I’m starting a 54 Day Rosary Novena in the next couple of days if anyone wants to join me. It’s a series of 6 novenas, 3 for petition of a special intention and 3 in thanksgiving. More info on it here:

Prayer Intention

Please pray for my sister and her husband as they try to conceive. My sister is a cancer survivor and the chemo has most likely caused problems. She recently went to the doctor and their chances are not good. So, please pray for them. 

Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St. Gerard Majella, Pray for us.
St. Anne, Pray for us.
St. Rita of Casia, Pray for us.

Famous Quotes About The Holy Rosary

“If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins you 
shall receive a never-fading crown of glory. Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have 
one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic, and 
even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your 
life and will save your soul, if— and mark well what I say— if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day 
until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins.”

- St. Louis De Montfort

“The rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world 
has ever known; it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more 
satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow 
of this world, and open on the substance of the next. The power of the rosary is beyond description.”

- Archbishop Fulton Sheen

“When people love and recite the Rosary they find it makes them better.”

- St. Anthony Mary Claret

“The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. 
It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying.”

-Pope Leo XIII

“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…If you desire 
peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let 
not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.”
-Pope Pius XI

“Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed 
Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the 
world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.”

-St. Padre Pio

“No one can live continually in sin and continue to say the Rosary: either they will give up sin or they will 
give up the Rosary”

-Bishop Hugh Doyle

“Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been so favored by so many miracles as the 
devotion of the Most Holy Rosary”

-Pope Pius IX

"We believe in the separation of Church and State, but that is not the same thing as a separation between faith and politics. Faith is what we believe, politics is how we act. We are hypocrites if we fail to act in accord with our beliefs."

— Archbishop Chaput (via thatwillbeallmisspotts)
