The following promises were given by the Blessed Mother to Saint Dominic
and Blessed Alan in the twelfth century. These promises are fifteen in
number and are for Christians who recite the Rosary. The
Blessed Mother promises:
- Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary,
shall receive signal graces.
- I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those
who shall recite the Rosary.
- The Rosary shall be powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice,
decrease sin and defeat heresies.
- It 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.
- The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary,
shall not perish.
- Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the
consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune.
God will not chastise him in His justice. He shall not perish by an
unprovided death. If he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God
and become worthy of eternal life.
- Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without
the sacraments of the Church.
- Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have, during their
life and at their death, the light of God and the plentitude of His
graces. At the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits
of the saints in paradise.
- I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the
Rosary.
- The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory
in heaven.
- You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
- All those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their
necessities.
- 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 death.
- All who recite the Rosary are my sons and brothers of my only Son,
Jesus Christ.
- Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
