Rosary Sunday

"St. Dominic knew well that, while on the one hand Mary is all powerful with Her divine Son, who grants all graces to mankind through Her, on the other hand, She is by nature so good and so merciful that, inclined to aid spontaneously those who suffer, She is absolutely incapable of refusing Her help to those who invoke Her. The Church is in the habit of greeting the Virgin as 'Mother of Grace' and 'Mother of Mercy,' and so She has always shown Herself, especially when we have recourse to Her by means of the Holy Rosary." -Pope Benedict XV

"The Rosary is a priceless treasure inspired by God." by St. Louis De Monfort
"Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today." by St. Padre Pio

"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

"Would you like me to tell you a 'secret'? It is simple, and after all, is no secret: 'Pray, pray much. Say the Rosary everyday.'" -Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul I

Today is the 31st anniversary of the calling home of Pope John Paul I. Let us all remember him in our prayers!

Before his short reign, as Albino Cardinal Luciani he beautifilly defended the Rosary in a 1973 homily on the topic:

The Rosary is an impoverished prayer? What then would be a 'rich prayer'? The Rosary is a procession of Paters, the prayer taught by Jesus; of Aves, the salutation of God to the Virgin by means of the Angel; of Glorias, the praise of the Most Holy Trinity.

Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
