The Holy Rosary is one of the most precious prayers we have as Catholics. It is also one of the most recognizable Catholic devotions. Better still it is one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal for spiritual warfare and one of the greatest aids in our pursuit of a fruitful spiritual life. It’s sad that many Catholics lose sight of these facts. Thus we’re also losing the tradition of saying the rosary as often as possible. Many have even forgotten how to say the rosary, to devil’s delight since he knows the potent and efficacious effects of the prayer.

Here are 15 reasons to say the rosary daily or at least as often as you can. These are not just mere reasons but promises from Our Blessed Mother to all who would recite the prayer daily. These aren’t insignificant promises, but rather enormously helpful graces provided to those who are trying to live a good and faithful Catholic life:

1. To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.
   
2. Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive signal graces.
   
3. The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against Hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin, and dispel heresy.
   
4. The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
   
5. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.
   
6. Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly, reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life.
   
7. Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
   
8. Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed.
   
9. I will deliver promptly from Purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.
   
10. True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in Heaven.
    
11. What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.
    
12. To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.
    
13. I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their intercessors, in life and in death, the entire celestial court.
    
14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.
    
15. Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination.
