Quote for the Day: Holy Rosary

'If you persevere in reciting the Rosary, this will be a most probable sign of your eternal salvation.'

 Cheesy

God grant us that perseverance

Look how many times Our Lady of Fatima repeated Herself when She appeared to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco in 1917. Looks like She was trying to emphasize something if I'm not mistaken

 May 13:  "Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war."

 June 13: "Pray the Rosary each day."

 July 13: "I want you to come here on the 13th of next month, and to continue praying the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for the world and      the end of the war, because only She can help you."

 August 19: "I want you to continue going to the Cova da Iria on the 13th, and to continue praying the Rosary every day."

 September 13: "Continue to say the Rosary to obtain the end of the war."

 October 13: "I am Our Lady of the Rosary. Continue to say the Rosary every day."

She certainly sounds like a mother to her children, who need to listen a little harder! Because they do not realize how important it is!

[Patricia]

"If, by the grace of God, you have already reached a high level of prayer, keep up the practice of saying the Holy Rosary if you wish to remain in that state and if you hope to grow in humility. For never will anyone who says the Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil. This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood."

~~St. Louis de Montfort

I love his statements on those who devoutly say the rosary! It can be a very hard prayer to pray! But it has priceless rewards to encourage it!

Does anyone use the Scriptural Rosary whereby a line of scripture concerning the mystery is read between each Hail Mary?
I find it a perfect way to keeop focused on the mystery and at times it feels like your almost there in the scene.

Oh, that's a good idea to focus on the mysteries. I'll try that.  Its a common complaint that the mind tends to wander. However it would prolong the Rosary  when children are saying it, and I know my children are not too patient.

I used to use that! I had forgotten about it.

I've been trying to use Marian devotional books like St. Louis and St. Alphonsus's to help.

It does take a little longer but it actually feels shorter because of the fact that your attention remains focusrd and it may even bring it to life forthe kids,
it may be worth a try to see how it goes

I borrowered a book from a friend once by St Alphonsus. He recommended that I use it for Rosary meditation and it was just the thing I needed at the time. I had to return the book but I memeorised some of the key teachings and still call them to mind when praying the rosary. He is an exceptional saint.

[Shin]

Hmm.. I wonder if I could possible organize the saints' quotations for sufficient variable meditations for each of the mysteries. Might be a good website addition.

[martin]

Possibly even one mystery at a time and post each one when complete.
It could be time consuming work and don't think we'll complain if takes a forever

[Shin]

I'm pretty sold on the idea if I can just gather enough material. It'll take time, but the rosary is a high priority in and of itself. 

If I can get, say, 10 different quotes applicable for each mystery, do a separate page per mystery, and clickable advancing through it, I think that'd be enough to launch it, and I would use it myself to help my meditations, which I must add I always desperately need help with.

[martin]

Seems like Our Lady ain't gonna let ya off the hook on this one

[Shin]

Heheh. Hmm. If we got fancy we could even do random images too for each, if there were sufficient. But that's unlikely for now.

Well, I am inspired enough to work on a template page and do a little quote gathering. Thanks Martin!

I am always looking for ways to make the Rosary easier on me, and when I find something I will use, I like to make it available for everyone.

So far I'm liking the look of the template!

[Shin]

Hm.. temple and intellect.. presentation of the child Jesus in..

I could definitely get some wide ranging quotes in for these mysteries.. probably will have to too..
