But still, I never really understood the Holy Rosary and its mysteries.

Same I never understood it at all even now. We are forced to learn such stuff back then and as stubborn as I am I go outside the flow and never even bother learning it at all. There's also Angelus and other prayer stuff that needs to be remembered back then.

But that was before the waters, the very sea that witnessed my new beginning, drowned me.

This one is deep.
