The Rosary is THE weapon. ~ Pio Of Pietrelcina
Rosary quotes by Pio Of Pietrelcina
Some vampires wouldn't react if you shoved a rosary down their pants, though I wouldn't recommend testing the theory. ~ Molly Harper
Rosary quotes by Molly Harper
McCoy, drained and hollow-eyed, couldn't take his eyes off the life vest belonging to the boy who'd slipped away from the group during the night. The empty vest spooked McCoy. All its straps were still tightly tied-it looked like some trick that Houdini might've played. Then McCoy peered into the water and got another shock: the boy was floating below him, spread-eagled, about fifteen feet below the surface. He lay motionless until a current caught him; then it was as if he were flying in the depths. Jesus, McCoy thought, Mother of God. He started saying the rosary over and over. McCoy had never been overly religious; his mom was the spiritual one in the family. But now he began the process of what he'd later call his purification; he'd started asking God to forgive him of his sins. He was resolved to live but he was getting ready to die. ~ Doug Stanton
Rosary quotes by Doug Stanton
For Christians, the first of books is the Gospel and the Rosary is actually the abridgement of the Gospel. ~ Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire
Rosary quotes by Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire
The Rosary is a school for learning true Christian perfection. ~ Pope John XXIII
Rosary quotes by Pope John XXIII
Let mercy be your mosque, faith your prayer-mat, and honest living your Koran. Make modesty your circumcision, and good conduct your fast. In this way, you shall be a true Muslim. Let good conduct be your Kaabaa, Truth your spiritual guide, and the karma of good deeds your prayer and chant. Let your rosary be that which is pleasing to His Will. ~ Sant Singh
Rosary quotes by Sant Singh
Why this meaningless talk about the believer, the kafir, the obedient, the sinner, the rightly guided, the misdirected, the Muslim, the pious, the infidel, the fire worshipper? All are like beads in a rosary. ~ Anonymous
Rosary quotes by Anonymous
If you say the Holy Rosary every day, with a spirit of faith and love, our Lady will make sure she leads you very far along her Son's path. ~ Josemaria Escriva
Rosary quotes by Josemaria Escriva
How one deals with the death of a loved one is a highly personalized affair. Some people weep for days; others take a hike in the woods or count rosary beads. ~ Douglas Brinkley
Rosary quotes by Douglas Brinkley
You have been counting rosary beads for an era
But the wandering of your mind does not halt
Forsake the beads in your hand
And start moving the beads of your heart. ~ Vikas Swarup
Rosary quotes by Vikas Swarup
Wishbone

Half-eaten chicken
lying on white serving plate
quartered potatoes
chunks of carrots
celery too
we tell stories
and laugh about the day
your little finger is locked around the wishbone
so is mine
I pretend to make a wish
close my eyes
mumbling my lips
that's the way I faked out the nuns
pretending to say the rosary
so they would leave me alone
your face is so determined
you win the wrestling match
lifting your piece of chicken bone above your head
in victory
I know better than to ask
what did you wish for
secret desires of the heart are not to be shared
or
they won't come true
everyone knows that
you clean the dishes
I turn on the TV
lying on the couch
listening to you make music
with running water
and closing cupboard doors. ~ Robert Hobkirk
Rosary quotes by Robert Hobkirk
And then he experienced an inexplicable confusion of thoughts, like a rosary of ideas comprised of diverse and ingenious beads that had unraveled and was now rattling around in his brain with no thread linking them, no coherence. ~ Joris-Karl Huysmans
Rosary quotes by Joris-Karl Huysmans
Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world. ~ Pope Pius IX
Rosary quotes by Pope Pius IX
Carry the rosary with you everywhere, and it will carry you through anything. ~ Jason Evert
Rosary quotes by Jason Evert
Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been so favored by so many miracles as the devotion of the Most Holy Rosary ~ Pope Pius X
Rosary quotes by Pope Pius X
The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you'll be amazed at the results. ~ Josemaria Escriva
Rosary quotes by Josemaria Escriva
When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary. ~ Alanus De Rupe
Rosary quotes by Alanus De Rupe
Connie drove a silver Camry with rosary beads hanging from her rearview mirror and a Smith& Wesson stuck under the seat. No matter whatwent down, Connie was covered. ~ Janet Evanovich
Rosary quotes by Janet Evanovich
The exaggeration of the definiteness and importance of the dividing line between the capitalist class in that sense and the proletariat was surpassed only by the exaggeration of the antagonism between them. To any mind not warped by the habit of fingering the Marxian rosary it should be obvious that their relation is, in normal times, primarily one of cooperation and that any theory to the contrary must draw largely on pathological cases for verification. In social life, antagonism and synagogism are of course both ubiquitous and in fact inseparable except in the rarest of cases. But I am almost tempted to say that there was, if anything, less of absolute nonsense in the old harmonistic view - full of nonsense though that was too - than in the Marxian construction of the impassable gulf between tool owners and tool users. Again, however, he had no choice, not because he wanted to arrive at revolutionary results - these he could have derived just as well from dozens of other possible schemata - but because of the requirements of his own analysis. If class struggle was the subject matter of history and also the means of bringing about the socialist dawn, and if there had to be just those two classes, then their relation had to be antagonistic on principle or else the force in his system of social dynamics would have been lost. ~ Joseph Schumpeter
Rosary quotes by Joseph Schumpeter
He'd given her all the love he could give tonight without taking her maidenhead, undressing her, carrying her to his bed, kissing away her tears, caressing her, bringing her to her peak with his hands again and again, until she lay, weak and utterly spent, in his arms. Then he'd held her through the watches of the night, wishing dawn would never come.
"Tha moran ghradh agam ort, dh'Amaliedh," he whispered. My love lies upon you, Amalie.
He lifted the rosary from around his neck and placed the wooden beads in her palm. Then he took the tartan sash from his French uniform and draped it across the pillow beside her, branding her with Clan MacKinnon's colors. Would she know what that meant? ~ Pamela Clare
Rosary quotes by Pamela Clare
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. ~ Pio Of Pietrelcina
Rosary quotes by Pio Of Pietrelcina
Mary praise the rosary for my broken mind. ~ Lana Del Rey
Rosary quotes by Lana Del Rey
If you'd told me even a year before ... that I'd wind up whispering my sins in the confessional or on my knees saying the rosary, I would've laughed myself cockeyed. More likely pastime?Pole dancer. International spy. Drug mule. Assassin.
I drive under a sky black as graphite to meet my new spiritual director ... a bulky Franciscan nun named Sister Margaret, patiently going blind behind fish-tank glasses that magnify her eyes like goggles. ~ Mary Karr
Rosary quotes by Mary Karr
With a ring around the rosary
And a pocket full of crosses
Ashes to ashes
They'll all fall down ~ Matthew Fitzpatrick
Rosary quotes by Matthew Fitzpatrick
There are all the other times when I take a rosary, or misbaha, with thirty-three beads. God has nine-nine names, and if I go around the misbaha three times, God recycles Himself three times. It's a reminder that He shows up in our lives over and over again. He is One with many names, just as we are all One on earth. The difference is God accepts difference and diversity, while we're here trying to walk around like a fluffy holy cloud, each one claiming to know what God knows is best for us. I ask you again, in a different way, wouldn't life be boring if we all walk around like a holy fluffy cloud, saying we are God's mouth? Or perhaps we don't believe in a God, in which case, we simply call ourselves Taylor Swift? ~ Sadiqua Hamdan
Rosary quotes by Sadiqua Hamdan
It's the relationship that heals, the relationship that heals, the relationship that heals - my professional rosary. ~ Irvin D. Yalom
Rosary quotes by Irvin D. Yalom
The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary. ~ Saint Francis De Sales
Rosary quotes by Saint Francis De Sales
A worship team that prays together stays together. ~ Gangai Victor
Rosary quotes by Gangai Victor
The Rosary is a treasure of graces ~ Pope Paul V
Rosary quotes by Pope Paul V
I am a Catholic. As far as possible I go to Mass every day. This is a rosary. As far as possible, I kneel down and tell these beads every day. If you reject me on account of my religion, I shall thank God that He has spared me the indignity of being your representative! ~ Hilaire Belloc
Rosary quotes by Hilaire Belloc
While Lou loved the raucous music, loud voices, and chaotic movement of a dinner rush, the calm of prep-work soothed her soul and gave her time to think. Some people did downward dog, some burned incense in front of a Buddha statue, some prayed the rosary; Lou chopped the vegetables into tiny squares, filleted fish, and reduced veal stock. Her meditation smelled better, and even if she didn't find a solution, at least she got to eat. ~ Amy E. Reichert
Rosary quotes by Amy E. Reichert
From it (the Rosary) the young will draw fresh energy with which to control the rebellious tendencies to evil and to preserve intact the stainless purity of the soul. Also in it, the old will again find repose, relief, and peace from their anxious cares. And to all those who suffer in any way, especially the dying, may it bring comfort and increase the hope of eternal happiness. ~ Pope Pius XI
Rosary quotes by Pope Pius XI
Day is like day as two beads in a rosary, unless changes of weather form the only variety. ~ Henryk Sienkiewicz
Rosary quotes by Henryk Sienkiewicz
Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil. ~ Louis De Montfort
Rosary quotes by Louis De Montfort
Apparently the pro-choice types who jump up and down in the street demanding that you keep your rosaries off their ovaries are entirely relaxed about the government getting its bureaucratics all over your lymphatics. ~ Mark Steyn
Rosary quotes by Mark Steyn
The past is always with us, in the form of our photographs, which we feel as we might a rosary, wearing them smooth with the fingering of our eyes. ~ A. D. Coleman
Rosary quotes by A. D. Coleman
For your penance," the Bishop said finally, "say three rosaries, one for each year of your sinful life, and offer them for the people you have harmed."

"That is not remotely enough," she snapped.

"Do you need also to confess doubts about the power of God to forgive sins?"

"Yes," she admitted after a few moments.

"In that case, for your penance, say only one rosary. ~ Rosamund Hodge
Rosary quotes by Rosamund Hodge
All love tends to become like that which it loves. God loved man; therefore He became man. For nine months her own body was the natural Eucharist, in which God shared communion with human life, thus preparing for that greater Eucharist when human life would commune with the Divine. Mary's joy was to form Christ in her own body; her joy now is to form Christ in our souls. In this Mystery, we pray to become pregnant with the Christ spirit, giving Him new lips with which He may speak of His Father, new hands with which He may feed the poor, and a new heart with which He may love everyone, even enemies. ~ Fulton J. Sheen
Rosary quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
One's duty is to feel what is great, cherish the beautiful, and to not accept the conventions of society with the ignominy that it imposes upon us. ~ Gustave Flaubert
Rosary quotes by Gustave Flaubert
Again, the endless northern rain between us
like a veil. Tonight, I know exactly where you are,
which row, which seat. I stand at my back door.
The light pollution blindfolds every star.

I hold my hand out to the rain, simply to feel it, wet
and literal. It spills and tumbles in my palm,
a broken rosary. Devotion to you lets me see
the concert hall, lit up, the other side of town,

then see you leave there, one of hundreds in the dark,
your black umbrella raised. If rain were words, could talk,
somehow, against your skin, I'd say look up, let it utter
on your face. Now hear my love for you. Now walk.

- Bridgewater Hall ~ Carol Ann Duffy
Rosary quotes by Carol Ann Duffy
Cass had a few points but, really, a vampire? Who believed in such a myth? What was Cass suggesting anyway? That I grab my rosary and head for the nearest church begging for holy water? Line my door and windows with salt? Sleep with a wooden stake under my pillow? Hang garlic bulbs from my bedroom door? Why was I even considering these options? ~ Jayde Scott
Rosary quotes by Jayde Scott
She had no need in her heart for either book or magazine. She had her own way of escape, her own passage into contentment: her rosary. That string of white beads, the tiny links worn in a dozen places and held together by strands of white thread which in turn broke regularly, was, bead for bead, her quiet flight out of the world. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. And Maria began to climb. Bead for bead, life and living fell away. Hail Mary, Hail Mary. Dream without sleep encompassed her. Passion without flesh lulled her. Love without death crooned the memory of belief. She was away: she was free; she was no longer Maria, American or Italian, poor or rich, with or without electric washing machines and vacuum cleaners; here was the land of all-possessing. Hail Mary, Hail Mary, over and over, a thousand and a hundred thousand times, prayer upon prayer, the sleep of the body, the escape of the mind, the death of memory, the slipping away of pain, the deep silent reverie of belief. Hail Mary and Hail Mary. It was for this that she lived. ~ John Fante
Rosary quotes by John Fante
Whether one is Marian or Charismatic or both, or prays in one or more of the many other ways open to us, it is all a flow of love, if the heart is truly speaking to and listening to the Holy Trinity. Personally, I pray the Divine Mercy chaplet every day. We pray the Rosary every day in our family. ~ Michael O'Brien
Rosary quotes by Michael O'Brien
To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate the face of Christ with Mary. ~ Pope John Paul II
Rosary quotes by Pope John Paul II
Stand as far away from me as you can
And ask me why
Hang on to your rosary beads
Close your eyes to watch me die

You keep saying kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
God, but did you ever try
To turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world
So that the world
Can watch you die ~ Gil Scott-Heron
Rosary quotes by Gil Scott-Heron
K,
the lady at the store said yellow means friendship and red means love. The rosary is the only thing I own that has value to me. It's yours. I'm yours
C. ~ Simone Elkeles
Rosary quotes by Simone Elkeles
Satan doesn't want us to enter into the power of the mysteries of the life of Christ. He wants us to stay complacent, lukewarm, and lazy. He wants us to be satisfied with mediocrity. ~ Michael E. Gaitley - 33 Days To Morning Glory
Rosary quotes by Michael E. Gaitley - 33 Days To Morning Glory
Simon traces his fingers up my spine, touching bone after bone like he's holding the individual beads of a rosary in silent worship. ~ B.L. Berry
Rosary quotes by B.L. Berry
Don't cry Meg. It's not that bad."

"It's not that bad? Ha! I'm thirty years old, with two black eyes, a swollen nose, a big, honking, yellow knot on my forehead, and the haircut from hell. As if that isn't enough, I had a transvestite in my bed this morning, my husband is a lying, cheating, cradle robbing, bastard, who at some point slept with my best friend."

Jack scooted over to the middle of the seat, and stopped listening to his head and wrapped his arms around her. Big mistake! From inside, four faces were pressed to the window.

"My last orgasm-with a partner- was…hell I can't remember when! I frequently knock myself out for entertainment purposes, I have little boobs, big feet, squishy panties, nosy neighbors and demon possessed fish. God hates me!"

Jack held her tighter.

"I have frequent flyer miles at the hospital. I fed my husband marijuana Ex-lax brownies and shoved a marble up his butt."

Jack pulled away to look at her and she was serious. And crying. Big, sad, alligator tears that made his heart swell. "My mother is a holy rolling, Catholic Dr. Ruth, complete with condoms and Rosary beads. I write about relationships and sex, both of which I suck at and I hired a Private Investigator to pimp me out."

Jack burst out laughing and she pushed him away and swatted his shoulder.

"And now you're laughing at me. Could things get any worse? ~ Amy Johnson
Rosary quotes by Amy   Johnson
The Rosary offers an easy way to present the chief mysteries of the Christian religion and to impress then upon the mind. ~ Pope Leo XIII
Rosary quotes by Pope Leo XIII
If you think you don't have any time for prayer, and can't find any time, then ask God to forgive you ... The Pope isn't too busy for his daily rosary; if you're busier than the Pope, you're too busy. ~ James Peterson
Rosary quotes by James Peterson
In the concealed darkness of the bag her fingers began to work her rosary, clumsily at first but with increasing dexterity - Push. Click. Slide. Press - ~ Robert Harris
Rosary quotes by Robert Harris
The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A prayer so simple and so rich; from deepest heart, I exhort all to recite it. ~ Pope John Paul II
Rosary quotes by Pope John Paul II

Religion is only in the service of the people; it is not in the rosary and the prayer-carpet. ~ Saadi
Rosary quotes by Saadi
The Holy Rosary is the storehouse of countless blessings. ~ Alanus De Rupe
Rosary quotes by Alanus De Rupe
One night I looked down and my rosary beads were glowing. And I realized that I did not want to see the blessed Virgin - I was terrified. ~ Susan Sarandon
Rosary quotes by Susan Sarandon
The Rosary is the compendium of the entire Gospel. ~ Pope Paul V
Rosary quotes by Pope Paul V
Saadi's dictum, in the Bostan: 'The Path is not in the rosary, the prayer-mat and the robe ~ Idries Shah
Rosary quotes by Idries Shah
Irish Catholics are more interested in the rosary beads than in the rosary ... ~ Bernadette Devlin
Rosary quotes by Bernadette Devlin
A Gnani [the enlightened one] does not have to turn beads of a rosary; He turns the beads of own's own Self (the Soul). ~ Dada Bhagwan
Rosary quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind ... ~ Lana Del Rey
Rosary quotes by Lana Del Rey
The inventor of the plow did more good than the maker of the first rosary - because, say what you will, plowing is better than praying. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Rosary quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
How guilt refined the methods of self-torture, threading the beads of detail into an eternal loop, a rosary to be fingered for a lifetime. ~ Ian McEwan
Rosary quotes by Ian McEwan
A fine thing to be talking about angels in this day when common thieves smash the holy rosaries of their victims in the street ... ~ Jack Kerouac
Rosary quotes by Jack Kerouac
Then, when people saw you strolling around at high noon holding your rosary beads, they'd think, 'Well, that can't be a vampire. ~ Jeaniene Frost
Rosary quotes by Jeaniene Frost
The Rosary mystically transports us to Mary's side as she is busy watching over the human growth of Christ in the home of Nazareth. This enables her to train us and to mold us with the same care, until Christ is 'fully formed' in us ... Why should we not once more have recourse to the Rosary, with the same faith as those who have gone before us? ~ Pope John Paul II
Rosary quotes by Pope John Paul II
Among the various supplications with which we successfully appeal to the Virgin Mother of God, the Holy Rosary without doubt occupies a special and distinct place. This prayer, which some call the Psalter of the Virgin or Breviary of the Gospel and of Christian life, was described and recommended by Our Predecessor of happy memory, Leo XIII ~ Pope Pius XI
Rosary quotes by Pope Pius XI
A flash of harmless lightning,
A mist of rainbow dyes.
The burnished sunbeams brightening
From flower to flower he flies;
While wakes the nodding blossom
But just too late to see
What lip hath touched her bosom
And drained her rosary. ~ John B. Tabb
Rosary quotes by John B. Tabb
Spanish pilgrims travel on Camino de Santiago from monastery to monastery, collecting small medals to attach to their rosary as proof of their steps. I have stacks of Polaroids, each marking my own, that I sometimes spread out like tarots or baseball cards of an imagined celestial team. ~ Patti Smith
Rosary quotes by Patti Smith
MAULANA'S LAST LETTER TO SHAMS

Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you
Were a mere dream in along winter night,
A dream of spring-days, and of golden light
Which sheds its rays upon a frozen heart;
A dream of wine that fills the drunken eye.

And so I wonder, sweetest love, if I
Should drink this ruby wine, or rather weep;
Each tear a bezel with your face engraved,
A rosary to memorize your name...

There are so many ways to call you back-
Yes, even if you only were a dream. ~ Jalaluddin Rumi
Rosary quotes by Jalaluddin Rumi
All ten years of my trepidations,
Each and every sleepless night,
I placed them all in a quiet word
And I voiced it – in vain, unsure.
You walked off and with order restored,
My soul was empty and pure.

- From "Confusion", Anna Akhmatova, Rosary ~ Anna Akhmatova
Rosary quotes by Anna Akhmatova
My process of preparing for any type of psychic work is to meditate and pray the rosary. ~ John Edward
Rosary quotes by John Edward
A very special case. A few years more, and that pretty creature who you love too much, I think, will, without ever loving them, have known as many men as there are beads on her aunt's rosary. No happy medium! Either a nun or a monster! God's bosom or sensual passions! It would, perhaps, be better to put her in a convent, since we put hysterical women in the Saltpetriere! She does not know vice, she invents it!
That was ten years ago before the day our story begins and ... Raoule was not a nun. ~ Rachilde
Rosary quotes by Rachilde
Kids are supposed to relax on vacations, and enjoy themselves, not sitting in the back seat of a car making peace with death and gripping a rosary because Mom is playing chicken with oncoming cars in the mountains. ~ Joshua David Swift
Rosary quotes by Joshua David Swift
The Rosary is my favorite prayer. ~ Pope John Paul II
Rosary quotes by Pope John Paul II
I come from a very, very Catholic family. We used to pray the rosary every day after dinner. ~ Juanes
Rosary quotes by Juanes
I said the rosary, and I said the Our Father, as they call it in the Catholic Church. One of the things I learned in the conversion process was to say the rosary, and I had a set of rosary beads. So I said 'Hail Mary, full of grace.' ~ Wesley Clark
Rosary quotes by Wesley Clark
Filipinos everywhere are known for their love of God, their fervent piety and their warm devotion to Our Lady and her rosary ~ Pope Francis
Rosary quotes by Pope Francis
A mother has a unique perspective. Nobody sees the life of the child the way the child's mother does - not even the father. This is Mary's perspective of Jesus life. It seems to me that every genuine Christian, not just Catholics, should be interested in that perspective - and not just interested, but fascinated. In the rosary we ponder the life of Jesus through the eyes of his mother. This is an incredibly powerful experience if we enter into it fully ~ Matthew Kelly
Rosary quotes by Matthew Kelly
Have you not often met poor old women who are most faithful to the pious recitation of the Rosary? You also must do all that you can to recite it with fervour. Get right down, at the feet of Jesus: it is a good thing to make oneself small in the presence of so great a God. ~ Columba Marmion
Rosary quotes by Columba Marmion
One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world. ~ Saint Dominic
Rosary quotes by Saint Dominic
The rosary is the most powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our Redeemer, who loves His Mother. ~ Louis De Montfort
Rosary quotes by Louis De Montfort
Every day I'm trying to be more humble and how do you do that? I guess, every day, we have mass. Every day, I pray the rosary. That's what I do. ~ Jim Caviezel
Rosary quotes by Jim Caviezel
You fascinate me." Chris leaned away so he could see her face. "How so?" "You quote Augustine, and you make an awesome campfire. You carry a rosary in your pocket, and you're going to work at a brewery. You're a virgin, and you ride a Harley. ~ Carolyn Astfalk
Rosary quotes by Carolyn Astfalk
You always leave the Rosary for later, and you end up not saying it at all because you are sleepy. If there is no other time, say it in the street without letting anybody notice it. It will, moreover, help you to have presence of God. ~ Josemaria Escriva
Rosary quotes by Josemaria Escriva
When we pray the Rosary, the goal is not so much to reflect on the words of the Hail Mary prayer itself. Rather, the Hail Marys are meant to be a kind of "background music" that helps us enter into contemplation of the mysteries. This background music is like the gentle hand of a mother on our shoulders, standing behind us, getting us to look at Jesus, contemplate his face, and love him through his mother's eyes, mind, and heart. ~ Michael Gaitley
Rosary quotes by Michael Gaitley
Lamium

Migraine dreams, jagged seams,
A badge of love and pain.
Or dreamy eyes, sleepy eyes,
Drooping, closing, losing light.
Packages scattered under the tree,
Some torn open, some tied tight.

Is there a heartbeat in those purple veins?
Are those embryos or mouths or rosary beads?
The color of my first dress, gathered with love,
Fairy cups stirred with blades of grass,
notes clustered on a windy score,
Three blooms, three friends, alas!

Grape flowers, cloud flowers, love flowers,
Paper parasols upside down, a butterfly herd
Stopped to rest by a deep green pool.
Petals small as a child's tears good-bye,
Dropped stitches everywhere
From a blanket the color of sky. ~ Louise Hawes
Rosary quotes by Louise Hawes
As we strolled into the hospital, I couldn't help thinking about Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe" because I was having a difficult time staying calm. I had been kidnapped and beaten senseless by an agent of Lucifer, and yet the white coats the doctors wore scared me just as badly. The men who had taken me from my mother wore those same damned lab coats. Every time I saw one, it awakened a dormant fear inside me - fear that I'd be dragged away from someone I loved again, fear that I'd be placed into the waiting hands of another horrible person. It would never truly go away.
Michael's shoulder bumped mine, which shook me out of my thoughts. I glanced at him. "What?"
"You're frowning."
"Am I supposed to be smiling right now?"
He faced forward, looking at our reflection in the elevator doors. "No, but you look like you're about to bolt at any second."
I watched the digital numbers change one by one as we rose up to the right floor, fiddling with the rosary in the pocket of my leather jacket. Somehow, the beads had a calming effect on me. "I'm fine."
"Hard ass."
A tiny smirk touched my lips. "Stop thinking about my butt. You're an archangel."
He grinned, but didn't reply. ~ Kyoko M.
Rosary quotes by Kyoko M.
I'm saying my rosary every day. ~ Jordana Brewster
Rosary quotes by Jordana Brewster
A man who is in the habit of smiling in the glass at his handsome face and stalwart figure, if you shew him their radiograph, will have, face to face with that rosary of bones, labelled as being the image of himself, the same suspicion of error as the visitor to an art gallery who, on coming to the portrait of a girl, reads in his catalogue: Dromedary resting. ~ Marcel Proust
Rosary quotes by Marcel Proust
The turning of the charkha in a lifeless way will be like the turning of the beads of the rosary with a wandering mind turned away from God. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Rosary quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Enter Justine Putet, of whom it is now time to speak. Imagine a swarthy-looking, ill-tempered person, dried-up and of viperish disposition, with a bad complexion, an evil expression, a cruel tongue, defective internal economy, and (over all this) a layer of aggressive piety and loathsome suavity of speech. A paragon of virtue of a kind that filled you with dismay, for virtue in such a guise as this is detestable to behold, and in this instance it seemed to be inspired by a spirit of hatred and vengeance rather than by ordinary feelings of kindness. An energetic user of rosaries, a fervent petitioner at her prayers, but also an unbridled sower of calumny and clandestine panic. In a word, she was the scorpion of Clochemerle, but a scorpion disguised as a woman of genuine piety. ~ Gabriel Chevallier
Rosary quotes by Gabriel Chevallier
Those who say the Rosary daily and wear the Brown Scapular and who do a little more, will go straight to Heaven. ~ Alphonsus Liguori
Rosary quotes by Alphonsus Liguori
The calcium of bones, the keratin of eyelashes, the exhalations of our bodies - all these are reconstituted as carbon atoms, used to make the world anew: the earth, the lilies of the field, the ink of this book. What is can never cease to be. Kenelm found comfort in these alchemists' precepts, touching them again and again like rosary beads. We are all stars, and to the stars we return. ~ Hermione Eyre
Rosary quotes by Hermione Eyre
In the convent, y'all,
I tend the gardens,
watch things grow,
pray for the immortal soul
of rock 'n' roll.

They call me
Sister Presley here,
The Reverend Mother
digs the way I move my hips
just like my brother.

Gregorian chant
drifts out across the herbs
Pascha nostrum immolatus est...
I wear a simple habit,
darkish hues,

a wimple with a novice-sewn
lace band, a rosary,
a chain of keys,
a pair of good and sturdy
blue suede shoes.

I think of it
as Graceland here,
a land of grace.
It puts my trademark slow lopsided smile
back on my face.

Lawdy.
I'm alive and well.
Long time since I walked
down Lonely Street
towards Heartbreak Hotel.

- Elvis's Twin Sister ~ Carol Ann Duffy
Rosary quotes by Carol Ann Duffy
Who is it?" asks Zain, his eyes wide with disbelief at Shayda's unusual outburst. "No-one," she replies. It's a day of simple words, loaded with meaning. The no-one she said yes to a few hours ago. The no-one she agreed to spend the rest of her life with. The no-one whose rosary is dangling from her wrist. I will always be no-one. Because everyone who counts in Shayda's world is on the other side of the door. I will always be on the perimeter of her life, always the outsider, looking in. ~ Leylah Attar
Rosary quotes by Leylah Attar
Deciding to chant the mantra a certain number of times daily will help foster the japa habit. We should always keep a rosary with us for doing japa. A rosary can be made of 108, 54, 27 or 18 beads of rudraksha, tulsi, crystal, sandalwood, gems, etc, with one 'guru bead'. We should resolve to chant a certain number of rosaries (rounds) daily. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Rosary quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
My aunt had given me these rosary beads that were glow-in-the-dark. So all of a sudden I look down and they're glowing, and I'm looking toward the door and thinking, "Oh, my God, I don't want anything to come though here. I'm not worthy, I'm not ready." I didn't want to be one of those kids who sees Our Lady of Fatima. ~ Susan Sarandon
Rosary quotes by Susan Sarandon
All these stuff she's done before - the rosary, the deep thoughts, the faux British accent. It's the same thing over and over. She's be so much better if she just retired, and I like Madonna. ~ Andrea Tantaros
