(This page is dedicated to Padre Pio's promotion of the Rosary for more quotes of his, click on the photo of him above)
St. Padre Pio always carried a rosary in his hands. He even had to wash one hand at a time because “he didn’t want to leave the rosary beads, and passed the Rosary from one hand to the other.”
What’s more, it has been told that he would say anywhere from 30 to 50 rosaries in one day!
“Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.”
Padre Pio prayed the Rosary fervently on a daily basis and even kept a few rosaries under his pillow. One night he wasn’t able to find his rosaries, so he called Fr. Onorato of San Giovanni Rotondo and said to him, “Young man, get me my weapon; give me my weapon.”
“With this weapon you will win.”
Padre Pio states that
“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ against Satan for these times, a weapon of defense and salvation.”
One of the statements that he made (and I am paraphrasing):
“Russia would be converted when there were as many members of the Blue Army as there were Communists."
In 2012, there were 80 out of 435 Representatives in the House of Representatives that were Card Carrying Communists. That is about 1/5 of the House of Representatives!
Now with the fake dissolution of Communism since the Fall of the Berlin Wall, it has almost been impossible to count the number of Communists in the World.
However, those that have lived under the Communist Rule are far more likely to want another way of life and are zealously trying to obtain it!
We must therefore take up our weapon and wield it on our enemies!!!
