Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Lay evangelist Gabriel Castillo is known for his YouTube channel, Gabe After Hours, and his great devotion to Our Lady.

Recently, he released a book called "The Power of the Rosary," in which he explains the history of this devotion, its benefits, and offers suggestions and ideas to those who want to incorporate this practice in their daily lives.

Speaking to ChurchPOP at the SEEK Conference 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas, Castillo encouraged people to pray the Rosary because "it's one of the greatest changes" one can make to improve their lives, especially those looking for a "spiritual breakthrough".

He also mentioned that, according to many saints, doctors of the Church, and popes, the Rosary is the most important prayer after the Holy Mass.

"When prayed properly," Castillo explains, "the Rosary is the greatest prayer for disposing your soul to receive more graces in the sacraments, it's the greatest prayer for discerning God's holy will and then having the strength and the courage to do it, and the greatest prayer for overcoming vice."

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
