The Rosary - Promise of Signal Graces

Remember - there is no such thing as a coincidence, everything happens for a reason! By praying the rosary you will be more conscious of the way that God tries to help you and speak to you every day.
    The Fifteen Promises of Mary to those who pray the Rosary

God has given us such a precious gift in Our Blessed Mother and the most holy Rosary!  Next to the holy sacrifice of the Mass and Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary is the most powerful prayer that exists on this earth.  The church even grants a plenary indulgence to those who pray the Rosary in the presence of the Eucharist.  Following are the 15 promises Our Lady has made to those who pray her Rosary.

1. To all those who pray the Rosary devoutly, she promises her special protection and very great graces.

2. Those who persevere in the praying of the Rosary will receive some signal grace.

3. The Rosary will be very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin, and dispel heresy.

4. The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies; it will substitute in hearts love of God for love of the world, and elevate them to desire heavenly and eternal good.  O, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means!

5. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.

6. Those who pray my Rosary piously, meditating on these mysteries, will not be overwhelmed by misfortune, nor die a bad death.  The sinner will be converted; the just will grow in grace and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Those truly devoted to my Rosary will not die without the consolations of the church, or without grace.

8. Those who shall recite my Rosary will find during their life and at their death the light of God, the fullness of his grace, and will share in the merits of the blessed.

9. I will deliver very promptly from Purgatory the souls devoted to my Rosary.

10. The true children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.

11. What you ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.

12. Those who propagate my Rosary will obtain through me aid in all their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Son that all confreres of the Rosary shall have their brethren in life and death the saints in heaven.

14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are all my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

    "Your rosary is a stairway, and you climb it together, step by step, towards an encounter with the Blessed Virgin--which means an encounter with Jesus" (Pope Paul VI).

"These mysteries--which present themselves as scenes, pictures and stories, one after another--lead you to an intellectual vision of the facts of the life of Jesus and Mary recorded in the mysteries, and to an understanding of the most sublime truths of our religion; the Incarnation of the Lord, the Redemption, and the Christian life, present and future"
(Pope Paul VI).

What is a Signal Grace?
Signal Graces are signs sent by God to help us make the right decisions in life. Moses saw a burning bush as a sign from God, and other people received signs from God daily. Signal graces usually come about as subtle hints to help keep us moving in the right direction - these signs are truly gifts from God.


Signal graces are the unique graces promised to us by the Bl. Mother when we faithfully recite the Rosary.  They are the “signs” given to us after we’ve prayed for something; signs that indicate that our prayer was heard.  The word “signal” in this case refers to special, beyond the ordinary.  These graces are different than what God already gives us on a daily basis.
