Little Man with the Rosary

 Little man, the Rosary is a treasure from God.

Take this gift from heaven

and let it lift you to heaven.

Pick up the Rosary and lift your soul to the Lord.

Pick up the Rosary and pray to God with Mary, 

Join her prayers in heaven to your prayers on earth,

and God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven (Mt. 6:10)

Pick up the Rosary and change your life forever.


Little Man with a choice to make, 

do you see the key to the kingdom of God

in your hands, when you hold a Rosary?

Do you see in your hand the power to change the world?

The power to change your world?


Little man standing on the earth, beware of this world!

It wants to take your love from God (1Jn.2:15-17)

The world will tell you there is no life, 

no power, and no point in prayer

-Because the world follows the way of the fool (Ps.53:1),

It is blinded by the flesh to the wisdom of the Spirit,

It chooses the ways of the animals over the ways of the angels,

Its reason is passion and its logic is madness,

-the madness that would lose an eternal soul

for a moment of pleasure.

This is a proud worldly wisdom

whose terms are a dictionary of lies (Jn.8:44),

and whose map leads to death (Mt.7:13).


Little man with a humble heart,

Open the book of truth

and embrace the life to which leads to freedom

Discover the truth of the Gospel by living it.

Know for sure its house is founded upon spiritual rock. (Mt.5:7:25/16:18).


Little man with a big heart,

know as truth from God that

If a man chooses the life of sin over the life of prayer,

He has lost his fortune in the spirit to the house of the flesh

- a house destined for destruction (Mt.7:27).

Do not allow yourself to be sold (Mt.27:5) into this parade of injustice.

Realize your potential is infinite,

your chance to choose Divine.


Little man with your Rosary beads,

do not let your opponent who is armed with a reed (Mk.15:19), take your

sword from your hand.

Little man with the Rosary beads no one can match your strength

For the power of the creator of all things is at your command

The power of your opponents is in your hand (Mt.26:53/Jn.19:11)

Little man with your Rosary beads do you know the power is within your

hands to shake the earth? (Mk.11:23,25)


Little man with your little Rosary,

Do you know it is within your power through simple prayer and meditation

to straighten the arch of sin and receive power, honor, and glory

A thousand times above and beyond that of the earth?

(Lk.4:6-8, Jn.18:36)

Do you know that you can rise to an estate in the city of God (Jn.14:2)

and possess it forever without fear of loss? (Mt.6:20, 21/Rev.21:4)

-unlike the estates of this world (Mt.6:19)

which pass on the night of death and judgment (Lk.12:20).


Little man holding the Rosary beads

do you know that

to accept that loss of your life in this world (Mt.10:39)

you inherit the reign of a kingdom

More mighty than the universe (Mt.24:29),

More brilliant that the sun (Rev.21:23),

More powerful than all the armies that ever fought (Rev.19:11-15),

More beautiful than all the women who ever lived (Rev.21:2),

More precious than all the diamonds, pearls (Rev.18:12, 16) and gold that

ever existed?


Little man with your Rosary beads do you know what a treasure you have?

(Mt.13:45)


Little man do you know how big you really are?

Do you know you sit upon a goldmine when you own a soul (Mt.13:44),

And your Rosary is the tool that can dig out your hidden treasure?


Little man with the Rosary,

Do not accept defeat

when you can conquer your enemy (Rev.3:5, 21),

-By the acceptance of suffering in this life (Lk.23:41)

and the will to persevere in prayer,

you are given an exit to paradise (Lk.23:43)

A road to the house of peace (Is.35:8).


Little man with the Rosary in your hands,

You are little in the eyes of the world,

But you are great in the eyes of God (1Sam.16:7)

-In silent prayer you move the world

(Mt.6:6, Jas.5:16-18).

The Rosary-its solemn recitation by all the faithful is an indicator that the Church looks to Mary for every help and aid

 Another proof of this belief is the devotion of the Rosary. The Church, by her general and daily practice and by the repeated teaching of the Pontiffs recommends the Rosary to us insistently, that highest power of Marian invocation. When nations trembled and whole peoples seemed to stagger upon quaking ground, when political men were anguished in their dealing with one another. Pope Leo XIII published every year a humble encyclical on the Rosary. He was sure of having found the true cure to the maladies of our age, he who was a great theologian and who had plumbed the depths of Christianity, the great man of State who had seen all the needs and aspirations of our modern times. Why this insistence on prayer to the august Virgin? Why the solemn month dedicated to her throughout Christendom, a practice maintained by all his successors?

Why is the Hail Mary repeated in the most critical situations and during the most pressing dangers? Is this not a sign that the Church has hope in Mary, even in the most difficult and desperate circumstances?
