LITTLE ROSE HAD GREAT
DEVOTION TO THE ROSARY

To Father Leonard, Rose once said:
 

"While I was gone in one of my dreams (for this is the name she gave to her ecstasies), I saw the Blessed Virgin Mary; she  unrolled the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary; they were passing before me as she unrolled them, until the movement stopped at the fifteenth mystery.  At the end, I read the name of my own mother.

I understood that my mother had had fifteen children, in honor of the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary.

The mysteries disappeared only to return again, and as they unrolled, they stopped at the tenth mystery:   I saw the crucifixion, and I understood that I was marked with the stigmata of the crucifixion, because I was the tenth child of the family."

When  Mrs. Ferron had her first child, while she was bearing it, she offered it in honor of the first mystery of the Rosary; she continued this practice until all the mysteries were thus honored."
