While we may think they are separate, are they really so separate in terms of how we think of them? Or is there a way that God can bring us together through both of these prayers? Is there a way that they can, no pun intended, marry each other? In this week’s episode, Jennifer has a conversation with guest, Shane Kapler, to discuss the fact that there is a relationship between the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Our Guest</strong></p><p>For the past 30 years Shane has been involved in evangelism and catechesis within the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
