“The world about you is vast and wide, but the world you live in is actually very small. The more you live in that smaller world, the happier and healthier you will become. You will experience safety there and love. Your work in that world will be plain and easy to accomplish, and your place in it will be easy to recognize. Birds don’t make their nests in the sky.
“The rosary will teach you everything you need to know about turning the great world of power and struggle, ambition and influence, inside out so that the true dimensions of your lives are revealed. Small is powerful. Small is resilient. Small is always easy to understand.
“You have drifted so far from yourselves as nations and religions that it may now feel almost impossible to find your way back to a world that is in scale with your lives. But by praying the rosary you will find it. The rosary is the thread I have left to guide you back through the labyrinth of sorrow to the land of the heart that is your life.”
