Hello everyone! Be sure to pray the Holy Rosary every day! It is a wonderful prayer and is a great spiritual warfare prayer. Our Blessed Mother of God, Mary most holy, will intercede for you and protect you from temptation and from Satan and his demons. Pray it devoutly and I promise that Our Mother will bless you. Indeed, here are some promises of Mary to those who pray the Rosary:

Here are some quotes from the saints about the Rosary:

“Continue to pray the Rosary every day.”
Our Lady of Fatima to Sister Lucia

Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day be led astray. This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”
Saint Louis de Montfort

“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.”
Pope Blessed Pius IX

“The Holy Rosary is the storehouse of countless blessing.”
Blessed Alan de la Roche

“One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.”
Saint Dominic

“The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.”
–St. Josemaria Escriva

“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times.”
–Saint Padre Pio

“The rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at a heart a Christ-centered prayer. It has all the depth of the gospel message in its entirety. It is an echo of the prayer of Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb…It can be said that the rosary is, in some sense, a prayer-commentary on the final chapter of the Vatican II Constitution Lumen Gentium, a chapter that discusses the wondrous presence of the Mother of God in the mystery of Christ and the Church” (Blessed John Paul II, apostolic letter, The Rosary of the Virgin Mary).

You know, I try to pray the Holy Rosary every day and I can tell you that it is truly a storehouse of blessings. God has blessed me so much because of Mary’s intercession for me. Were it not for Mary’s intercession for me through me praying the Rosary, I probably would be in a state of mortal sin. Our Blessed Mother’s prayers for me have kept me in the Catholic Church. Our Blessed Mother’s prayers for me have helped me to resist temptation countless times. Praying the Rosary has brought about healing for myself, my Grandpa, and many others. I can assure you that the Holy Rosary is a wonderful and extremely powerful prayer. Please pray the Rosary every day!
 
Just this morning, I began saying the rosary along with a CD during my 35-minute commute to work.

One side benefit: I can’t swear at the idiot who cut me off with my mouth full of Hail Marys. :gopray2:
 
Amen! Totally agree! Praying the rosary once a day has changed my life!
 
Oh, the irony! 😃
I was just coming to the Spirituality forum to start a thread about my desire and my difficult to pray daily the Holy Rosary! And this thread was at the very top of the list of threads at that moment.
I totally agree that I should be doing it daily and with humility and great love. I want to. I am a fairly new convert of a few years. But I haven’t been able to adopt this important spiritual devotion.
My obstacles are thus…I have had two babies in the few years since my conversion, in addition to the children I have already had. I have zero privacy, and I must admit that I feel embarrassed to sit down and pray the rosary in front of my family. My husband, who is also a new convert, has no problem with me saying it if I want to, but he is concerned about me feeling obligated to say it rather than me doing it for Love of God. Especially as I tend to be a duty-oriented person. I am frequently up thru the night with all my children and babies. I am homeschooling. The list goes on.
The reality is, being so busy probably means I need to pray the rosary MORE, not less. So does anyone have any helpful ideas? When I can easily pray the Chaplet of St. Michael or the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in front of everyone with no qualms or interruptions, yet I am incapable of praying the Holy Rosary, something is wrong with this picture! :eek:
 
Mommamaree, this may not be helpful to you since you said you are shy to say the Rosary in front of your whole family. I understand as it makes me feel a bit self-conscious in front of my husband (who is not Catholic… yet?). But, as part of the bedtime routine for my almost-six-month-old, I say the Rosary with him. Obviously he can’t speak yet and doesn’t “participate” per se but as long as he’s not doing something injurious I focus on the Rosary instead. Admittedly this probably isn’t the most attentive way to do it but it’s where I can fit it in my day. I also say portions of the rosary while driving, waiting for appointments, etc.
 
Hi, I am a fairly recent convert, and I DO pray the rosary every-day,
but I find virtue in praying one Our Father followed by three Hail Mary’s
so don’t be afraid to day just three Hail Mary’s throughout the day!
 
The Rosary is the entire Gospel condensed into one beautiful prayer. The Rosary can convert entire nations to Catholicism. Pray it every day. :signofcross:
 
Since I started praying the Rosary every day I have noticed a difference in my life. I no longer succumb to temptation as easily as I did before and I find it easier to deal with suffering as well. I also find myself feeling more spiritual in general and it helps with doubts too.

Would you or your family have a problem with you donning some earbuds and listening to a recording of the Rosary while you’re physically doing something else?

You are absolutely right! Some Protestants complain that the Rosary is wrong because it is not “Biblical” as they say. Well, the fact is, it is very much Biblical. The only mystery of the Rosary that I know of which wouldn’t be based on the Bible is the Assumption of Mary because it is not mentioned in the Bible. All of the other mysteries of the Rosary are based on the Bible.

I guarantee that if you pray it devoutly you will find many other benefits. 👍 I certainly did!
 
My late wife taught me how to pray the Rosary,
ever since I started praying the Rosary, I’m
a lot healthier, with more hope, faith and love,
also, I have this holy fear of God and things
Divine! I think it is the Virgin Mother Mary’s
intercession that does it, thank you My Mother!

You should’ve seen me BEFORE I started pray-
ing the Rosary, It’s like night and day!!!
