The Rosary!

[CountryMom]

I just wanted to share that I said the rosary for the first time in about 20 years! I feel so happy and at peace. I also started reading a "proverb a day". Someone shared that there are 31 proverbs and to read the one that corresponds to the date. It's a great way to read a little Bible everyday. I've been doing it know for 22 days and thought adding the Rosary might be a great way finish off a short daily prayer time.

Please pray that I can continue my daily prayer time and pray that I will soon make time for daily mass! Baby steps as someone said!

Beautiful! My prayers are with you.

CountryMom! IMHO, the Rosary is one [of many] good reason to be Catholic. I am a convert from Protestantism and said my first Rosary a year or so ago. My faith has been enriched ever since.

There is NO PROBLEM so great, be it spiritual or temporal, that cannot be resolved by the faithful recitation of the Rosary.

THE 15 PROMISES OF OUR LADY TO CHRISTIANS WHO RECITE THE ROSARY

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise My special protection and the greatest graces to all who shall recite the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw 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.
5. The soul which recommends itself to Me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an 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 in reciting 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.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory, those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of Me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12. All those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by Me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from My Divine Son, that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors, the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the Rosary are My sons, and brothers of My only son Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to My Rosary is a great sign of pre-destination

I actually am a third person who has just started again. The last few weeks have been crazy and hard, and I've stopped doing just about everything except grace and praying before I go to sleep.

I stopped praying the LoTH, and the Rosary, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I've really only just gotten back into the routine, today. IT's not easy, but I'm going to use this as part of my lenten discipline.

"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 practice 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, Secrets of the Rosary.

I love saying the rosary...although I admit I don't say it as often as I should

however, when I do say it I rarely focus on the mysteries...I just think about Mary and the Lord etc...
