"Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given new efficacy in the recitation of the Holy Rosary. She has given this efficacy 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, of the families in the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot solve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary, we will save ourselves." Sister Lucia, one of the Fatima visionaries, by Father Fuentes in December 26, 1957
The Holy Rosary is a contemplative prayer, in which we meditate on the life of Christ from birth to eternal life. Prayed daily, it helps a person draw closer to Jesus and helps one to come to know him as friend and Savior. In coming to know Christ better, we can grow to love him more which can help us gradually take on the values of Christ and leave the values of the secular world behind. In this way, we begin to carry the living presence of Christ in our heart.
Through praying the 'Hail Mary,' we give honor to Mary and ask her to intercede for us. Mary is praying with you. Remember that since the 'Hail Mary,'is taken from the Gospel of Saint Luke, it is just as much a Scriptural based prayer as is the 'Our Father.' Therefore, regular meditation enlightens the heart and soul to help us stay on the path of Christ. This is why the Most Holy Rosary is the greatest weapon against Satan, and in the end, it will save the world through conversion of hearts.
True peace begins in our heart through developing our relationship with Christ. It is believed that Our Lady gave the Holy Rosary, in it's present form, to Saint Dominic and she has continued to promote this devotion in many of her visitations to the world. Our Lady continues to invite all Christians, not just Catholics, to pray the Holy Rosary, so Satan can be defeated and the world converted. If you wish to feel the peace of Our Lord Jesus and help to convert the world, pray the Holy Rosary.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us and all the names we receive.
