Abstract
My presentation is about how praying the rosary is an accompaniment to Mary in her mission to bring more people to know her son, Jesus. It is a tool that helps us actualize our friendship with Mary, and in praying the Rosary, it can serve as a common denominator for people of different faiths in seeking spiritual oneness. My Rosary presentation is unique because it is based on the writings of Father William Joseph Chaminade, the exiled French Catholic priest who reformed the Church in France after its destruction following the long and violent French Revolution.
