St. Louis de Montfort on the Rosary:

The Rosary is the most powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our Redeemer, who loves His Mother.

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

If priests and religious have an obligation to meditate on the great truths of our holy religion in order to live up to their vocation worthily, the same obligation, then, is just as much incumbent upon the laity — because of the fact that every day they meet with spiritual dangers which might make them lose their souls. Therefore they should arm themselves with the frequent meditation on the life, virtues and sufferings of Our Blessed Lord — which are so beautifully contained in the 15 mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
