A happy and blessed All Saints Day to everyone!
Spiritual Bouquet II went off yesterday afternoon, although an hour later than planned because of various domestic interruptions, but it should have reached the Holy Father's inbox before the close of office hours. I think you will all be as delighted as I am with our second effort. See text below.

Most Holy Father, the Pro Papa League and its readership, again send you our filial devotion and loyalty, and the assurance of our gratitude to the Most Blessed Trinity, for your Holiness' pontificate.
Ad multos annos.
Yours sincerely in Christ Our Lord,

Thank you, Jane. Much appreciated.
Jane, Thank for all your hard work, and your support and encouragement for the 'Pro Papa' cause.
Deffo can confirm that the Latin recording of the Rosary by our beloved HF has enhanced my praying of this devotion. It takes a short while to get used to the idea of praying in Latin but once it gets familiar, then one starts to learn it and go into deep prayer. Excellent!!!!!!

I think it's because Latin is Latin, end of story, no distracting connotations from the current and ever changing vernacular. Ergo, within it, one is held protected from distractions.
Glad you're finding it so good and glad you commented here. Perhaps others will see and take note.
God bless,
ICPP
