I was talking to a colleague/friend at work today about the sign of the times. She is not a regular church goer but is awake to things (didn't take the jabs etc) so I mentioned to her that I had written a book on the Rosary that was available on Amazon so she asked me to send her a link to the book by Whatsap - first she was completely amazed I had written a book and was so chuffed she text another friend in the school about it. So I had spare copies in the boot of my car and decided to give free copies to both girls. I took a copy into the class of the first friend and she didn't want to take a free copy and said she would pay for it. I told her I was doing this as a non-profit project and I could see her amazement at this and she gave me the biggest hug (in front of the class lol) she was so delighted it was obvious there was a wee spark there in terms of grace. I proceeded to the next classroom to give the second book away and again was so warmly received with smiles and joy - she said she was going to read my book tonight (and she said her aunt would be open to this so I am bringing in a free copy tomorrow again she wanted to pay for this but I told her it would be free as our Lady is generous and I will get back at least two-fold). I told them both I had written the book to help people to prepare spiritually for the times ahead. Please God this bears spiritual fruit. What amazed me was the joy I saw in their faces in receiving a copy of my book on the Rosary I too was pleasantly surprised by this so the faith in Ireland is still there just beneath the surface.
I have given away at least 15 free copies of my book this way - I get tongue-tied trying to explain the faith to people so I love doing it this way. Much easier lol!!
Oftentimes acts of kindness and generosity related to the Faith, rather than apologetic defenses, better lower defenses and touch hearts. How wonderful to see the fruits of your personal initiative! Thank you, Dear Lady!
Yes - this is true - they have known me for years and we have become friends - now they will know me even better as the book is a spiritual testament to to the love of our Lady.
she was completely amazed I had written a book and was so chuffed she text another friend in the school about it... Being a Yankee from the USA, I had to look up the meaning of this "foreign word": chuffed = very pleased!
Thanks for the translation, the word sounded to me to mean the opposite at first-offended but of course didn't fit in context.
This is wonderful Bobby. To see that joy. It confirms what I suspected. Our Lady was behind this "project" from the beginning.
What a wonderfully kind gesture on your part. I’ve been struggling to find the time and energy to pray my rosary so I’m hoping that your devotion will give me the boost I need. I just ordered my copy, thank you for the link!
I bought your book and sometimes take it to Adoration to help me meditate on the Rosary. It is wonderful..
Thankyou - what a great idea. I actually use it myself sometimes for inspiration when saying the rosary at home.
Bought your book, Bobby. My biggest problem when I attempt to say the Rosary is keeping my mind from wandering. Any advice?
