The Saints, Priests, Bishops and so many noted religious have a lot to say about the Rosary; I will share a whole bunch of their very special quotes with you. I hope you enjoy these most blessed words, this sure was a lot of fun to compile. Embrace these quotes, live them as best you can. The Saints have some remarkable insight to the Rosary. We too can gain this same insight, devote your life to prayer and be faithful to praying the Rosary every single day. I hope and pray you have enjoyed this series this week.
“The word Rosary means “Crown of Roses,” that is to say that every time
people say the Rosary devoutly they
place a crown of one hundred and fifty-three white roses and sixteen red roses
upon the head of Jesus and Mary. Being heavenly flowers these roses will never
fade or lose their exquisite beauty.” ~St. Louis De Montfort
“The Holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be
amazed at the results.” ~St. Josemaria Escriva
“Some people are so foolish that
they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother.
Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All
graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.” ~St. Padre Pio
“The Rosary is a prayer both so humble and simple and a theologically
rich in Biblical content. I beg you to pray it.” ~St. John Paul II

"I ask that the world continues to make Rosaries, and send the prayers, link to link throughout the world. For I still promise that if you will listen to My directions, given through My Son, in the Father and the Holy Spirit - I promise to do all that I can, My children, to save your lives upon earth; and also, if you must come across the veil, to save you from eternal damnation through the Scapular and the Rosary." - Our Lady, October 5, 1985

“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary.

“The Rosary, precisely because it starts with Mary’s own experience, is an exquisitely contemplative prayer. Without this contemplative dimension, it would lose its meaning… Without contemplation, the Rosary is a body without a soul, and its recitation runs the risk of becoming a mechanical repetition of formulas, in violation of the admonition of Christ: “In praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their many words.” ~St. Pope John Paul II
“Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well. Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces!” ~St. Pio of Pietrelcina

FRIDAY’S
I share this meditation I wrote back in 2010. Here I share my own personal insight and experience, as I journey with our Lady from station to station.
Many Franciscan groups around the world use this for their own group gathering while they meditate the Stations with our Lady. http://beads-of-joy-blog.blogspot.com/2010/03/marys-way-of-cross.html It is unique and emotionally very moving as you move from station to station… From my heart to yours.
