I have never read such a short and thorough examination of the history of the Rosary.<br /><br />I also found the information on the 15 rosary promises on <a href="http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/rosary-promises.html" rel="nofollow">this website</a> informative and interesting, not to mention motivational. <br /><br />You can also read about the <a href="http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/power-of-the-rosary.html" rel="nofollow">power of the Rosary</a> and print a guide on <a href="http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/rosary-guide.html" rel="nofollow">how to pray the Rosary</a> from that site.<br /><br />The 15 promises were revealed by Mary are for those who pray the Rosary daily. They are:<br /><br />1. To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.<br /><br />2. Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace.<br /><br />3. The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy.<br /><br />4. The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw 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.<br /><br />5. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish. <br /><br />6. Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life. <br /><br />7. Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.<br /><br />8. Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed.<br /><br />9. I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.<br /><br />10. True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.<br />11. What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.<br /><br />12. To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.<br /><br />14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.<br /><br />15. Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination. <br /><br />St. Marie Louis de Montfort's <i>The Secret of the Rosary</i> is a must read for anyone devoted to the Rosary. An insightful and chilling excerpt from that book <a href="http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/demontfort.html" rel="nofollow">can be read here.</a> It tells of the Rosary's power over evil. <br /><br />I'm glad you mentioned the battle of Lepanto. I love history and the power of the Rosary is clearly demonstrated in this historic battle. A list of other military victories through the Rosary including the famous battle of Lepanto and a brief description of each can be <a href="http://www.how-to-pray-the-rosary-everyday.com/military-victories-through-the-rosary.html" rel="nofollow">read here</a>.<br /><br />Thanks for your informative blog and for promoting the Rosary.WMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650338097785922316noreply@blogger.com
