October, the Month of the Holy Rosary

In the early days the Holy Rosary was being looked up to, it is a sacred instrument and faithfully prayed by the faithful. But now it gets criticism from the young saying that it is passe, that we are in the modern world, that we should go with crowd.

What is happening now is so sad and frightening. People ridicule the Rosary, that it is boring because it is repetitive. People are so busy, it is an endless run for bigger things, neglecting the most important thing: preparation for the life after death. We are transients of earth, a very temporary stay in this place. Would we sacrifice an eternity of happiness in afterlife for our ever increase desire for more material things? We are looking probably at 120 years, the most, on earth.

Be enlightened by the messages of our Lord Jesus and Our Lady about the Rosary:

POWER

"Realize the power in your hand with the Rosary, for in your hands you hold the power of God. If you do not recognize the Rosary, can you expect to be recognized by My Son? How much can you expect? Why do you hide My Rosary? It was with a Mother's loving heart that I chose to give you these pearls of Heaven that you reject.
"Woe to all dedicated who seek to remove these from the little ones' hands, for their punishment will be metered in accordance to it!
"Why has sophisticated man cast aside these tokens of My love? Those who remain true to My Rosary will not be touched by the fires. Gather these treasures, My children, for the time will come that you will not find them on the counters of your stores." - Our Lady, October 6, 1970

GOLD
"With the extension of the Rosary, many shall now receive the power through the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, to bring health of body and health of spirit to each soul.
"You will find that your Rosary beads shall turn color again. The stems will become pure gold. So do not cast aside your Rosary, thinking falsely, as satan would whisper into your ear that they're not good anymore and must be thrown away. That you will understand, that every Rosary that has been blessed by the presence of the Mother of God, Jesus, and the Eternal Father in the Holy Ghost, know that these Rosaries are very powerful. So you will keep them with you always, for they will have the power for cure and for conversion - cure of the ailing body and conversion of the sickened soul." - Our Lady, June 18, 1984

DAILY
"The Rosary must be recited daily, and twice a day [30 decades], if possible. All others We leave to you to say for added graces. In your world of corruption and evil, My children, you cannot gather enough graces. For those that you will not need when you come over the veil to eternity will be given to those whom you love, or those who you have fought to save, and yet you felt unsuccessful." - Our Lady, September 14, 1985

AURA
"It is not a prayer of repetition without meaning, Our Rosary, My children. It is a prayer that as you pray you will be surrounded by an aura of peace and holiness. You will find yourself coming closer to the Eternal Father in spirit." - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

THE GREAT FOUNDATION
"Pray constantly your Rosary, your beads of prayer to Heaven. Remain unified in your family lives. The institution of your country--the great foundation is based on family life. Destroy the family and you destroy your country. The enemies--the enemy is already within your country. Watch and pray well, My children." - Our Lady, June 18, 1980 tldm
