The 15 promises of the Holy Rosary

Pause with the promise that speaks to your heart today, and let it lead you into prayer.

01Signal graces

Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.

02Mary’s special protection

I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

03Strength against sin

The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

04A heart set on eternal things

The Rosary will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire for eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

05A soul entrusted to Mary

The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

06Perseverance through trials

Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.

07The grace of the sacraments

Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

08Light in life and at death

Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenititude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.

09Prayer for the faithful departed

I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10The hope of Heaven

The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

11Confidence in prayer

You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12Help in sharing the Rosary

All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13The companionship of Heaven

I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.

14A family united in Christ

All who recite the Rosary are my sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters of my only Son Jesus Christ.

15A sign of hope

Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
