The Holy Rosary is the most powerful weapon on earth! It is our Spiritual Sword.

The Hail Mary prayer stems from two passages in the gospel of Luke. The first one, found in Luke 1:28, says, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” This was mentioned by the angel Gabriel when she greeted Mary; this event is also known as the Annunciation. The second passage can be found in Luke 1:42, and it says, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” These words were said by Elizabeth when she visited Mary and greeted her. To many, this event is also called the Visitation. *

The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary." Sister Lucia dos Santos (One of the seers of Fatima)

THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY by SAINT LOUIS DE MONTFORT 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." (1 Peter 5:4). 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 practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner of later you will be converted and will amend your life and 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 you sins.

Learn how to pray the Holy Rosary:

When we pray the Holy Rosary, we enter, and are engaged in the spiritual battle. It is important that you persevere in prayer, and not give it up. It will get easier.

It doesn't matter if your Holy Rosary is made out of precious stones, wood, or plastic. It is still the most powerful weapon in the world.

"For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens." (Ephesians 6:12)

MORE QUOTES FROM THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY by ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT

So every day do give her at least fifty Hail Marys - for each one is worth fifteen precious stones and they please Our Lady far more than all the riches of this world put together. Blessed Alan de la Roche said: "Let everyone who loves you, oh most holy Mary, listen to this and drink it in: Whenever I say Hail Mary The court of heaven rejoices And the earth Is lost in wonderment. And I despise the world And my heart is brim-full Of the love of God When I say Hail Mary; All my fears Wilt and die And my passions are quelled If I say Hail Mary; Devotion grows Within me And sorrow for sin Awakens When I say Hail Mary. Hope is made strong In my breast And the dew of consolation Falls on my soul More and more - Because I say Hail Mary. And my spirit Rejoices And sorrow fades away When I say Hail Mary....

This life is nothing but warfare and a series of temptations; we do not have to contend with enemies of flesh and blood but with the very power of Hell. What better weapons could we possibly use bat them than the Prayer which our great Captain taught us, and the Angelic Salutation which has chased away devils.....

Ever since the devil was crushed by the humility and passion of Jesus Christ he has been very nearly unable to attack a soul that is armed with meditation on the mysteries of Our Lord's life, and, if he does trouble such a soul, he is sure to be shamefully defeated - (Cardinal Hugues)

Blessed Alan said that a man he knew of had desperately tried all kinds of devotions to rid himself of the evil sprit who possessed him, but without success. Finally he thought of wearing his Rosary around his neck, which eased him considerably. He discovered that whenever he took it off the devil tormented him cruelly, so he resolved to wear it night and day. This drove the evil spirit away forever, because he could not bear such a terrible chain. Blessed Alan also testified that he had delivered a large number of people who who were possessed by putting the Rosary around their necks.

Our Lady also said to Blessed Alan: "I want you to know that, although there are numerous indulgences already attached to the recitation of my Rosary, I shall add many more to every fifty Hail Marys (each group of five decades) for those who say them devoutly, on their knees - being of course, free from mortal sin.

... it can surely be said that the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary is by far the most valuable one and that the faithful should be strongly urged to join it. This is because it has been awarded more indulgences than any other confraternity in the Church.... Through the Holy Rosary: 1. Sinners are forgiven; 2. Souls that thirst are refreshed; 3. Those who are fettered have their bonds broken; 4. Those who weep find happiness; 5. Those who are tempted find peace; 6. The poor find help; 7. Religious are reformed; 8. Those who are ignorant are instructed; 9. The living learn to e pride; 10. The dead (the Holy Souls) have their pains eased by suffrages.

One day Our Lady said to Blessed Alan: "I want people who have a devotion to my Rosary to have my Son's grace and blessing during their lifetime and at their death, and after their death I want them to be freed from all slavery so that they will be like kings wearing crowns and with sceptres in their hands and enjoying eternal glory." I have just said that to say the Rosary to advantage one must be in a state of grace "or at least be fully determined to give up mortal sin," first of all, because, if it were true that God only heard the prayers of those in a stated of grace it would follow that people in a state of mortal sin should not pray at all. This is an erroneous teaching which as been condemned by Holy Mother Church, because of course sinners need to pray far more than good people do.

To be guilty of willful distractions during prayer would show a great lack of respect and reverence; it would make our Rosaries fruitless and would make us guilty of sin.

When the Rosary is well said it gives Jesus and Mary more glory and it is more meritorious for the soul than any other prayer. But it is also the hardest prayer to say well and to persevere in, owing especially to the distractions which almost inevitably attend the constant repetition of the same words.

"...have stored up enough treasures of eternity, enough Our Fathers and Hail Marys with which to buy your way to Heaven and earn the beautiful crown which is waiting for each faithful Confratenity member."

Take care that your crown is not stolen by somebody who has been more faithful than you in saying the Holy Rosary.

Dear Confraternity members: if you want to serve Jesus and Mary by saying the Rosary every day, you must be prepared for temptation: "When est to the service of God... prepare thy soul for temptation." (Ecclus. 2:1)

... and all Hell itself, will wage formidable battles against you in an endeavor to get you to give up this holy practice.

When you say your Rosary the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary (BVM to Blessed Alan)

"Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been favored by so many miracles as the devotion of the Most Holy Rosary." (Pope Pius IX)

For final perseverance

Those who say it fervently and frequently will gradually grown in grace and holiness and will enjoy the special protection of Our Lady and the abiding friendship of God.

"No one can live continually in sin and continue to say the Rosary - either he will give up sin or he will give up the Rosary." (Bishop Hugh Boyle)
