If a compelling and
accurate text, which enjoys an imprimatur,
vivid pictures and a family-friendly feel help to ensure that a volume both
informs and inspires, then All Souls to
Heaven: A Catholic Family’s Complete
Guide to the Rosary is sure to inform and inspire.
Tom Wall has assembled,
with the able assistance of Martin Whitmore, a slender but packed booklet that
is sure to teach about the nature and the value of the Most Holy Rosary of the
Blessed Virgin Mary and delight with crisply presented truths and
encouragement.
A quick perusal may
lead the reader to conclude that this work is exclusively for children, given
the illustrations that are similar to those in materials aimed at the
twelve-and-under. But do not be fooled. Dad and Mom as well as older brothers
and sisters will also benefit. And the title is appropriate: this really is for Catholic families. And why not
even converts and those Catholics desirous for a refresher?
The timing of the
publication of All Souls to Heaven
is, inarguably, providential. Next year is the one hundredth anniversary of Our
Lady’s appearances at Fatima, Portugal. Her stirring message there heavily
featured the importance of the daily recitation of the Holy Rosary. Could any
of us credibly claim that “The Beads” are always prayed with the requisite
reverence, understanding and frequency wished by the Ever-Virgin? This booklet
will ameliorate such lack.
A brief review cannot
do justice to this fine work, the second half of which is stocked with prayers
to use and memorize.
Remember the following
exhortation: Do not be sorry later for having passed on this volume. Obtain it.
Read it. Distribute it far and wide.
