Quote/s of the Day – 7 October – “Month of the Holy Rosary” – Memorial of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary/Our Lady of Victory
“The greatest method
of praying,
is to pray
the Rosary.”
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor of the Church
“The salvation of the whole world
began with the “Hail Mary.”
Hence, the salvation of each person
is also attached to this prayer.”
St Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673-1716)
“Those who say the Rosary daily
and wear the Brown Scapular
and who do a little more,
will go straight to Heaven.”
St Alphonsus Ligouri (1696-1787)
Doctor of the Church
“And so we contemplate
all the great mysteries of His life
and His birth in the manger
and so too, the mysteries of His suffering
and His glorified life.
But even Christians,
with all their knowledge of God,
have usually more awe than love of Him
and the special virtue of the Rosary,
lies in the special way,
in which it looks at these mysteries,
for with all our thoughts of Him
are mingled thoughts of His Mother
and in the relations between Mother and Son,
we have set before us the Holy Family,
the home in which God lived.”
St John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
“If our age in its pride laughs at
and rejects Our Lady’s Rosary,
a countless legion of the most saintly men
of every age and of every condition,
have not only held it most dear
and have most piously recited it
but, have also used it at all times,
as a most powerful weapon
to overcome the devil,
to preserve the purity of their lives,
to acquire virtue more zealously,
in a word, to promote peace among men.”
Pope Pius XI (1857-1939)
“There is no surer means
of calling down God’s blessing
upon the family,
than the daily recitation
of the Rosary.”
Venerable Pope Pius XII (1876-1958)
