When you feel like there is a problem too big for you…
“There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
Venerable Sister Lucia dos Santos of Fatima
When you feel like you are lost and don’t know what to do…
“Abandon yourself in the hands of Mary. She will take care of you. Prayer shakes the Heart of God; it obtains necessary graces!”
St Padre Pio
When you are just too busy to pray…
“If there is no other time, say the Rosary in the street without letting anybody notice you. It will help you to have presence of God.”
St Josemaria Escriva
When you are facing family troubles…
“If you recite the Family Rosary, all united, you shall taste peace.”
St Pope John XXIII
When you are struggling with temptations…
“Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day be led astray by the devil.”
St Louis de Montfort
When you face a difficulty in a relationship with someone at home or work…
“Pray especially to Our Blessed Mother Mary, placing all your intentions into her hands. For she loves you as she loves her son. She will guide you in all your relationships so that peace may fill your life.”
St Mother Teresa of Calcutta
When you need guidance on what to do in your life…
“The Rosary is my favorite prayer…For against the background of the words of the ‘Hail Mary,’ the principal episodes of the life of Jesus Christ pass before the eyes of the soul. During these decades of the Rosary our heart is filled with all the events that makeup the life of the individual, the family, the nation, the Church, and of humanity; with our personal actions and the actions of our neighbors and, especially, of those who are closest to us, who are most in our hearts.”
St John Paul II
