When I think of how much trouble I've had all my life trying to recite the rosary!

How nice to have it confirmed that it is possible to have a personal relationship with Mary and not "love" the rosary. Not only that but to even become a saint! Sometimes I get the impression from various talks, books etc that if you don't say the rosary regularly, you can't possible be a good Catholic. Granted, Therese doesn't say she didn't say it, but it obviously wasn't easy and she had a tremendous love for Mary. It's just good to have a saint show that our love for Mary cannot be measured by our ability to say the rosary.
To promote the spiritual well being of children and youth and to provide spiritual formation and moral support for women who are called to work in a variety of ministries dedicated to this end, whether as mothers, teachers and catechists, youth ministers, social workers or as relatives, godparents and friends. W.A.Y. recognizes that such women have their own particular spiritual needs and therefore seek to foster a helpful pattern of personal and communal spiritual practice as well as a philosophy of Christian formation that will be especially helpful in work with children and youth.
