I just recently became aware of the Fifteen Promises of Mary given to those who recite the Holy Rosary. This is a very comforting devotional indeed. Does the Church officially validate such revelations like this one given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan, or does the simple fact that She canonized St. Dominic validate the Fifteen Promises revelation?

The Fifteen Promises of the Rosary

Our Lady made these promises to Christians who faithfully pray the Rosary:
  1. To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.
  2. Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace.
  3. The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy.
  4. The rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men 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. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.
  6. 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.
  7. Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
  8. 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.
  9. I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.
  10. True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.
  11. What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.
  12. To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.
  13. I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their intercessors, in life and in death, the entire celestial court.
  14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.
  15. Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination.

The 15 promises fall under the category of “private revelation”. The Church teaches that the “general revelation”, meaning Scriptures plus Apostolic Tradition, makes up the “Deposit of Faith” We are required to believe Church teaching on the general revelation.

Private revelation includes all visions, prophecies, apparitions and promises that have been revealed to various people since the general revelation. The Church teaches that we have the freedom to choose to believe or not believe a private revelation.

If the Church determines a so-called “private revelation” is not from God, or is contrary to Church teaching, she can choose to bann the devotion.

The promises of the rosary are not banned.

They have an imprimatur which simply put means there is nothing in them contrary to the Faith. They are a part of private revelation which we are not bound to believe even if from the lips or writings of a saint.
Pope John Paul II has written an apostolic letter entitled Rosarium Virginis Mariae addressed to the bishops, clergy and faithful on the Most Holy Rosary.
