In choosing a name for this new blog I wanted to devise a title that gave honour to the Rosary of Our Blessed Lady. In the tradition of the link of this great devotion with St. Dominic, I have taken the name of a Friar of the Order of Preachers, Fra Alanus de Rupe (better known as Bd. Alan de la Roche), who was of monumental importance in the revival of European devotion to the Rosary in the latter 15th.c., and Saint Louis-Marie de Grignon Montfort whose True Devotion To Mary is perhaps the greatest work on Rosary devotion, and from which Pope John Paul II took his motto Totus Tuus (Maria). Montfort was also a Tertiary Dominican and his brother a Dominican friar.
Some of my articles have found their way onto the Web and can be found on Seattle Catholic, The St. Catherine of Siena Society and Our Lady of West Grinstead Shrine.
