The Month of the Rosary

Hello you all. Today is Sunday...it's...the Lord's day! If you are a follower of my blog you know that I say that often. Also you know that I do write about my Catholic religion once in awhile.
Today I would like to share with you that October is the month of the rosary.
I do love to recite the Rosary. It is my favorite prayer of all, in the Catholic religion. A lot of people don't like to recite it because of it's length of prayer and you do have to meditate on the mysteries. It is a very powerful prayer. I do try to recite it daily, like the Blessed Virgin Mary wants us to.
The rosary in this picture was a gift to my family from my husbands aunt. She and her husband visited Italy and the Vatican and all that. It is one of my favorite rosary's that I have. It's very special because it was blessed by Pope John Paul ll. The rosary is made of rose wood and has the scent of roses. Every time you open up the little box it comes in, it smells like roses to.



I was thinking about typing up how to recite the rosary but decided not to because you can find that pretty much anywhere. In books and on the Internet. So I thought that I would type up for you the 15 promises of the rosary from Our Lady. I like to read over these often because I just like to be reminded of it.

The 15 Promises from our Lady 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 those 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 people 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 to recite 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 children, and brothers and sister of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

I hope this brings you peace as it does for me over and over and over again.
