FULL HOMILY   [translated by ZENIT’s Virginia Forrester]   “No one can come to Me unless the Father draws him”: Jesus reminds <us> that the Prophets also pre-announced this. “And they shall all be taught by God.” It is God who draws <us> to knowledge of the Son. Without this, <we> cannot know Jesus. Yes, yes, one can study, also study the Bible, also know how He was born, what He did: this yes. However, to know Him from within, to know the mystery of Christ is only for those that are drawn by God to this. This is what happened to the Minister of the economy of the Queen of Ethiopia.

All of the pieces of the rosary -- the prayers, the beads and the meditations -- didn't come together until the Carthusian monks of Trier put them together in the early 15th century. By the end of the ...
