Catholics? What are the benefits of praying the rosary?

Praying the rosary involves meditating on the events in the life of Jesus (the "mysteries" of the rosary) and can help you come closer to Christ and better understand what He has done for us all.

I am certainly NOT Catholic BUT... MARY promised us NOTHING ...nor could she PROMISE anymore than any of us can ... we know NOT what the next second brings for us ... only God does.

Be careful about those 'vain repetitions' that God warns us about ... that is cult-like activity.

God help you & them

Rosary is not going to do anything for you or the prayer or has anything to do with god. It is a cult and part of catholic religion, has nothing to do with God. I am christian and you simply pray with out the rosary, just come the way you are and pray in the spirit to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The 15 Promises of Our Lady

1) To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces.

2) Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace.

3) The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy.

4) The Rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5) Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish.

6) Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune. He will not experience the anger of God nor will he perish by an unprovided death. The sinner will be converted; the just will persevere in grace and merit eternal life.

7) Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8) Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed.

9) I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary.

10) True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven.

11) What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain.

12) To those who propagate my Rosary I promise aid in all their necessities.

13) I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have as their intercessors, in life and in death, the entire celestial court.

14) Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

15) Devotion to my Rosary is a special sign of predestination.

Jesus himself warned about such praying here in the bible.

Matthew 6:7

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Just talk to God in regular talk.

As I said, its cult delusion. If you don't want the truth why ask the question?

Take an arrow to the knee.

It never did anything for me except made my knees sore.
