ABOUT THE ROSARY OF SAINT MICHAEL The Rosary of Saint Michael, or the Rosary of the Angels, is a source of individual power in times of affliction, fear, anguish, depression, fatigue, stress, impatience, hopelessness, and all that may torment us. From the moment one begins to pray it, the angels prostrate themselves in heaven before the Throne of Grace and engage in constant prayer, or even vigil, so that the evil may be immediately removed from us, if no benefit for the honor and glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer and Savior of men, can be derived from it. Even if the evil has been permitted by God to afflict us for our edification, the angels still intercede in our weakness, knowing that all that causes us concern takes us away from moments of prayer.
And God, in His infinite mercy, is moved with compassion and pity for us, because He only wants to do us good, but sometimes He must allow trials because of our sins. God loves us so much that, knowing our difficulties in praying, He teaches us some beautiful and holy compositions inspired by the Holy Spirit for our spiritual growth and strength.
"REJOICE IN HOPE, BE PATIENT IN TRIBULATION, BE CONSTANT IN PRAYER" (Romans 12:12).
