before GOD, of the
souls he is directing.
76. GOD asked me to pray a 15
decade rosary every day. I told Him He would
have to provide one for me since
I didn't have one. Later, I went to visit
the 'Little Rose Ferron' home, and
as I waited outside a woman I had not
met before, stopped and said she
had something for me, but she had to go
home to get it. She came back
in about a half hour and said, "I don't know

you." It was a 15 decade rosary.
