It is said the
Pope Francis is an ardent proponent of the Rosary and its devotions - he's not the only one! See a selection of quotes from the saints (and holy men and women) below:-
1. “The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times.” -Saint Padre Pio
2. “Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” – Blessed Pope Pius IX
3. “The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.” – Saint Francis de Sales
4. “Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through
life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray
the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world
today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.” -St.
Padre Pio
5. “Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well.
Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying,
it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains
necessary graces!” -St. Padre Pio
6. “The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.” -St. Josemaria Escriva
7. “The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and
to keep oneself from sin…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your
homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary.
Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you
may be with many cares and labors.” – Pope Pius XI
8. “The rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there
enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the
book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge
more satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the
aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of this world, and open on the
substance of the next. The power of the rosary is beyond description.” –
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
9. ““The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most
efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all
our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way
of praying.” Pope Leo XIII.
10. “The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has
given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent
that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether
temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us,
of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no
problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot
resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.” -Sister Lucia dos Santos
of Fatima
