Last time I was here in Scranton, I was working as the janitor in this cathedral.
Now I've returned, but as a priest.
Monsignor Kelly would be delighted to see me here preaching to you all.
I'm sure he's laughing in heaven.
You see, I wouldn't be a priest without him.
Him and my sister, Nelly, and my dad in Ireland.
My dad would lead the family in the rosary every evening, no matter how tired we were.
Family devotion gave me a faith that I carried to America.
And when I was at death's door, that faith saved my life.
I intend to use the health and strength our Blessed Mother gave me so that men will go down on their knees in their homes and recite the family rosary night after night for a lifetime.
I came to show you the pamphlets I'm making about the family rosary.
Will you talk about it on your program?
The more families we can enlist, the more successful our crusade for peace will be.
All from Fulton Sheen's program.
Pass me another box of rosaries.
Yes, I tried for the Catholic Hour with NCCM, but they turned me down.
