“For never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil.

This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”

Twenty-fifth Rose, St. Louis de Montfort

“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times.”

St. Padre Pio

“The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.”

St. Josemaria Escriva

"The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.

Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary.

With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests."

Our Lady of Akita, 1973.

In the beginning of our creation of the Step-by-Step Rosary, it was driven by questions searching for answers, and when finding answers, the answers were compared, questioned, and researched again. It became imminent that there is so much information around, and it is a copy and paste / re-citation of information building webpages.

What is the truth, which text is correct, which prayer is correct and stronger than the home-cooked ones?

The Step-by-Step Rosary then became the sanctuary, allowing us to build the foundation, or more so, cement the foundation.

The message is quite clear and the Rosary is our only weapon.

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."

Our Lady of Akita, 1973.

Our Step-by-Step Rosary community consist of several Step-by-Step community partners and share the visions of our founder. There are today Rosary booklets in six languages and it is an on-going project since its start in 2015/2016. More than 400 consecutive Saturday Rosary prayers are under the umbrella making the Step-by-Step Rosary an advanced "beginners Rosary" with the understanding that it is difficult to learn of how to pray the Rosary. The hundreds of Rosary prayers makes the Step-by-Step Rosary a useful tool for the ones who know of how to pray the Rosary, but wants to deepen the meditation and understanding.

Besides the our website, PrayRosary.info, the group consist of:

• The Society of the Holy Rosary
• The Commander Cross Rosary
  
• Pray-Rosary.church
  
• The Art of Christianity Collection

The Commander Cross Rosary launched online on Sept 13, 2019, due to the call from Cardinal Leo Burke and Bishop Athansius Schneider of the need of prayers before the Amazon Synod. It aims to reach men who wants to pray the Rosary. Bishop Athanasius Schneider asked for Knights to step forward in 2019.

The Society of the Holy Rosary launched online on December 6, 2019 in response to the call made by four Catholic exorcists for a day of fasting, prayer and repentance. It was intended to carry a deeper journalistic touch and it had a trending article about St. Maximilian Kolbe.

The Pray-Rosary.church offer Step-by-Step Rosary community Rosary prayers in other languages than just English, such as: French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainan. The Japanese- and the Portuguese versions are under construction. 

The PrayRosary.info had the intention to become the actual database for the Step-by-Step community. It is currently under revision of how we can structure the database in a better manner.

The Art of Christianity Collection, Stockholm has purchased more than 300 etchings, which are used within our Step-by-Step community. The vision is to be able to tell the story we want to share when praying the Rosary.

Another project that we are focusing on is the need to protect yourself, your house and family and we need proper blessed gear such as:

• Medals of your choice (St. Benedict and Miraculous medal is a good start ...).
• Rosaries .
• Holy salt (pref. vigil of Epiphany).
• Holy water (pref. vigil of Epiphany).
• Blessed incence (myrrh or francincense, pref. Epiphany).
• Blessed candles.

(our recommendation is that blessings are preferable according to the Rituale Romanum and only performed by a priest. Once you have seen the different approaches, it becomes clear when you see the difference)

Please do remember that once an item is blessed, if there is a transaction, it will breaks the blessing.

The Devil celebrates your "victory" but leaves you alone with the consequences. And, these consequences are not good. Evil wants to alinate you from others. The more alone you are, the more darkness is around you, which is why we include all in our Rosary prayer community, even if you are alone while praying, you are not alone.

... through the 9 Ways We Participate in Other People's Sins:

1. By Counsel
2. By Par-taking
3. By Consent
4. By Provocation (to instigate others)
5. By Praise or Flattery
6. By Silence to Conceal the sin
7. By not Punish the Sinner
8. By Command or appeal/request
9. By Defence of the ill done

The modern Catholic Catechesis states in Article 8, Number 5, Point 1868: "The Proliferation of Sin".

"Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:
- by participating directly and voluntarily in them;
- by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
- by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;
- by protecting evil-doers."

In the point 1869:

"Thus sin makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them.

Sins give rise to social situations and institutions that are contrary to the divine goodness.

"Structures of sin" are the expression and effect of personal sins. They lead their victims to do evil in their turn.

In an analogous sense, they constitute a "social sin."

The points 1868 and 1869 are the nine ways of how we participate in others sin, regardless if we understand that we are used by others.

That is also why the nine mentioned ways are of importance to put the foot down and say NO or STOP.

The word consequence is interesting as Merriam-Webster defines it as "a condition or occurrence traceable to a cause".

Are there consequences of your actions?

PRAYER ACCORDING TO THE POPES INTENTION

The Raccolta, ed. 1910, #23.

There are people who, today, have difficulties of praying for the Popes intentions - but - few knows of what the intentions actually are:

"The Pope’s intention always includes the following objects:

i. The progress of the Faith and triumph of the Church.
ii. Peace and union among Christian Princes and Rulers.
iii. The conversion of sinners.
iv. The uprooting of heresy.

These intentions may be fittingly recalled and prayed for after Communion, or at the visit;
but a general intention of praying according to the mind of the Pope is sufficient ; and any prayers may be used which are not already of obligation, e.g., the Little Hours of a priests Office.
(July 12, 1847; May 29, 1841.)"
