"My Son suffered horribly for
your sins. You
must make atonement for them. Do not neglect your duties. They
are most important. Say a fifteen decade rosary daily. This is
most pleasing to God. It is important."
- The Blessed Mother |
 |
"Would you like me to tell you a 'secret'? It
is simple, and after all, is no secret: 'Pray, pray much. Say
the rosary every day.'"
- Pope John Paul II
|
|
"The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the
demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin ... It not only
serves admirable to overcome the enemies of God and of religion,
but it is also a stimulus and an encouragement to the practice
of the evangelical virtues, which it develops and cultivates in
our souls. Above all, it nourishes our Catholic faith... If you
desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country,
assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day
pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with
many cares and labors." - Pope Pius XI
|
| "Spread
the Rosary, the prayer so dear to the Virgin and so esteemed by
popes; by it the faithful can best fulfill the command of
Christ; 'Ask and it shall be given; seek and you shall find;
knock and it shall be opened to you.' (Matthew 7:7). The Rosary
puts all who have trust in it into communication with Our
Lady." -Pope Paul VI |

|
- To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I
promise my special protection and great graces.
- Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my
Rosary will receive some special grace.
- The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against
hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and
dispel heresy.
- The rosary will make virtue and good works
flourish, and will obtain for souls the most
abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of
men from the love of the world and its vanities, and
will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh,
that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
- Those who trust themselves to me through the
Rosary will not perish.
- Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on
the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by
misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God
nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The
sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in
grace and merit eternal life.
- Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die
without the sacraments of the Church.
- Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall
have during their life and at their death the light
of God and the plenitude of His graces and will
share in the merits of the blessed.

devoted to my Rosary.
- True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory
in heaven.
- What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall
obtain.

all their necessities.
- I have obtained from my Son that all the members
of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their
intercessors, in life and in death, the entire
celestial court.
- Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my
beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus
Christ.
- Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of
predestination.
