You've seen it on billboards. You've heard it in homilies. "The Family That Prays Together Stays Together."
The Rosary Priest
It was coined by Fr. Patrick Peyton (1909-1992), an Irish immagrant to the U.S. who was miraculously healed of tuberculosis through the Rosary. He dedicated his life to promoting the Family Rosary. He was a media genius. He got Hollywood stars (Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra) to appear on his radio shows to promote prayer.
The Logic
Why does it work?
- Vulnerability: You can't stay angry at your spouse while kneeling next to them praying to God.
- Shared Vision: It aligns the family's "compass" to True North (Heaven).
- Peace: It invites the Prince of Peace into the living room.
