Rosary Question

[George789]

I am hoping a senior member can answer my question, but all help is welcome. I have one of these rosaries. I was just wondering. Am I breaking a Church rule by praying this rosary?

Would it be ok to pray using this rosary?

From my quick research, Holy Love is not approved, and one would be wise to stay far away.

I won’t put any stock in a visionary’s words that have not been approved by the Church. Unless she has been approved we cannot take her word for it that Mary appeared to her or promised anything.

Having said that, the rosary is a private prayer and so we can pray for any intention when praying it. Praying for the unborn is a good thing to do, but I wouldn’t go by Maureen Sweeney-Kyle’s promises unless the Church declares her visions to be “worthy of belief”.

I just recently was doing a search about this topic, because saw advertisement of these apparitions and rosaries in russian LJ community.

First of all, it would make any reasonable person laugh, that they claim these rosaries to be “copyrighted” - that “graces” belong only to rosaries distributed by their organization; and, copies made by others, don’t count.

Jesus and Blessed Mother specifically stated that only the Rosary of the Unborn given to Holy Love Ministries and sold through Archangel Gabriel Enterprises, a sister organization, holds the graces dictated from heaven. One may pray to end abortion with any rosary, however, Blessed Mother said it is “this particular rosary” that holds the graces and promises.

And, about apparitions theirselves. These are just rubbish. What would you say about people venerating… hair of Virgin Mary?!!

Recently, the Blessed Mother gave Sweeney-Kyle a strand of Her hair,
which is kept in a glass case in a small prayer room off the Holy Love
chapel. The faithful file in, kneel, and “kiss” the hair, wiping their
lip prints off the glass with Kleenex from a box on a nearby nightstand.
The day she found the hair, Sweeney-Kyle was looking at her blouse,
thinking, “Oh, I did a pretty decent job of ironing.” She noticed the
long strand, picked it off, and threw it on the floor. "And I was told
[by Jesus], “You shouldn’t have done that. That was Our Lady’s hair.’ So
I had to get down on the floor and find it.” Donald Kyle leans forward:
“Jesus told Maureen to have it put in a little relic,” he says. “And if
people would venerate that strand of hair, untold graces would be
theirs.” <<

The message of “Virgin Mary” regarding this piece of hair can be found by holylove.org website search, dated 4th june 1998.
