Quote/s of the Day – 31 October – “The Month of the Most Holy Rosary and of the Angels” – Goodbye October

“Mary, thou art the vessel and tabernacle
containing all Mysteries.
Thou knows that, which the Patriarchs, never knew,
thou hast experienced that,
which was never revealed to the Angels,
thou has heard that, which the Prophets never heard.
In a word, all that was hidden
from preceding generations,
was made known to thee, even more,
most of these wonders, depended on thee!”

St Gregory theWonderworker (c 213–270)

The Fifteen Promises is a tradition held by the Order of Preachers, that the Blessed Virgin Mary made Fifteen specific Promises through Saint Dominic (1170-1221) and Blessed Alain de la Roche (1428-1475), to those who faithfully pray the Rosary.

The 15 Promises of The Most Holy Rosary
Given by The Blessed Virgin Mary

1. Those who faithfully serve me, by the recitation
   of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces,
   to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armour against hell.
   It will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish.
   It will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God.
   It will withdraw the hearts of men
   from the love of the world and its vanities
   and will lift them to the desire of eternal things.
   Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me
   by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite my Rosary devoutly,
   applying himself to the consideration
   of its Sacred Mysteries, shall never
   be conquered and never overwhelmed by misfortune.
   God shall not chastise him in His justice,
   he shall not perish by an unprovided death
   Sinners shall convert.
   The just shall grow in grace
   and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion
   to the Holy Rosary,
   shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful, in reciting the Rosary,
   shall have, during their life and at their death,
   the Light of God and the plenitude of His graces.
   At the moment of death,
   they shall participate in the merits
   of the Saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from Purgatory,
   those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary,
    shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me,
    by the recitation of the Rosary.
12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary,
    shall be aided by me, in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son,
    that all the advocates of the Rosary,
    shall have for intercessors,
    the entire Celestial Court during their life
    and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons
    and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

Whenever I Say Hail Mary
Blessed Alain de la Roche (1428-1475)

Whenever I say Hail Mary,
The Court of Heaven rejoices
And the earth is lost in wonderment
And I despise the world
And my heart is brim full
Of the love of God.

When I say Hail Mary,
All my fears wilt and die
And my passions are quelled.

If I say Hail Mary,
Devotion grows within me
And sorrow for sin awakens.

When I say Hail Mary,
Hope is made strong in my breast
And the dew of consolation
Falls on my soul
more and more,
Because I say Hail Mary.
And my spirit rejoices,
And sorrow fades away
When I say …
Hail Mary!
