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. Imagine that a little 9 year old child walked up and asked you to teach him some basic mathematics. You excitedly run to the bookshelf […]

All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. Remember when I said in my previous post about Mary’s rosary promises seeming like a spiritual infomercial? Well, I take that back. This promise proves that the rosary is more like an affiliate marketing campaign. In affiliate marketing, someone gets

You shall obtain all you ask of me by recitation of the Rosary. Mary‘s 11th rosary promise is one of my favorites probably because it is so easily misunderstood (thus providing me with lots to write about). What does Mary mean when she says you will obtain all that you ask through the rosary? I’m

Mardi Gras has come and gone. I hope you devoured those sumptuous desserts and succulent calories because now we forgo worldly gluttony for a spiritual one. For the next 40 days we take time out from filling our mind and soul with food, drink, TV, internet, magazines, and other activities that usually leave no room

There’s more!” If Mary’s rosary promises were an infomercial for rosary prayer and meditation, we are now entering all the bonus items. Commercials for cookware may say, “act now and get two of our deluxe frying pans plus

I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. Ah Purgatory! After the high regard Catholics have for Mary, nothing seems more contentious than the existence and need for Purgatory. It brings up debates between Catholics and protestants and questions like, “Where is Purgatory mentioned in the bible?” Aside from the

Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed. What? A third rosary promise about the time of our death! How could Mary’s eighth promise possibly differ from

Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church. Phew, that was close! I thought I painted myself into a corner after reading Mary’s 7th rosary promise. I initially thought that this promise basically rephrased her earlier promise about not dying an unprovided death and I would have nothing

Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life. What separates great athletes from good ones is their
