The rosary is an exercise in piety that draws its motivating force from the liturgy and leads naturally back to it. Blessed Pope Pau VI

The rosary, that is my weapon.
St. Padre Pio

Fr. Calloway details many who had a devotion to the rosary. Excellent information. I can't thank Fr. Calloway enough for the detailed work he put into this book.

Fr. Calloway has given us a host of Champions of the Rosary including Blessed Pope Pius IX who said: Let the rosary, this simple, beautiful method of prayer enriched with many indulgences, be habitually recited in the evening in every household. These are my last words to you: the memorial I leave behind me.
Can you imagine the good that would come, the HEALING that would from praying the rosary daily.

A group of Jesuit priests survived the bombing at Hiroshima and they credit praying the rosary daily as Our Lady of Fatima requested. They were about a mile from the bomb site. They did not get radiation poisoning, either. What a testament to the power of praying the rosary on a daily basis.

At her burial a set of rosary beads was placed in the hands of Princess Diana, a gift she had received from Mother Teresa, who died the same week as Diana.

I learned that at Lourdes, Mary's Rosary had a 6th decade, as she encouraged praying an additional decade for those in Purgatory.

Very interesting history of the Battle of Lepanto. I had no idea that Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, had taken part in the battle.

Great info.
