Help
With Your Rule
For Only 15 Minutes a Day...
We complain because God is silent; we get discouraged because He isn't helping us; We go the wrong way for what seems like a lack of grace...
But how would you like to be given special graces just when you need them? To have guaranteed protection from heaven for you and your family life - protection from demonic temptation, from vices, from sin and heresy? To be specially helped by God in all you do, and to have all your most important needs met just because you asked? For only 15 minutes a day....

Pray your daily rosary. Even if it's dry, Even if it seems boring. Even if it seems useless. Even if you do no other prayer all day - pray the rosary. There are special promises attached to the rosary. Popes and saints have called it indespensible.
As one priest I knew said, "I wouldn't dare go to bed without saying my rosary." Why? Because there is a special protection from temptation and special light given through the intercession of the Blessed Mother.
How many times have I found myself wallowing in meaninglessness, or very sad, or tempted to go another way than the way I knew God wished - and it was only throught the rosary that I could quickly hop back on track...
One time, a friend of mine's wife was going to have an abortion - scheduled for 7am the next morning. It was 11 o'clock at night. Remembering the Blessed Mother's promise that "You shall receive all you ask for through the recitation of the rosary", I sat down and began to pray, determined to say that rosary all night if I had to! By the time I got to the middle of the third rosary, there was a phone call - my friend's wife had changed her mind. The abortion never happened.
Another time, my mother had come home and said there was a man named "Del" who was dying, yet he hadn't been to the Sacraments for over 30 years and he was refusing to see a priest, no matter how hard the family begged. So, in our rosary that night, we specifically prayed for Del to receive Confession and the Last Rites before he died.
Mom came home from work the next day - Del had died at 7 am that morning. But guess what? In the middle of the night, at 2 am, he had called a priest in another city 2 hours away. The priest had gotten out of bed, drove the two hours to Del's city, heard Del's confession and gave him the Eucharist and the Last Rites, and shortly after Del had died.
Don't slack on the rosary!
