The promises of the Madonna to those who recite the Rosary

La Our Lady of the Rosary it is a very important icon for the Catholic Church, and has been associated with many stories and legends. One of the most significant is that of Blessed Bartolo Longo, an Italian lawyer who converted to Catholicism and dedicated his life to promoting the Rosary as a form of prayer.

Blessed Bartolo Longo

Longo is said to have had a vision of Our Lady of the Rosary in 1876, during a pilgrimage to Pompeii. In this vision, Our Lady spoke to him and told him to dedicate her life to spreading the devotion to the Rosary, to bring help and comfort to those in difficulty. Bartolo Longo accepted his mission with enthusiasm and dedication and became one of the greatest promoters of the Rosary in Italy and in the world.

The apparition of Mary to Blessed Alan

In 1460, while he was reciting the Rosary in the church of Dinan, in Brittany, Alano De La Roche, a man who at the time was suffering from spiritual dryness, saw the Virgin Mary kneel in front of him, as if asking for his blessing. Struck by the vision, Alano had the confirmation that Mary was willing to intervene in the lives of men to save them from sin and to lead them to Christ.

The Apparition was so extraordinary that Alano decided to devote his whole life to spread the cult of the Rosary and devotion to Mary all over the world. He also wrote a booklet, where he explained his mystical experience and the importance of praying the Rosary for the salvation of souls.

So it was that after 7 years of hell Alano began a new life. One day while he was praying to Mary he revealed to him 15 promises related to the recitation of the Rosary. Mary promised in these 15 points to save sinners, the glory of heaven, eternal life and many other blessings.
