The Hail Mary - The Value of the Rosary

Father Gabriel Amorth, chief exorcist of the Vatican writes:

One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an
exorcism:
"Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew
how
powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end." The secret that
makes
this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and
meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin,
and
to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ.

I write in addition to the above: Please enunciate each word of
the
Rosary clearly and distinctly. Do not' trample on the heels' of
the words
of anyone
with your words. Do not speak over the leader, if you are
following, or the responders if you are leading the Rosary.
Remember that they also are having a conversation with Mary Our
Mother and it is not polite to speak when someone else is
speaking.
In the case of the public Rosary there are only two people
speaking, the Leader and the Responders. Each are speaking to
their Mother
and listening carefully to her
response within their hearts as they meditate on the scene before
them in
their
consideration of the mystery being spoken of and interpreted and
translated into their lives. Spread this powerful prayer of
exorcism, the
Rosary which contains the Our Father, the Perfect Prayer, prayed
five times in the recitation of each set of the Rosary's
Mysteries, backed
up by the
powerful prayers of Our Mother who prays with us as we pray 53
Hail Marys.
The Eternal Father described to a group of us, through a
Visionary Friend
of mine, what happens when we pray the Rosary, saying, "When you
pray
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now....., the
Blessed
Mother comes instantly to your side to pray with you. And she
does not come alone. She brings angels with her. And not just one
or two for she is the Queen of Angels, so choirs of angels come
with her.
And she and Jesus are joined at the heart and cannot be separated
so
she brings Jesus with her. And Jesus cannot be separated from the
Trinity
so He
Brings the Father and the Holy Spirit with Him. And where the
Holy Trinity
is all of creation is and you are surrounded by such beauty and
light as you cannot imagine in this life. Your Mother comes as
Our Lady of
Grace
with her hands out-stretched. Rays of light emit from her hands
piercing
your body, healing you and filling you with graces. This is your
inheritance
which was poured out from the heart of Jesus on the Cross, when
the
centurion pierced His Heart with the spear, into the only pure
vessel ready to receive such graces at that time, Your Mother.
Now as you
pray the Rosary,
or even just recite one Hail Mary, you receive your portion of
these
graces."
He also said at this time, "Anyone who goes to Marmora and prays
the Rosary cannot be touched by Satan." Is it any wonder that
anyone who prays the Rosary from the heart is so blessed and
protected and
powerful in their prayers for others?"


With Prayerful Wishes,
