Hi there,

This is a wonderful testament to a young man's faith. I didn't really get the explanation of the Rosary beads in the early section but that is not important for the message in the story. An emotional write.

Good luck in the contest.

The friends come out and look at the accident many crying. Among the car there are things found is clear but the rosary is nowhere to be seen. The classmates cannot understand and begin to search around. Then open in a telephone pole the Rosary was found. It was open like on display for all too see. It is clear that this young man was praying when the truck hit him and the Rosary flew impacted into the pole. The testimony of Faith again given to his classmates made so bold. - this paragraph is quite awkwardly phrased. .

Thanks for the comments. I am more a poet and that is what was forming more then prose. The earlier part just mentioned the basics. The Rosary is set into Fifteen Mysteries of the life of Jesus and Mary. Starting with the Annunciation to Mary or better the Incarnation of Jesus in Mary's womb. The last Mystery deals with Mary's Coronation as Queen of Heaven and Earth. These Mysteries are called the Joyful, The Sorrowful and the Glorious Mysteries. The life of Jesus is thought of while saying the prayers, the Our Father, ten Hail Mary's (the words of the Archangel to Mary followed with asking for her prayers for us, and the Glory be to the Father (Glory to the Trinity). It was not needed for the story so just told but not explained.

I may have to do some more reading on this. it has piqued my interest.

The message of the story is clear without the explanation, as you say.

All the best
