The Holy Rosary
wpengine2023-10-05T16:59:54-04:00The popes and saints strongly encourage us to pray the Holy Rosary every day and with ever greater fervor. Consider the following: [1] The importance and power of the Rosary in general (and specifically, the even greater power given to the rosary by God in our times); [2] That the holy Rosary leads us into the Mysteries of God and of our redemption (for example, one of these mysteries is Mary as Coredemptrix and Mediatrix); and [3] How to pray the rosary well (according to ten points provided by St. Louis de Montfort in the Secret of the Rosary).

This includes wearing the Brown Scapular and praying the Holy Rosary daily. At Fatima, the Queen of Heaven designated herself by the title of "Our Lady of the Rosary." There is NO problem the Rosary can't solve, including the great crisis. Pope Leo XIII called the Rosary the great weapon we need in our times.
