It is always tempting to seek that which you do not already have. To reach past the simple, the obvious, the close at hand, for something better, more worthy, or more valued by the world. But that which is close, intimate, and easy-to-grasp is far more useful and profound.
I have placed within reach the answer to all your prayers. I have already given you the thing you most need — the heart’s treasure, the pearl beyond price, the prize that no one can steal. I have set before you a path that is no path, because it turns in circles, spiraling closer and closer to its own joy, its own destiny, and its only true home.
The rosary you take up when you pray is both a journey and the destination of that journey — a garden that encloses all things, contains all knowledge, embodies all wisdom, and includes all time. All is expressed by it, and yet it is small enough to hold in the palm of your hand.
