A Treasured Guide !!

To Heaven's Most Loved Prayer

"The Secret of the Rosary"


As a devout Catholic, always seeking to deepen my Marian devotion, I found St. Louis de Montfort's "The Secret of the Rosary" to be nothing short of a spiritual revelation. I have enjoyed, shared, and given away countless hundreds of copies of this most blessed book through the years. This 18th-century classic offers profound insights that speak directly to 21st-century hearts yearning for authentic connection with Our Blessed Mother.

A Spiritual Treasury

St. Louis De Montfort's passionate conviction that the Rosary is among Heaven's most powerful spiritual weapons resonates throughout this work. He presents this devotion not merely as a series of repetitive prayers but as a profound meditation on the life of Christ through Mary's eyes. Trust me when I say, soon it will be your favorite as well.

What distinguishes this work is how de Montfort balances theological depth with practical guidance. His use of "roses" to structure this blessed book - dividing it into decades like the Rosary itself - creates a beautiful symmetry between form and content.

Living the Rosary

The saint's personal testimonies and stories of miraculous interventions through the Rosary inspire the reader. His emphasis on proper disposition when praying remains particularly relevant today when we often rush through devotions without true contemplation.

I was especially moved by de Montfort's explanation of how the Rosary serves as a shield against temptation and a pathway to virtue. His assertion that the Rosary is "the surest way to know Christ" reflects the Catholic understanding that Mary always leads us to her Son.

Timeless Relevance

Despite being written centuries ago, the guidance remains remarkably applicable. In our age of distraction, St. Louis de Montfort's emphasis on reverence, consistency, and contemplation offers a corrective to superficial spirituality.

For Catholics wondering why they should maintain this traditional devotion, de Montfort's explanations of the Rosary's fifteen promises provide compelling motivation. His writing honors both the intellectual and mystical dimensions of our faith.

"The Secret of the Rosary" stands as an indispensable guide for Catholics seeking to honor Our Lady through this venerable prayer. St. Louis de Montfort's profound love for the Blessed Mother illuminates every page, making this work not just informative but transformative.

For those seeking to deepen their Marian devotion or understand why generations of saints have treasured this prayer, this spiritual classic offers both inspiration and practical wisdom that will bear fruit in one's spiritual life for years to come.

Excerpts from the Book !!!

“No matter how many they may be we should go to God in all confidence and with true sorrow for our sins, saying “Our Father Who art in Heaven, forgive us our sins of thought and those of speech, forgive us our sins of commission and omission which make us infinitely guilty in the eyes of Thy Divine Justice.”
― Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

“Dear fellow-members, if you want to serve Jesus and Mary by saying the Rosary every day, you must be prepared for temptation: "If you aspire to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for temptation." Heretics, licentious people, the so-called respectable people of the world, persons of superficial piety, and false prophets, hand in glove with your fallen nature and all hell itself - all will wage terrible battles against you in an endeavour to make you give up this holy practice.”
― Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

“The greatest event in the whole history of the world was the Incarnation of the eternal Word by whom the world was redeemed and peace was restored between God and men.”
― Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

“Have you strayed from the path leading to heaven? Then call on Mary, for her name means "Star of the Sea, the North Star which guides the ships of our souls during the voyage of this life," and she will guide you to the harbor of eternal salvation.”
― St Louis De Monfort, The Secret Of The Rosary

An Invitation To Read My Story (1983) My Testimony and How Sharing The Rosary Has Become My Life's Focus My testimony begins with that life-changing weekend in 1983 when God intervened dramatically through the car accident on the Garden State Parkway (in New Jersey). What strikes me most in recalling it is the vivid detail of those "hands holding us in the air" during the violent rollover - a supernatural protection that I, as a self-proclaimed atheist at the time, couldn't explain away. Even in my initial resistance, crying out "Why did you save me???", there was already the seed of recognition that something beyond mere chance had occurred. The way God persistently pursued me through the next stage is remarkable. Through my mother's gentle invitation to the prayer meeting at St. Patrick's Church, I was led to a pivotal moment - standing in that center aisle with arms outstretched, mirroring Christ's posture on the cross. The physical sensation ...
