One more thing — pay attention to the part about how the rosary promotes peace in families. I wish I had been made to say the rosary every day as a child. If I had children, we would be saying the prayer together every day.
Pray as if all things depend on God, but also work and VOTE as if all things also depend on you.
I pray the Rosary daily
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

I was a teenger when WWII was being fought. I personally have heard many stories from soldiers returning from the war-—stories about the amazing things that had happened as a result of the rosary. I wish I had the time to write a small booklet of all the stories I have been told.
I have often thought that every time we pray the rosary we say the powerful name of Jesus 51 times (50 in the decades and 1 more time in the Creed). His Holy Name has such power.
And focusing on the events of his life, death and resurrection keeps us ever mindful of his mercy and grace.
Praise Jesus! My mother was in the Rosary Society, the Blue Army and The Franiscan Third Order, when this woman prayed nothing but miracles. One son lost at sea the coast guard gave up hope but she told them go back where to an area they covered before, then found him. My father had a stroke. While the doctor told my mother he would be like this for life. She said no way his the provider for the family. He was healed within a week went back to work. My brother was marine during the vietnam war. Came back alive which he did not understand until she told him she prayed that he would not have to kill or be killed by another, he was a radio operator which came out of no where for him to do which filled the requirement of her pray. Which is not to say anything bad about the others who died in the war because I believe theres no atheists in foxhole, if not all most met the Lord sooner. My brother became a deacon of the Church and had a Family. I could tell you more but when there’s too many coincidences God is the details! Amen! Thank you for this Post Also I just found out that a Mary B. has cancer in the hospital could you please hold her up in pray. A friend. And I have always hold up every pray on this thread before the Lord. Thanks again

WOW! Thank you for that Rosary testimony.
I.m pinging others to your post to please pray for Mary B
Also remember That it was St Dominic during a heresy{ that denied Jesus Christ came in the flesh which is 1 John 1-4 warning] that the Blessed Virgin Mary gave the standard Rosary form to him.Which was used to fight this heresy. Who else would God send to prove that he came in the flesh but his own human fleshly Mother of Christ which makes more sense that She was bodily assumed into heaven for proof of his fleshly humanity for all time so she would not have bodily corruption. The Rosary first declares Christ came in the flesh by the apostle’s creed and centered in Christ with the Lord’s Prayer. I believe this intercessory prayer from Mary ,The Rosary prayer comes from Zechariah 3:7 were it reads at the end of the verse ACCESS AMONG THOSE WHO ARE STANDING HERE . Which points out to the time of the Messiah.
I will pray for Our Lord to give you the time-many of us would love to hear them
Bless you,dear friend!
Father Malachi Martin once wrote the following....
“The Devil fears the Virgin Mary more, not only than men and angels but, in a certain sense, than God himself. It is not that the wrath, the power and the hatred of God are not infinitely greater than those of the Blessed Virgin, since Mary’s perfections are limited: it is because, in the first place, Satan, being proud, suffers infinitely more from being overcome and punished by the little, humble servant of God, her humility humiliating him more than the divine power; and secondly, because God has given Mary such great power over devils that, as they have often been obliged to admit, in spite of themselves, through the mouths of possessed persons, they are more afraid of one of her sighs of grief over some poor soul, than of the prayers of the saints, and more daunted by a single threat from her than by all their other torments”
“The Devil fears the Virgin Mary more, not only than men and angels but, in a certain sense, than God himself.”
I highly doubt the devil fears Mary more than God!
God is superior to Mary.
I hope you are being sarcastic ... .

Hmmm ... my God isn’t going to be happy with that.
My God created Mary. I dare say, God is superior to any mere mortal.
We must leave it there.
I think that someone who God uses to expel demons knows more than you.

I wish you a blessed evening!

You don’t understand.
\If is God Who is ALWAYS in control.
Mary is lower than God, Who created her.
Mary is dependent on God.
Have a good time at the gym.
We’re just not going to agree.
I think the idea is that a humble human being followed God when she was told that she was to carry the saviour. And showed nothing but faith. The devil you remember in the fall of mankind from the garden really thought he had in the bag for the dominion of the world. I don’t think he figured on her being that faithful. Remember we are free to choose. Being a free moral agent, if not God would of been a tryant. We would have been human robots with no choose. So Mary filled all the requirements with total faith and choice. Imagine if you were a woman and told that you are going to have the Saviour. Then your going to be calm cool and humble, nobody but her to go thru this until God saw the right woman at the right time in history. And the hate the evil one has for the one that got away! Insane hate. Remember the first sin was pride. Angel pride. To think a humble woman obeyed to help bear the Only Saviour. A mere human in his eyes not a God or good angel. Insane Hate Indeed. Defeated by a female handmaiden of the lord. Also remember he turned the first woman Eve. But not the 2nd Eve. No thats because Mary was the Woman in Genesis 3:15-I will put ENMITY{ a state of deep ill will and hate} between YOU and THE WOMAN{note singular noun}, and between your seed and her SEED; HE shall bruise your head,and you shall bruise his heel.” And for that I’m eternally grateful! AMEN- PRAISE JESUS AND HAIL MARY INDEED!!! And that is why Mary is the Greatest woman of all time!!!!
Trust me, the devil hates God more than another mere mortal, Mary assigned by God to bear His Son. I’m sure the devil hates Ruth and Elizabeth who bore John the Baptist. It is GOD who created all of them and GOD who is in charge; not Mary, Ruth or Elizabeth. None of them are superior to God. What happens is always due to God’s plan; not the devil’s plans. Ultimately the devil knows that God, through Christ will defeat him; not Mary, Ruth, Elizabeth or any other mortal.
