The Crossfire of Love



When you pray the Rosary for someone,
Mary places that person between you
and her.

As soon as you start, you radiate currents
of love to Mary.  She instantaneously re-
sponds, by sending currents of her love
to you.

Currents of love simultaneously radiate
from the both of you, and the person for
whom you are praying gets caught in the
crossfire of your love.  If that person's a
wilted plant, currents will prop him/her up.

The Rosary can bring life out of  persons drained, chagrined, and disheveled.

Yet, it will not result in a manic state, or anything that resembles a temporary
coffee high.  It will certainly not result in a Kool-Aid drinker's religious fanatic
state which is nothing more than the sin of spiritual and emotional gluttony.  In
as much, all extremists are gluttons.  Moreover, extremists dehumanize others,
resulting in the fanatic finally dehumanizing himself in the abusive process.

For those unfamiliar, Kool-Aid refers to cult members, being that some commit-
ted mass suicide via poisoned Kool-Aid in decades past.  Suicide is idiotic.  You
are gonna to eventually die anyway.  The trick is to be ready to take into the state                         of forever the most meaningful and life-flourishing things you possibly can.

So, cool it with the death thing as much as you can, for as long as you can, while                    always being ready to take the one-way voyage into eternity.

The Rosary, due to its meditative feature, will show you that, even when you're
standing in front of an ocean, there is more expansive room on the inside of you
than on the outside.  Despite the size of an ocean outside, the interior life is far
more expansive.  You can soar through the interior life without the need of brakes.

The Virgin Mary was known to have relayed promises to Saint Dominic Guzma
and Blessed Alan of La Roche, concerning those who pray the Rosary.  They are
actually line items of a pact that Mary makes with the devotee, due to her protec-
tive personality.  The promises are insurance benefits ... an heir's inheritance.
They are the effect in the Cause & Effect of praying the Rosary.   Plus,
the Rosary is for all seasons of human emotion and all circumstances in
which one may find him/herself.
 

Keep in mind the wilted vs generated bandwidth of human existence.

The following is what you get for radiating currents of love to Mary:

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary,  shall 
    receive powerful graces.   2. I promise my special protection and the great-
    est graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, de-
    stroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.      4. It will cause virtue and 
    good works to flourish, and obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God.  
    It will withdraw the hearts of people 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. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, 
    shall not perish.    6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying 
    himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be con-
    quered by misfortune.  God will not chastise him in his justice, and he 
    will not perish by an unprovided death.  If he be just, he shall remain in 
    the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without 
     the Sacraments of the Church.     8. Those who are faithful to recite the 
     Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God 
     and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall par-
     ticipate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.    9. I shall deliver from 
     purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.  10. The faithful 
     children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

  11. You shall obtain all you ask of me through the recitation of the Holy 
        Rosary.  12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided
        by me in their necessities. 

  13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary 
        shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and 
        at the hour of death.   14. All who recite the Rosary are my children, and 
        brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ.      15. Devotion to my 
        Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

        For more on this devotion advocated by saints, Successors of Peter, and very
        nice people, as well as brazen sinners who didn't deny the beauty of  Mary,
        despite the delay in their eventual conversions, take a look at:
