Episode Details

For years, Melissa struggled to understand the Rosary. It felt repetitive, intimidating, and honestly, she wasn't sure why Catholics were so devoted to it.

In this episode, Melissa sits down with Deborah Viña, founder of MG Rosary, for an honest conversation about the Rosary, Marian devotion, and the sacramentals of the Catholic Church. Melissa shares how a recent 54-day novena completely changed her perspective, while Deborah offers practical encouragement for women who want to deepen their prayer life but aren't sure where to start.

Together, they explore why the Rosary is so much more than a series of repeated prayers, how it helps us meditate on the life of Christ, and how sacramentals like the Miraculous Medal can keep our hearts focused on God throughout the day.

If you've ever wondered what all the fuss is about when it comes to the Rosary, this conversation is for you.
