Brother Knights,

If a man wants to truly change, effort alone is not enough-he needs grace.

We all know the pattern: we try, we fall, and we repeat. What actually transforms a man is not just trying harder, but receiving the grace to become better.

So the question becomes: where do we consistently receive that grace?

The answer is simple-the Rosary.

Through the Rosary, we place ourselves under the care of Our Lady and open ourselves to the steady reception of grace.

Our Lady gives 15 promises to those who faithfully pray it:

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

2. promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

4. The Rosary will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune.

7.  Whoever shall have a true devotion to the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude of His graces.

9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10.  The faithtul children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12.  All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13.  I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have, as intercessors, the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.

14.  All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15.  Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

So if we want to become stronger men -more disciplined, more faithful, more consistent-then we go where grace is, and we return to it daily.

Thank you,

Brother Ryan Birgeneau
