Focusing Our Eyes on Christ


October 13

In a word, by focusing our eyes on Christ, the Rosary also makes us peacemakers in the world. By its nature as an insistent choral petition in harmony with Christ’s invitation to ‘pray ceaselessly’ (Lk. 18:1), the Rosary allows us to hope that, even today, the difficult ‘battle’ for peace can be won.

Immersing Oneself in Contemplation


October 12

To rediscover the Rosary means to immerse oneself in contemplation of the mystery of Christ who ‘is our peace.’”

Establishing the Kingdom of God


October 11

For myself, I know of no better way of establishing the kingdom of God, Eternal Wisdom, than to unite vocal and mental prayer by saying the holy Rosary and meditating on its fifteen mysteries.

Thinking about the Rosary


October 10

The reason why we get tired of saying the Rosary so much, is because we think about it so little.

The Greatest Drama of Love


October 9

“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.”

-Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Gaining Spiritual Altitude

October 6

Airplanes must have runways before they can fly. What the runway is to the airplane, the Rosary beads are to prayer – the physical start to gain spiritual altitude.

Intentional Prayer


October 4 

The second fault commonly committed in saying the Rosary is to have no intention other than that of getting it over with as quickly as possible.

Asking for Special Graces


October 3 

Take great care to avoid the two pitfalls that most people fall into during the Rosary. The first is the danger of not asking for any graces at all. So, whenever you say your Rosary, be sure to ask for some special grace or virtue, or strength to overcome some sin.” (See tomorrow’s Graceline for the second pitfall).

                                                                        -St. Louis de Montfort

Today’s Reflection:

What special grace or virtue will I ask to obtain when I say my Rosary today? Is there a sin I need the strength to overcome? What is it? I will tuck this intention into my prayer as well.

Finding Comfort in the Rosary


October 2 

From my youthful years this prayer has held an important place in my spiritual life. The Rosary has accompanied me in moments of joy and in moments of difficulty. To it I have entrusted any number of concerns: in it I have always found comfort.
