I recently finished reading The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis de Montfort. In short, I think this is a terrific book that anyone who regularly prays the rosary should read and share with others. First, who was Saint Louis de Montfort? The wikipedia summary is: Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (31 January 1673 – […]

Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. My 2 year old son is at an age where he wants to act like a grownup. One example is that he often refuses to drink out of a sealed “sippy” cup and wants just a plain glass. Not only that, he doesn’t want anyone

Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. I think about one of the companies I worked for which had a very intense, deadline-driven atmosphere.

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 those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. Remember when I said in my previous post about Mary’s rosary promises seeming like a spiritual infomercial? Well, I take that back. This promise proves that the rosary is more like an affiliate marketing campaign. In affiliate marketing, someone gets

Mardi Gras has come and gone. I hope you devoured those sumptuous desserts and succulent calories because now we forgo worldly gluttony for a spiritual one. For the next 40 days we take time out from filling our mind and soul with food, drink, TV, internet, magazines, and other activities that usually leave no room

It’s that time of year again. Flowers start to grow, the grass turns green, trees get their leaves back, and we get ashes on our forehead. Yep, that’s right, on March 5th we kick off Lent with Ash Wednesday. I read a great article in the Catholic San Francisco about how to prepare for Easter

The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of Glory in Heaven. “But wait! There’s more!” If Mary’s rosary promises were an infomercial for rosary prayer and meditation, we are now entering all the bonus items. Commercials for cookware may say, “act now and get two of our deluxe frying pans plus
