15 promises by our lady Virgin mary to those who pray the Rosary

[Wendydoks]

(its May devotion guys so say ya rosary o)




Blessed Alan de la Roche and Dominic the Prussian, revived the Rosary during the last quarter of the 15th century, after a period of about 100 years where the Rosary had been forgotten. Thousands were inspired by Bl. Alan's claim that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him, telling him to take up the work started by St. Dominic, the founder of Bl. Alan's own order.


The Blessed Virgin Mary gave Bl. Alan 15 promises from her for regularly praying the Rosary.

These promises are:





1. Whoever shall 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 armor 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 the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite 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 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.

How to Pray the Rosary

Begin at the tail end of the rosary beads

1. Holding the crucifix: Ì"In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit", one Apostles' Creed

2. On the first bead: one Our Father

3. On the three grouped beads: one Hail Mary on each bead

4. On the next single bead: one Glory Be

Many people ignore the tail and begin at this point.

The first mystery

5. Announce the first mystery. For example, the first luminous mystery is the baptism of Jesus.

6. On the same single bead as above: one Our Father

Move on to the loop of beads

7. On the first set of ten beads: one Hail Mary on each bead (total of ten)

8. Pause and reflect on the first mystery

9. On the single bead: one Glory Be

The second to the fifth mysteries

Announce the mysteries one at a time and repeat the pattern of
one Our Father
ten Hail Marys
one Glory Be

until you have reflected on all five mysteries

Conclude each series (set of five mysteries) with
Hail, Holy Queen

The Prayers of the Rosary

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.


Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.


Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.


Doxology (Glory Be)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."


Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To You we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to You we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn the, O most gracious advocate, Your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of Your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Chaplets



In there most simple forms, Chaplets are short prayer devotions most often based on the rosary. However, there are many Chaplets with little or no direct Marian connection and are instead prayers specifically for the intercession of a particular Saint.




One of the most popular Chaplets today is the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The abbreviated rosary design of Chaplets themselves are also increasingly popular because they can be conveniently kept in a pocket, purse or in an automobile, a place that according to many surveys is the place where more people prayer than any other.





With only a few exceptions, any chaplet, usually of ten beads, can be used to prayer any devotional chaplet, decades of the rosary itself, or used to create your own order of prayers.

She has married and had other children. Why do people still insist on praying to the "virgin" Mary. Did she regain her virginty after having sex with Joseph?
