Countering the "Globalization of Indifference" with the Hail Mary and the Holy Rosary
"THE ROSARY is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact
the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of
the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more
satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged,
whose eyes close upon the shadow of this world, and open on the
substance of the next. The power of the Rosary is beyond description."
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
"THE ROSARY is the best therapy for these distraught, unhappy, fearful and
frustrated souls, precisely because it involves the simultaneous use of
three powers: the physical, the vocal and the spiritual."
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
"The devils have an overwhelming fear of THE ROSARY.
The Angelic Salutation puts them to flight and
makes all Hell tremble."
Saint Bernard

The Secret of the Rosary by Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort
Blessed Alan de la Roche, who was so deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin, had many revelations from her, and we know that he confirmed the truth of these revelations by a solemn oath. Three of them stand out with special emphasis: the first, that if people fail to say the Hail Mary, which has saved the world; out of carelessness, or because they are lukewarm, or because they hate it, this is an indication that they will probably be condemned to eternal punishment.
All the heretics, who are children of the devil and clearly bear the sign of Gods reprobation, have a horror of the Hail Mary. They still say the Our Father but never the Hail Mary; they would rather wear a poisonous snake around their necks than wear a scapular or carry a rosary.
Among Catholics those who bear the mark of Gods reprobation think but little of the Rosary (whether that of five decades of fifteen). They either fail to say it or only say it very quickly and in a lukewarm manner.
Even if I did not believe that which has been revealed to
Blessed Alan de la Roche, even then my own experience would
be enough to convince me of this terrible but consoling truth.
I do not know, nor do I see clearly, how it can be that a
devotion which seems to be so small can be the infallible
sign of eternal salvation and how its absence can be the
sign of Gods eternal displeasure; nevertheless, nothing
could possibly be more true.
In our own day we see that people who hold new doctrines that have been condemned by Holy Mother Church may have quite a bit of surface piety, but they scorn the Rosary, and often dissuade their acquaintances from saying it, by destroying their love of it and their faith in it. In doing this they make elaborate excuses which are plausible in the eyes of the world. They are very careful not to condemn the Rosary and the Scapular as the Calvinists do----but the way they set about attacking them is all the more deadly because it is the more cunning....
My Hail Mary, my Rosary of fifteen or of five decades,
is the prayer and the infallible touchstone by which I
can tell those who are led by the Spirit of God from
those who are deceived by the devil. I have known souls
who seemed to soar like eagles to the heights by their
sublime contemplation and who yet were pitifully led
astray by the devil. I only found out how wrong they
were when I learned that they scorned the Hail Mary a
nd the Rosary which they considered as being far
beneath them.
The Hail Mary is a blessed dew that falls from Heaven
upon the souls of the predestinate. It gives them a
marvelous spiritual fertility so that they can grow
in all virtues. The more the garden of the soul is
watered by this prayer the more enlightened ones
intellect becomes, the more zealous his heart, and
the stronger his armor against his spiritual enemies.
The Hail Mary is a sharp and flaming shaft which, joined to the Word of God, gives the preacher the strength to pierce, move and convert the most hardened hearts even if he has little or no natural gift for preaching.

As I have already said, this was the great secret that
Our Lady taught Saint Dominic and Blessed Alan so that
they might convert heretics and sinners.
Saint Antoninus tells us that this is why many priests got into the habit of saying a Hail Mary at the beginning of their sermons.

One end of it is in our hands and the other is in the hands of the Holy Virgin Mary ...
The Rosary prayer rises like incense to the feet of the Almighty.
Mary responds at once like a beneficial dew, bringing new life to human hearts."

Pope warns of the Globalization of Indifference in Lenten message
January 27, 2015 - Vatican Radio
As individuals too, we are tempted by indifference. Flooded with news reports and troubling images of human suffering, we often feel our complete inability to help. What can we do to avoid being caught up in this spiral of distress and powerlessness? First, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in Heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!
