[Sundaycommunity] A Special Request

[Brian Shaughnessy]

Praying simultaneously, each in our own way, sounds good to me.

I'm thinking of a Rosary, or perhaps a decade, starting at 7, but I know
not everyone is Marian.

I'm biased, because I eventually clued in to the wonders it had worked with
my nearly blind, holy, maternal grandmother.

In her later years, the whole extended family, young and old, coming to her
in her upstair's apt at my cousin's.
Like bees to the proverbial honey.  :)
