We wish to dedicate this video to Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC for teaching us all about encounter, generosity, and the Secret of the Rosary.
From our first meeting, which came about after almost 2 years of daily prayer, daily mass, and fasting, Father Anthony took the time out of his busy schedule to listen to our ideas about exploring the meaning of the Rosary, not just for our children and families, but for others in the podcast / digital format. Fr. Anthony guided our efforts, inspiring us to explore new ways to be creative in rediscovering the prayer of the heart, while also introducing us to Patrick Peyton, St. Louis de Monfort, and teaching us how the Rosary leads to the miracle of Divine Mercy.
In the next segment of Father Anthony’s discussion, he will continue with an exploration of why Our Lady of the Holy Rosary brings us closer to the Message of Divine Mercy.
Before that piece, we will introduce a special guest Father Anthony introduced us to back in March 2022.

The Rosary Hour Podcast will continue to provide notes on Póvoa de Varzim. For the time being, we hope this video captures the beauty of this Feast which Honours the Mother of God.
