Any Catholics out there to help me with this "Rosary" question?

Has anyone have more details on this for me?

there are many Rosary promises. Usually the promises are given to those who pray the Rosary daily but, no amount of promises will make up for a lifestyle of sin. One fervent Rosary said with complete submission to the will of God with the grace provided by The Blessed Virgin Mary is worth many said without devotion. There was a great Saint who saw the judgment of a particular woman where The scales were heavier on the sin side then on the good. The demons were about to take her with the Lord giving permission when the Blessed Mother stepped forward and said, "She has prayed this Rosary" and put the Rosary in the scales on the good side and it weighted the scales so much more on the good that the demon vanished with screams.

As far as your question goes I do not know of which devotion you speak as like I said usually it is more than saying a Rosary one day a week but, try to find a book by St. Louis Marie DeMontfort called "The Glories of Mary" it would probably have it in there somewhere or there is a little blue book called The Pieta, it might have it in there too

The rosary is not from the Bible. Says The Catholic Encyclopedia: “In almost all countries, then, we meet with something in the nature of prayer-counters or rosary-beads.” Rosaries were used in ancient Nineveh and are being used by Moslems and Buddhists. In fact, Catholic missionaries, upon their first visiting India, Japan and Mexico, have repeatedly been surprised to find the rosary being used by the people in those lands.

The repeating of fifty-three Hail Marys every time the rosary is recited flies in the face of Jesus’ express condemnation of saying the “same things over and over again.” Its widespread use outside of professedly Christian lands argues that its origin is pagan. And the same must also be said regarding its associated features, the exaltation of Mary, the offering of indulgences for saying the rosary, the crediting of victories to it and its claimed power to decrease purgatorial suffering. None of these find any support in the Scriptures, but they do find parallels in pagan religions.

In view of all these facts, can the rosary be said to be Christian? It cannot!

The rosary is one of MANY useless sacraments/rituals Catholics think help them get saved.

Ephesians 2:8,9 (in a nutshell)... ' Salvation is a GIFT from God. Why are they trying to EARN a gift? It can't be done. God wants us to accept the free gift of salvation and THEN do good works to show the world Christ is in us. Catholics have it backwards

Answer 4

The Church has always offered special prayers such as triduums (3 days of prayer) and novenas (9 days of prayer). The rosary could be prayed that way. However, there are no guarantees of answers to prayer. When we pray, regardless of the format we use, our attitude should always be that of Jesus Himself, "not my will, but yours be done". There are some pious devotions which have grown up as a result of private revelation, such as apparitions, over the years, and some people do overemphasize such devotional traditions. But the Church itself is extremely careful about recognizing any private revelation, and even when it does so, it does not require that anyone believe anything that came through such revelation.
