Here is a rosary that has protected me and my family since I was 7  years old. There are traditions that all people from my family have to use a rosary and this it's going to protect you and you can use it to pray, my grandpa (Miguel) is a very religious man and he on every Sunday must have to go the church or other ways he is going to feel good and he always try to pass that traditions to our family.   But there is some of Miguel’s sons who do not like go to the church but one time my grandpa tell me an anecdote about this his son’s (this happened during the civil war in El Salvador) they were about to leave the house and they were not carrying their rosaries because they said it was stupid but my grandfather told them to take them and they listened to him. After some hours some soldiers followed them to make them soldiers but the priest helped them hide only because of their rosaries and since that time they have never taken away their rosaries. Even Though I lost this rosary I never stop thinking about how it has impacted my family’s life.
