"Say the Rosary every day...
Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners...
I'm Our Lady of the Rosary.
Only I will be able to help you.
...In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
Our Lady at Fatima

The
word Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several
people that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a
beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of
roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the
rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one.
The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because within it
lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the Rosary in fact we
meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and
Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer
we can all say together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail
Mary we invite Her to pray for us. Our Lady always grants our
request. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore it becomes ever
more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus can
never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition,
the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a
powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace.
With your prayer made together with Your heavenly Mother, you can
obtain the great gift of bringing about a change of hearts and
conversion. Each day, through prayer you can drive away from
yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils.
It can seem a repetitive prayer but instead it is like two
sweethearts who many times say one another the words: "I love
you"...
A devout exercise to perform praying the Rosary to obtain any
request is the
"54-day Rosary Novena" in honor of Our Lady of Pompeii.
