Recitation Of The Rosary Is Necessary For Salvation

    Noe had to be devoted for 100 years to the building of the ark and step on to the ark, in order to be saved.  The children of Israel under Moses had to be devoted to the ark of the old testament, marching behind the ark.  The ark was the power and protection of the children of Israel.  Moses always ran to the ark, to intercede for the children of Israel, getting them out of trouble with God.  And so, in the new testament, Catholics need to be devoted to the Ark of the new testament.   The New, is in the Old, concealed and the Old, is in the New, revealed.

    Mary, is the living Ark of the New testament.  

    Apocalypse 11:19, 12:1-2 And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail. And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. 

    Our Lady, as refuge of sinners, protects us from the wrath of God, which we deserve.  She intercedes on our behalf.  She prepares our body and soul for God, in the same way that Rebecca told Jacob to get two kids, to prepare for Isaac, so that Jacob would receive the blessing from Isaac instead of Esau.  Rebecca was even willing to take the curse of Isaac, unto herself, if her plan was exposed to Isaac.  Esther does the same thing for the sake of the children of Israel, she stood before the king, unannounced, to intercede for her people.   Jesus cannot deny His mother.  Because God took flesh from Mary, truly, Mary has hereditary rights to the Kingdom of Heaven, as Queen. 

    Esther 7:2  And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.

     Mary is the Vessel that contains Divine Grace, God Himself.  Grace only comes through the hands of Mary, therefore devotion to the Immaculate heart of Mary and the recitation of the Rosary is mandatory. 

    Prophecy of Jeremias 31:22 ... for the Lord hath created a new thing upon the earth: A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN.

    Luke 1:28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

    Our Lady and the Rosary was always necessary but she told Sister Lucia of Fatima about new efficacy and importance of the Rosary in the last times that we live in.

    One of the three visionaries of Fatima, Sr. Lucia, told Fr. Fuentes in 1957:
    Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world but she made me understand this for three reasons. 
    The first reason is because she told me that the Devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin.  And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat.  Hence from now on we must choose sides.  Either we are for God or we are for the Devil.  There is no other possibility.

    The second reason
     is because she said to my cousins as well as to myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world.  These are the Holy Rosary and Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others.
    


    The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence, God always, before He is about to chastise the world, exhausts all other remedies.  Now, when He sees that the world pays no attention whatsoever then, as we say in our imperfect manner of speaking, He offers us with a certain trepidation the last means of salvation, His Most Holy Mother.  It is with a certain trepidation because if you despise and repulse this ultimate means we will not have any more forgiveness from Heaven because we will have committed a sin which the Gospel calls the sin against the Holy Spirit.  This sin consists of openly rejecting with full knowledge and consent, the salvation which He offers.  Let us remember that Jesus Christ is a very good Son and that He does not permit that we offend and despise His Most Holy Mother.  We have recorded through many centuries of Church history the obvious testimony which demonstrates, by the terrible chastisements which have befallen those who have attacked the honor of His Most Holy Mother, how Our Lord Jesus Christ has always defended the honor of His Mother.”  Footnote: Sr. Lucy’s interview with Fr. Fuentes, quoted in The Whole Truth About Fatima by Frere Michel de la Sainte Trinite, Buffalo, NY: Immaculate Heart Publications, Vol. 3, p. 503 ff.

    **It is imperative to understand that Grace, Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Instruction, and Counsel comes from the Holy Ghost but only through the hands of Mary.

    John 14:26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you."

    St. Louis De Montfort: “When the Holy Ghost, her Spouse, has found Mary in a soul, He flies there. He enters there in His fullness; He communicates Himself to that soul abundantly, and to the full extent to which it makes room for His Spouse. Nay, one of the great reasons why the Holy Ghost does not now do startling wonders in our souls is because He does not find there a sufficiently great union with His faithful and inseparable Spouse.” (True Devotion to Mary, # 36)

    The book of Ecclesiasticus confirms that the grace of wisdom and all graces, passes through the hands of Mary, as a Mother and speaks about the chain, fetters, bands of the Rosary, especially in the latter end.  As Jesus came through Mary, the Holy Ghost operates the same way.  

    Ecclesiasticus 4:11-13, 21  And thou shalt be as the obedient son of the [Holy Ghost] most High, and he will have mercy on thee more than a mother. [12] Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice.  [13] And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness. … [21] And will disclose her secrets to him, and will heap upon him treasures of knowledge and understanding of justice

    "Hail Holy Queen, Mother of MercyOur lifeOur Sweetness, Our Hope …" 


    Ecclesiasticus 6:18-20, 23-34   [18] My son, from thy youth up receive instruction, and even to thy grey hairs thou shalt find wisdom. [19] Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: [20] For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits. … [23] For the wisdom of doctrine is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many, but with them to whom she is known, she continueth even to the sight of God. [24] Give ear, my son, and take wise counsel, and cast not away my advice. [25] Put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chains:[26] Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bands. [27] Come to her with all thy mind, and keep her ways with all thy power. [28] Search for her, and she shall be made known to thee, and when thou hast gotten her, let her not go: [29] For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her, and she shall be turned to thy joy. [30] Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and a firm foundation, and her chain a robe of glory:[31] For in her is the beauty of life, and her bands are a healthful binding. [32] Thou shalt put her on as a robe of glory, and thou shalt set her upon thee as a crown of joy. [33] My son, if thou wilt attend to me, thou shalt learn: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be wise. [34] If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction: and if thou love to hear, thou shalt be wise.

    Regarding the Holy Rosary, Sister Lucia told Father Fuentes in the famous 1957 interview:

    Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Holy RosaryShe has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary, we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.”

    Concerning the Rosary, in the latter times, the book of Ecclesiasticus confirms, the power of the Rosary as a weapon.

    Ecclesiasticus 6:29-30 For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her [Mary], and she shall be turned to thy joy. [30] Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and a firm foundation, and her chain a robe of glory:  [the Rosary]

    The firm foundation:  Incarnation, Visitation; sanctification of John the baptist in Elizabeth's womb, Nativity, Presentation, Finding in the temple, Agony in the garden, Scourging at the pillar, Crowning with thorns, Carrying of the Holy Cross, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, Descent of the Holy Ghost [Pentecost], Assumption, Coronation of Mary.


    Padre Pio regarding the Rosary.
    "Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother."

    The fathers of the church and saints have concluded the same thing, that the Rosary is necessary for salvation.

    St. Louis De Montfort: “… many others have proved invincibly, from the sentiments of the Fathers (among others, St. Augustine, St. Ephrem, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, St. Germanus, St. John Damascene, St. Anselm, St. Bernard, St. Bernardine, St. Thomas and St. Bonaventure), that devotion to Mary is necessary to salvation, and that… it is an infallible mark of reprobation to have no esteem and love for the holy Virgin.” (True Devotion to Mary # 40)

    St. Louis De Montfort: “If devotion to the most holy Virgin Mary is necessary to all men simply for working out their salvation, it is still more so for those who are called to any special perfection…” (True Devotion to Mary #43)

    St. Louis De Montfort (+1710): “Blessed Alan de la Roche who was so deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin had many revelations from her and we know that he confirmed the truth of these revelations by a solemn oath.  Three of them stand out with special emphasis: the first, that if people fail to say the Hail Mary (the Angelic Salutation which has saved the world) out of carelessness, or because they are lukewarm, or because they hate it, this is a sign that they will probably and indeed shortly be condemned to eternal punishment.” (Secret of the Rosary, p. 45)

    Even St. Paul alludes to the Rosary, to be inspired by the Holy Ghost, to speak as he ought to and that it is a weapon against the devil, read ch. 6, starting at verse 11.  

    Ephesians 6:20  For which I am an ambassador in a chainso that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.  [John 14:26]

    I highly recommend that everyone read the Book "Secret of the Rosary".  There are so many secrets regarding Our Lady and the Rosary.


    www.olmc-mission.org/secret_of_the_rosary.pdf

    Ecclesiasticus 4:21 And will disclose her secrets to him, and will heap upon him treasures of knowledge and understanding of justice.

    But few care about Our Lady and the Rosary, to their own destruction.  This is whyfew are saved.  All People truly need to seriously consider that Mary is necessary for salvation.  

    Without grace, all men are dead!

    Ecclesiasticus 20:21  A man without grace is as a vain fable, it shall be continually in the mouth of the unwise.

    Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.

    1 Corinthians 1:7  So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Mary, is the Vessel of Grace, for which all graces pass through the hands of Mary.  Mary, is the Gate of Heaven, by which all men must pass through.  The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, tells us so!

    Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    … Mother of divine grace, pray for us. …  Virgin most merciful, pray for us. …  Seat of wisdom, pray for us. …  Spiritual vessel, pray for us.    
    Vessel of honor, pray for us.   Singular vessel of devotion, pray for us. … Tower of David, pray for us.  Tower of ivory, pray for us. House of gold, pray for us.  Ark of the Covenant, pray for us.  Gate of Heaven, pray for us. ...

    Solomon's Temple was not only a prefigurement of the Catholic church but also a prefigurement of Mary i.e. Tower of David, Tower of Ivory, House of Gold, the Gate of Heaven.  The old testament reveals this clearly.  There are so many secrets about Mary in the old testament.  

    3 Kings [1 Kings] 10:18  King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest gold.

    3 Kings [1 Kings] 6:21-22 And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold. [22] And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold:

    Has anyone every wondered why Mary, appeared to the children of Fatima on the 13th day of the month, for six months in 1917?  The number 13 signified that Mary is the Gate of Heaven.  There is a description of Solomon's Temple and the gate of Solomon's Temple, that is rebuilt, after the destruction that was made by King Nebuchadnezzar.  Ezekiel describes his vision of the rebuilding of the gate and the Temple.  Ezekiel was one of the men taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar.

    Prophecy of Ezekiel 40:6,11 And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, … and the length of the gate thirteen cubits:  [Mary, the gate of Heaven]

    The door [gate] of a Catholic church should always face the east!  

    Prophecy of Ezekiel 43:1-2  And he brought me to the gate that looked towards the east. And behold the glory of the God of Israel came in by the way of the east:

    It signifies a few things, [1] the rising of the Sun [Son] from the east upon the gate, [2] Mary and her perpetual virginity, that only God passes into the Gate [3] and the door of the Catholic church and the Catholic church itself.  It also signifies that only members receive the sacraments, the door is shut to those who are "Outside the Catholic Church", until they are washed, through the laver of regeneration.

    Ezekiel 44:1-3 And he brought me back to the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, which looked towards the eastand it was shut.  And the Lord said to me: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall pass through itbecause the Lord the God of Israel hath entered in by it, and it shall be shut For the prince

    Luke 1:31-32,35  Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; … And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

    Canticles 4:12 …, my spouse, is a garden enclosed, a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed up.

    Prophecy of Jeremias 31:22 ... for the Lord hath created a new thing upon the earthA WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN.

    And so it is, Mary is truly the gate of Heaven!  She compasses all of her children under her mantle.  All men must pass through this gate.  But the many do not!

    Ecclesiasticus 6:21-23  How very unpleasant is wisdom to the unlearned, and the unwise will not continue with her.  She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long.  For the wisdom of doctrine is according to her nameand she is not manifest unto many,… 

    Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereatHow narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it

    St. Louis De Montfort: “As there are secrets of nature by which natural operations are performed more easily, in a short time and at little cost; so are there secrets in the order of grace by which supernatural operations, such as ridding ourselves of self, filling ourselves with God, and becoming perfect, are performed more easily. The practice which I am about to disclose [of true devotion to Mary] is one of these secrets, unknown to the greater number of Christians, known even to few of the devout, and practiced and relished by a lesser number still.”

    St. Louis De Montfort (+1710): “Blessed Alan de la Roche who was so deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin had many revelations from her and we know that he confirmed the truth of these revelations by a solemn oath. Three of them stand out with special emphasis: the first, that if people fail to say the Hail Mary (the Angelic Salutation which has saved the world) out of carelessness, or because they are lukewarm, or because they hate it, this is a sign that they will probably and indeed shortly be condemned to eternal punishment.”

    All men throughout the day should say "Hail Mary's" and the Rosary, sincerely, everyday.  Truly, you will be amazed how your eyes will be opened, regarding the grace of knowledge and understanding!  

    She brings all men into the true church.

    But also, all men must get out the counterfeit catholic church, the vatican II sect.

  • When Jesus stated that His yoke is sweet and His burden is light, He was speaking of Mary.  Those with the eyes of Faith will understand this.

    Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.  Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.  For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

    Ecclesiasticus 6:19-20 Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits.  

    Ecclesiasticus 4:13  And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness

    Although it seemed that Mary was very quiet in scripture, but in reality, Mary is all over the bible from beginning unto the end.

    Very true.

    Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me."
    [John 14:6]

    In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue."
    [Ecclesiasticus 24:25]
    "But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men." - Acts 5:29

    The Highest Principle in the Church: "We are first of all under obedience to God, and only then under obedience to man" - Fr. Hesse

  • I truly recommend the book called "The Wondrous Childhood of the Most Holy Mother of God" by St. John Eudes.  He was a Catholic priest from France, ordained on Dec. 20, 1625.  He was the author of the proper for the Mass and Divine Office of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin.  The Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the same heart as Mary.   He lived during the time of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who told King Louis XIV to consecrate France to His Sacred Heart but he didn't do it until it was too late, with the French Revolution.

    The book is about the incalculable graces and merits of Mary, from the moment of her Immaculate Conception.  Her graces doubled from moment to moment.  It also speaks about how Mary, at the age of three, went to the Temple and stayed there.  This true event can be seen in the old testament with baby Samuel.  His mother's name was Anna, and she was barren for a long time, just like St. Anne, Mary's mother.  She asked God and promised if she could have a son, that she promised that she would dedicate [give] her son to God and the Temple at the age of three.

    1 Kings [1 Samuel] 1:2, 11, 20, 24, 26-28  And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children.  … And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head. …   And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord. … And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young: … And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman who stood before thee here praying to the Lord.  For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him.  Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord

    For myself, I wish I was brought up learning and saying the Rosary, at the age of three.  How very different my life would have been!  Please read this book, if you love Mary, you will not be disappointed!

  • Is there a copy online of the Wondrous Childhood of the Most Holy Mother of God?  I haven't been able to find one.
