela ngaphezu kwanoma yikuphi okunye. Kodwa isithelo sokukhuthazela singafaniswa nomuntu obhola izinyawo ezingamakhulu amamitha ngaphansi kuze kube yilapho embule imayini yegolide.
Uma ngesikhathi seRosari, uphazamiseka izikhathi ezingama-50, bese uqala ukuthandaza futhi isikhathi ngasinye. Usunikele ngezenzo zothando ezingama-50 kuNkulunkulu. –Fr. Bob Johnson, UMadonna House Apostolate (umqondisi wami ongokomoya)
