The Rosary in Exile

“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17

When all possessions were taken from him, Karl still held the rosary in his hands. It became his daily strength, a quiet rhythm of trust in the midst of uncertainty. In prayer he remained united to his people and to God’s providence. The rosary teaches us to see our own lives through the mysteries of Christ — joy, sorrow, light, and glory woven together.

Blessed Karl, lead us to persevere in prayer. Amen.
