The Blessed Sacrament should be honored by hearing Mass, receiving Communion
frequently visiting the Blessed Sacrament, and making spiritual communions.
The rosary should be said daily...We should meditate on the mysteries, applying
them to the circumstances of our own lives. --St. Anthony Mary Claret
