15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
From EWTN, “taken from the writings of Blessed Alan.”
NOTE: “…[W]hen God ‘establishes his eternal plan of “predestination,” he includes in it each person’s free response to his grace’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 600). Thus, anyone who is finally saved will have been predestined by God because it was God’s predestined plan and God’s grace that went before him and enabled him to be saved.
“However, this does not mean that God has predestined anyone for hell. Indeed, the Bible cannot be any plainer than to say God is ‘not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance’ (2 Pt. 3:9). God wills all to be saved. To be damned, a person must willfully reject God’s ‘predestined plan’ for his salvation (cf. CCC 2037)…” (Tim Staples, Catholic Answers).
The Rosary is a beautiful prayer during which we meditate on events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Its purpose is to bring us ever closer to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. The Rosary has been called “The Gospel of Jesus Christ on a string of beads.”
According to tradition, Our Lady gave these promises to St. Dominic and to Blessed Alan de la Roche, the Dominican who spread devotion to the Rosary in the fifteenth century (EWTN). They belong to private devotion, not to the Church’s official teaching (Catechism 67). They are encouragements to pray the Rosary faithfully, with love for Jesus and Mary, not guarantees.
Pope St. John Paul II wrote that the Rosary, “though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christocentric prayer. In the sobriety of its elements, it has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety, of which it can be said to be a compendium” (Rosarium Virginis Mariae, 1).
