The Best Prayer for Men

I read this article here
Devotion to Our Lady may not seem an
intuitive thing for some Catholic men.
Growing up, I’d occasionally catch my father as he finished praying the
Rosary early on Saturday mornings (begun in peace when the rest of us were
asleep), or notice he’d left his handsome set of beads lying out on a coffee
table. I had the blessing of his
example. Other men know their fathers
have placed a Rosary in their locker at work (try and find a Catholic
firefighter who doesn’t have either a Rosary or a saint’s medal) or even just
keep one in their pocket, where from time to time they’ll pause and touch the
beads. But for those men who haven’t
“seen” or “heard,” how do we make sense of the Rosary as a manly devotion?
