Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are all my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. 15. Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination. "This is the most precious treasure of the Vatican," once exclaimed the saintly Pius IX, showing to a band of pilgrims his beloved rosary. It is likewise your treasure, Christian soul. You possess nothing more beautiful, nothing more excellent: nothing more beautiful, for the Rosary is the model and ideal of prayers, at once a prayer of praise, of thanksgiving and of petition; nothing more excellent, for the Blessed Virgin herself gave us this devotion, the practice of which has converted hundreds of thousands of heretics and millions of sinners, and has strengthened faith and love in the hearts of countless Christians. The Rosary is the barometer, as it were, of Christianity. Wherever the Rosary devotion is cherished, the Catholic Faith is still in its vigor and reigns in the hearts and lives of Christians. On the other hand, wherever the Rosary is neglected or contemptuously cast aside, there the Catholic Faith has dropped to the freezing point, there pride and false education guide the heart. One who prays the Rosary cannot forget the mysteries of Redemption, for the Rosary prayers are not only a rule of faith, but they contain a summary of Catholic doctrine as well, and embrace all that a Christian should believe, hope for, love and practice. The Rosary is a perfect catechism. It teaches Christian truths exactly and completely, and illustrates them beautifully. Truly, we may say that the Rosary contains an infallible means for obtaining heaven.
