    The rosary is a powerful thing. one day , I had a job interview and i didn't think I did very good. The rest of the day was overshadowed by the bad things I thought I said. I picked up my rosary I bought a couple days before and prayed it. When I was done, all the bad things i said were far from my mind and to this day I don't even remember what I said. And the holy spirit reminded me of the good things I said and I and God ultimately got me on the job a week later. That was my first taste of the power of the rosary.

      Everyone needs to pray the Holy Rosary daily.... as Padre Pio said... "The Rosary is THE weapon for these times" and Fr. Amorth, Vatican exorcist was revealed to by Satan that every "Hail Mary" was like a "hammer blow to his head!!!"...Thank God +
      The 15 Promises for those who prays the Holy Rosary faithfully are:
      1. Those who 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 shall be a powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
      4. The recitation of the Rosary 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, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
      5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.
      6. Those who recite my Rosary devoutly, applying themselves to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. In His justice, God will not chastise them; nor shall they perish by an unprovided death, i.e., be unprepared for heaven. Sinners shall convert. The just shall persevere in grace and become worthy of eternal life.
      7. Those who have a true devotion to the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
      8. Those who faithfully recite the Rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude 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. By the recitation of the Rosary you shall obtain all that you ask of me.
      12. 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 their death.
      14. All who recite the Rosary are my beloved children and the brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.
      15. Devotion for my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

    Great stuff! I've gotten back to praying all 4 mysteries each day. I've found that praying one decade at a time, spacing them out throughout the day works really well for me. It saturates my day in prayer. Sometimes I do rush through them, but other times I take my time and pause before starting a Hail Mary bead so that I can pray for someone.
    You mentioned the Fatima prayer being optional, but you highly recommend it. That prayer in particular for me has been really special. It's a reminder to pray for those most in need of Jesus mercy. The people that come to mind for me are the ones that hate the Catholic church or hate God. I pray they would come to know and love him.
    The rosary is beautiful, powerful, scriptural and given time will absolutely transform your life.

    I'm an Eastern Christian but I remember praying a decade of the rosary faithfully and I did not fall into a sin I was committing, on the sixth day, there wasn't much faithfulness within a decade, and I sinned. I have had a difficulty with badly made rosaries when the beads fall apart. Once I needed so much rest that I fiddled with the beads and it was hard to put back. Truthfully from experience, I couldn't dare sin wearing it. Except, as Eastern Christianity goes, I did reject it because I did want to reject Western Christianity as it had been dominant during my childhood and deal with more Eastern matters. The weak made rosaries did make the rosary fade from me.

      How the Rosary Saved an Entire Squadron in WWII
      The following story from the second world war was recounted to Dominican priest Fr Gabriel Harty by a non-Catholic devotee of the Rosary from Canada.
      ‘It was May, 1940, and we joined the Air Force in late September. We were grouped into squadrons. About thirty to fifty men made up a squadron, along with the squadron leader who gave all the orders and kept us functioning in unity. They told us that we were going overseas and would be in action right away. We eagerly awaited our new squadron leader. As an officer he would, we believed, go straight to the officers’ quarters. However, this squadron leader, Stan Fulton, in full uniform, headed for our bunk house, where he settled in with the rest of us. He threw his bag on an upper bunk. Our squadron leader, an officer, sleeping here with us! We liked him at once and our liking and our admiration grew each day. That first night he knelt on the floor and prayed his Rosary in silence. Astounded, we were struck dumb. When he finished, he looked at us with his friendly smile and said, “I hope you guys don’t mind a fellow saying some prayers because where we’re going, we’re going to need them.” Next night, he repeated his prayer session. Although our group had been together for six months at least, I had never seen anyone kneel in prayer, and had no idea that any of our group was Catholic. The third night three of our companions joined Fulton in saying the Rosary. The rest of us did not understand, but we kept a respectful silence. We were weren’t slow however on the pick-up. Soon we were all answering the Hail Marys and Our Fathers. So, we ended each day in prayer. Shortly enough we were to begin a series of night raids from England over Germany. The evening before, Fulton gave each of us a Rosary. “We shall be in some tight situations, but if you agree to keep the Rosary with you and to say it, I promise you that Our Lady will bring you all back safe.” “Sure thing” we replied, little thinking we would be in action for four years, often in dreadful danger. At such times, Fulton’s voice would ring through each plane, “Hail Mary…”and we would devoutly respond! We must have said hundreds of Rosaries in the skies. Ours was the only squadron that had not lost a plane or a single life. We said nothing, but we treasured our secret weapon. We did survive, too. All returned to Canada in 1945, fully convinced that Our Lady had taken care of us. So I never forget to keep my Rosary with me and say it every day although I am not a Catholic. When I change my trousers, the first thing I transfer, even before my wallet, is my Rosary."
