The 15 Promises of Mary to Those Who Faithfully Pray the Rosary

A tradition held by the Order of Preachers (also known as Dominicans) holds that through Saint Dominic and Alan de Rupe, the Blessed Virgin Mary made fifteen specific promises to Christians who faithfully pray the rosary. They range from protection from misfortune to meriting a high degree of glory in heaven.

The fifteen promises fall under the category of "private revelation", and as such are a pious tradition, which a person is free, but not obligated, to practice.

The fifteen promises:

1. Whoever faithfully serve me by the recitation of the rosary, will receive signal graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all who recite the rosary.

3. The rosary is a powerful armor against hell that destroys vice, decreases sin, and defeats heresies.

4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the heart 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. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the rosary will not perish.

6. Whoever recites the rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, will never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever has a true devotion for the rosary will not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary will have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they will participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.

9. I will deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the rosary.

10. The faithful children of the rosary will merit a high degree of glory in heaven.

11. You will obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the rosary.

12. All those who propagate the holy rosary will be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the rosary will have for 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 of my rosary is a great sign of predestination.
