The great St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort, within the pages of this marvelous devotional, explains that through each well-prayed Rosary, the Mother truly unites her most beautiful and all-powerful voice to ours, making of our prayer a truly pleasing and fragrant offering unto each of the persons of the Most Holy Trinity. In it, the Father rejoices in receiving sublime consolation from His creation through the Immaculate Heart of the Mother of His Son; the Son eagerly presses to His Most Sacred Heart all hearts that have been entrusted and offered to Him by His Most Holy Mother; the Spirit, or the Divine Advocate, is irresistibly drawn to each soul in whom His well-beloved spouse, the created Advocate – Mary – has made her dwelling. Finally, it goes without saying that our Spiritual Mother leaps with joy each and every time she is greeted, by one of her many beloved children, in the same manner that she was greeted by St. Gabriel, who, in announcing to her the exalted vocation to which she had been called by God, greeted her with that sweet “Ave.” Thus, after the supremely perfect glory and honor offered to God in the Liturgical celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it would not be an exaggeration to state that the Holy Trinity receives its greatest adoration, glorification, gratitude, supplication and expiation from those individuals who, through, with and in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the masterpiece of God’s creation and the treasury of God’s greatest graces, allow themselves to be transformed ever more perfectly into Christ’s image and likeness through their meditation on the Salvific mysteries of Christ’s life, death and resurrection, as they repeat the words of the Angelic Salutation. The Rosary involves both meditative and vocal prayer, and quite often leads one into a passive state of contemplation, whereby the soul ceases to be active and rather rests in the peace, love and presence of God Himself. We must understand the distinction between meditation and contemplation. The former involves activity on our part; that is, as we meditate on any of the 20 mysteries of the Rosary, we simultaneously pray out loud to Our Lady, rendering unto her the praise and veneration that is Her due, and asking her to exercise her maternal mediation on our behalf. Contemplative prayer, on the other hand, is a free gift bestowed upon an individual who is properly disposed to receive this gift. We prepare ourselves precisely by performing the activities of both vocal and meditative prayer. Contemplation can be defined as the passive, phenomenological experience of the soul resting in the presence of God. Moreover, it should be noted that we do not pray in order to receive this free gift of contemplative prayer; God may or may not choose to impart this gift upon a soul, knowing, in His perfect Wisdom, precisely what each individual soul needs at any given time. Rather, we, having committed ourselves to the Blessed Virgin, have promised to stay united to her Most Immaculate Heart, and this is accomplished through, with and in the recitation of her prayer, the Most Holy Rosary, and active meditation on the sacred mysteries of our salvation.

I cannot believe what I have learned about the history of the rosary and it's profound holiness by reading this book on my Kindle. It really explains with great clarity how the rosary provides the powerful prayer that blesses our Mother, the Virgin Mary, and her adorable Son, Jesus, with crowns of roses. It also tells of great visions that involve saints, described in vivid detail. The rosary has such great power and protection for us all. Please read this book. It will change your life!
This is one of the all-time classic books on the spiritual life. It deals with the most holy rosary. There are many stories of the power of the rosary contained in this book. And also some means and methods of praying the rosary to help avoid distractions. There is a great encouragement to belong to the confraternity of the rosary which also brings special graces. For the last 800 years it has been requested by Heaven to pray the rosary. This book will give to any reader the great encouragement to pray a daily rosary.
The Holy Rosary is the favorite prayer of St. John Paul II and at Fatima and other apparitions like Lourdes, France , Mother Maryasked every one to pray the Holy Rosary every day. The meditations that one does bear much fruit if done in humility and love.This book is a compilation of different thoughts and stories that are helpful if one has an open heart. Thank you.
This is a most read for anyone who wants to progress in the spiritual life. I totally enjoyed it. I will read it a second time to truly absorb it's message.
After reading this book if you don`t start praying the rosary you are a fool. You can not possibly read it without being touched by it. I will always hold the rosary and the Blessed Mother dear to my heart.
I have never encountered a book that provides real life examples and the true secret behind the rosary. I did not know how to pray the Rosary correctly. Now, I will practice, with God's help, what Saint Louis Montfort states.
The book of course is great, but I was thrown off by this edition's references to things in 1918 or after the saint's death! I would have preferred an untouched work, or that at least I would have known this in advance.
I really enjoyed this book. It was both informative and easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone who isn't familiar with the Rosary as well as those who may not know the history.
