Padre Pio was always seen fingering his rosary beads and was known to be a great lover of the rosary. Here are five times he mentioned this devotion and the Queen to whom it is directed. In times of darkness, holding the rosary is like holding your blessed mother’s hand.
“Pray the rosary every day. Abandon yourself in the hands of Mary. She will take care of you.”
“Satan wants to destroy this prayer, but in this he will never succeed. The rosary is the prayer of those who triumph over everything and everyone. It was Our Lady who taught us this prayer, just as it was Jesus who taught us the Our Father.”
“The attention must be on the Hail Mary, and to the greetings which you give to the Virgin, and on the mysteries which you contemplate. She is present in all the mysteries, and she participated in everything with love and pain.”
“Mary has recommended the rosary at Lourdes and Fatima because of its exceptional value for us and our times.”
“Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today.”
Let us pray the Holy Rosary daily, not only because Padre Pio, many saints and popes have endorsed it, but because Our Lady herself asked us, on many occasions in particular, through the visionaries of Fatima.
