Testimony of an Ambassador:

Spreading the Devotion to Pray
 2,000 Hail Mary's on
 First Saturdays

        I want to share something special with you. I love to be around people and pray, and I especially look forward to this sort of gathering. I went on a couple of pilgrimages to Israel and on both there were approximately 50 Philippinos. They brought from the Philippines the 2,000 Hail Mary's to be said every First Saturday and they invited me to join them and kind of adopted me — they said, you listened to our 2,000 Hail Mary's and tolerated us, so we're going to adopt you.

        It's really wonderful, it's nice to be with people who pray, and together say 2,000 Hail Mary's in one day. I am trying to spread that through my social life and my friends love it. They never heard of it before. I feel so blessed being involved in this, it's like a little miracle.
