The Secret of the Rosary

People are often quite unaware of how rich the Rosary is in indulgences. This is because
many priests, when preaching on the Rosary, hardly ever mention indulgences and give rather a
flowery and popular sermon which excites admiration but scarcely teaches anything.
Be that as it may I shall say no more than to assure you, in
the words of Blessed Alan de la Roche, that the Holy Rosary is the root and the storehouse of
countless blessings. For through the Holy Rosary:

1. Sinners are forgiven;
2. Souls that thirst are refreshed;
3. Those who are fettered have their bonds broken;
4.  Those who weep find happiness;
S. Those who are tempted find peace;
6. The poor find help;
7. Religious are reformed;
8. Those who are ignorant are instructed;
9. The living learn to overcome pride;
10. The dead (the Holy Souls) have their pains eased by
suffrages.

One day Our Lady said to Blessed Alan:

I want people who have a devotion to my Rosary to have my Son's grace and blessing during their
lifetime and at their death, and after their death I want them to be freed from all slavery so that
they will be like kings wearing crowns and with scepters in their hands and enjoying eternal
glory."
Amen. So be it.
