Rosary the Prayer of the Bible
The Rosary is the prayer of the Bible. All of the Mysteries that we meditate on have corresponding Bible Quotes. The Bible is not a history book. It is just as vital today as it was over 2000 years ago. As we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary through the Mysteries of the Rosary and the Bible, we realize more and more, how much they love us ♥

No dust on our Bibles
Let there be no dust on our Bibles, may they be well worn from use instead. A Bible that has not been read, just sits there gathering dust. A well worn Bible is what we want to have, one that is in daily use.
The Word of God must become part of our daily lives if we want to live life to the fullest. We are always trying to do a little better and to move forward in our prayer life. The Word of God is not a history book that sits on a shelf. The Word of God is alive in us, when it becomes part of our daily life.
Have you ever seen the heavy punching bags that boxers use in their training. For a boxer to become good, his punching bag should not look like new for very long. After a certain amount of training, the bag starts to become worn and at that point the boxer will take a roll of duct tape and circle the bag with it covering the areas that are the most worn, so the bag can still be used and it wil not fall apart.
Our Bibles should become worn with use, just like a boxer's heavy punching bag. Our Bibles, the ones used on a daily basis, may need a little tape to keep them together but that is a good sign.

Nourish the soul during Lent
During Lent many of us will fast from certain foods or perform other acts of penance. While we are fasting on some things that the world has to offer, we can still feast on Sacred Scripture found in the Bible. All of the mysteries of the Rosary and the prayers "Our Father" and "Hail Mary" are found in the Bible. By praying the Rosary and reading the Bible we can feast and nourish the soul.
"...man does not live by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord." Deut.8:3
