"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death,
I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity
of your sins you shall receive a never-fading
crown of glory. Even if you are on the brink
of damnation, even if you have one foot in
hell, even if you have sold your soul to the
devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic,
and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a
devil, sooner or later you will be converted
and will amend your life and will save your
soul, if-- and mark well what I say-- if you
say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until
death for the purpose of knowing the truth and
obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins."
- St. Louis De Montfort
"The rosary is the book of the blind, where
souls see and there enact the greatest drama
of love the world has ever known; it is the
book of the simple, which initiates them into
mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than
the education of other men; it is the book of
the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of
this world, and open on the substance of the
next. The power of the rosary is beyond
description."
- Archbishop Fulton Sheen
"When people love and recite the Rosary they

burdened you may be with many cares and labors."
-Pope Pius XI
"Some people are so foolish that they think they

of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.

graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

themselves by this means.

recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the
grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary
shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall
have during their life and at their death the light of
God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of
death they shall participate in the merits of the
Saints in Paradise.

devoted to the Rosary.

Why you should say the Rosary daily...
Our Lady has 117 titles. She selected this title at
Fatima: "I am the Lady of the Rosary."
St. Francis de Sales said the greatest method of
praying is - Pray the Rosary.
St. Thomas Aquinas preached 40 straight days in Rome
Italy on just the Hail Mary.
St. John Vianney, patron of priests, was seldom seen
without a rosary in hand.
Fatima
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared at Fatima to three
shepherd children in 1917, as "Our Lady of the Rosary".
While this is a private revelation, it has been
approved by the Church as being true. While it is not
binding on the faithful as dogma, Mary did ask each one
of us to say the Rosary daily for peace and for the
sinners on earth, who will go to hell if no one prays
for them. By making it a habit to say the rosary daily,
we not only are obeying the Blessed Mother's request,
we are saving souls from Hell.
