The Rosary & Our Lady

1. “You must know that when you ‘Hail’ Mary, she immediately greets you!

If you greet her, she will answer you right away and converse with you!” ~St. Bernardine of Siena

2. “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

10."Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is in a rosary. Take away the chain, and the beads are scattered; remove humility and all virtues vanish.” ~St. John Vianney

11. "Say the Holy Rosary. Blessed be that monotony of Hail Mary's which purifies the monotony of your sins.” ~Saint Josemaria Escriva >>>MONOTONY is referring to the repetitiveness of the Hail Mary’s as to the repetitiveness of the sins we keep sinning. <<<

12. “Let us always recognize the face of Jesus in those who are suffering; let us also open our hearts to their needs, loving them and praying for them and doing for them; whatever God has led us to do. Never allow our own selfish pride of ‘my stuff’ hold us back from sharing and giving to those our Lord sends before us. What would Jesus do? Is exactly what we must do! Without haste, but rather, as soon as we possibly can …to help them!!!” ~Jim Dacey Jr OFS

13. "You always leave the Rosary for later, and you end up not saying it at all because you are sleepy. If there is no other time, say it in the street without letting anybody notice it. It will, moreover, help you to have presence of God.” ~Saint Josemaria Escriva

To those who suffer wounds in fighting his battles God opens his arms in loving, tender friendship. That is why he (Christ) tells us that if we want to join him, we shall travel the way he took.

27. “If we only knew the precious treasure hidden in infirmities, we would receive them with the same joy with which we receive the greatest benefits, and we would bear them without ever complaining or showing signs of weariness.” ~St. Vincent de Paul

28. “No earthly pleasures, no kingdoms of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.” ~St. Ignatius of Antioch

29. “I have come to this conclusion, not that I haven’t considered it before, for I have; and I did respond accordingly as I am about to share this conclusion. For it is better to hunger desperately and daily for The Holy Eucharist; than to hunger and eat the food of man. There is no other meal that I so desire. There was a time when The Eucharist was my first consumption of my every day; nothing else ever touched my lips first, only Jesus. I miss that, I must return.” ~Jim Dacey Jr OFS
