Praying the Rosary

We are almost half way of October, the month for praying the rosary for Catholic Church obligation. I am so guilty not posting this reminder in advance for many can think about it as just a repetitive action without really benefits us. Some says its boring especially the current generation and others who pray it sleeps on it somehow. We experienced all of it every now and then during our prayer time too. But we mostly hear this comment for those persons who does not concedes the promises of praying the rosary.

By praying the rosary, giving at least 15 minutes of your time daily, I am sure that everybody will agree to me that we did not really consume or waste time for nothing but gained us so much more graces and pieces of good fortune with only so little time we spare in communication with our provider of all. As evidently affirmed below with intercession of Mama Mary, we can receive a lot benefits like;

Spiritual Benefit - brings us closer to God and allows Him to actively help us in our life.

Physical Benefit – healing thru meditation.

Mental Benefit - positive thinking with better outlook in life.

The Fifteen Promises of Mary to Christians Who Recite the Rosary

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 will 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, those souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. Those who recommend themselves 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 plentitude 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.
