Reciting the Rosary Protects Families

	Reciting the Rosary Protects Families It will not, then, seem too much to say that in places, families, and nations in which the Rosary of Mary retains its ancient honor, the loss of faith through ignorance and vicious error need not be feared. (…) To ward off these exceedingly great dangers of ignorance from her children, the Church, which never relaxes her vigilant and diligent care, has been in the habit of looking for the staunchest support of faith in the Rosary of Mary. And indeed in the Rosary, along with the most beautiful and efficacious prayer arranged in an orderly pattern, the chief mysteries of our religion follow one another, as they are brought before our mind for contemplation.
	Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter on the excellence of the Rosary: Magnae Dei Matris, September 7, 1892. Leo XIII devoted to that prayer no less than twelve encyclical or letters, which earned him the name of “the Pope of the Rosary”
