    The Church will be saved and the world will be saved by those who pray the rosary daily. There is no other way.

    I love watching Bishop Sheen and his talks on utube as I also love watching Mother Angelica. They have so much to teach in so many wyas, not least that they were superb communicators, not least because they had the light touch and so are so very easy to listen too. This comes across so well in Archbishop Sheen's books; he had the wonderful Irish facility of story telling. I love this.

    But one thing I notice as he got older (and this with Mother Anglica as well) is that as they years rolled by and they got closer to death there was a real note or urgency and warning in what they had to say about the Church. That they had both a real sense that something truly horrendous was on the way for the Church. Blessed Fr Solanus Casey had this as well , he used to often warn people that America had to stay loyal to Rome. You had this urgency of warning especially in the case of Pope St John Paul 2 who warned repeatedly that we had netered the times of the final battle of good and evil.

    I lvoe to watch peoples faces too. They are such windows of the soul; I believe you could even see this urgency of warning in his face when you watched him. You can see this in his very face in older pictures of him.

    He knew;; oh yes he knew what was coming down the line; he knew..

    I don't know if you have watched this before; it is short and very,very touching.
