“Through the publication of The Family That Prays Together, Stays Together, Father Willy Raymond brings us an inspiring contemporary guide for turning to the intercession of our Blessed Mother as a means of developing a closer relationship with the Lord. In the midst of the often-challenging circumstances of life, Father Raymond calls us to turn to Mary, allowing her to lead us to the comfort, assurance, and peace of her son Jesus. Building on Father Patrick Peyton's foundational work by incorporating St. John Paul II’s luminous mysteries, Father Raymond provides us a source of comfort, strength, and assurance through the Rosary. I hold the daily prayer of the Rosary, among the greatest gifts of the Church, and encourage all people—younger, older, faith-filled or seeking faith--to receive the gift of our Blessed Mother’s consolation and closeness to Jesus by following Father Raymond's very accessible guide. It will bring you untold peace and blessings.” 

Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Archbishop of Boston. 

“As a young boy, I grew up hearing the phrase ‘The family that prays together stays together’ uttered by my parents frequently. As a precursor to our mealtime or bedtime prayer routine. But I never knew where the slogan came from. The mystery of its origins were ultimately revealed years later to my delight in my discovery of Father Patrick Peyton through my affiliation with Family Theatre Productions. This book is an intimate revelation of venerable Peyton’s powerful devotion to the Rosary, his impact on the world through his love for the Blessed Mother, and her miraculous intercession in his life that started it all, kicking off a prayer revolution that lasted four decades. Father Willy Raymond's personal connection to Father Peyton, his reflections on Sacred Scripture, and Peyton's life make the venerable priest’s love and zeal for this transcendent and history-altering meditation on Christ’s life irresistible. Any Christian who wants to exponentially deepen their relationship with Jesus and more fully understand the pivotal role and miraculous power of Mary as intercessor to our Lord must absolutely read this book.” 

Jonathan Roumie, actor portraying Jesus in The Chosen. 

“Father Willy Raymond is one of the greatest promoters of the family Rosary in our contemporary times. Inspired by the spirituality of Venerable Patrick Peyton, Father Raymond gently and richly guides the readers on how to pray and reflect on the mysteries of the Rosary, especially in a family context. Everyone, particularly parents, should read The family that prays together stays together.”
