Catholic Review Online: Do real men pray the rosary? Texas man says yes and finds many agree

The Catholic Review has posted a story from CNS written by Rose Ybarra. The article begins:

Throughout his childhood, David Calvillo’s mother urged him to pray the rosary but he admits the recommendation went in one ear and out the other.

“I thought the rosary was for old ladies and funerals,” Calvillo said.

His mindset began to change when he attended a retreat at the Benedictine Sisters of the Good Shepherd Monastery outside of Rio Grande City – reluctantly, Calvillo’s wife Valerie pointed out.

“He was a bit hesitant,” Valerie Calvillo said. “He didn’t know what to expect.”

Going to the retreat proved to be a life-changing experience.

“As we were praying the rosary at the retreat, I saw something that I had never seen before,” David Calvillo said. “I felt this incredible connection.”

The story goes on to describe how Calvillo now has an apostolate with a website featuring a blog, the Mysteries of the Rosary, the Prayers recited, etc. Please read the story in full and click the link on the image to get to his website.

Yes, to answer your question, like Mr. Belloc, I pray it each day of my life at least once...
