To all those who shall pray my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and great graces. 2. Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary will receive some special grace. 3. The Rosary will be a very powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, deliver from sin and dispel heresy. 4. The rosary will make virtue and good works flourish, and will obtain for souls the most abundant divine mercies. It will draw the hearts of men 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. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary will not perish. 6. Whoever recites my Rosary devoutly reflecting on the mysteries, shall never be overwhelmed by misfortune.

Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church. 8. Those who are faithful to recite my Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces and will share in the merits of the blessed. 9. I will deliver promptly from purgatory souls devoted to my Rosary. 10. True children of my Rosary will enjoy great glory in heaven. 11. What you shall ask through my Rosary you shall obtain. 12.

HOLY FATHER S INTENTIONS FOR THE MONTH OF JULY Please keep the following intentions in your prayers Universal: That journalists, in carrying out their work, may always be motivated by respect for truth and a strong sense of ethics. Evangelization: That World Mission day may renew within all Christian communities the joy of the Gospel and the responsibility to announce it. SAINTS CORNER St. Jerome Saint Jerome is known as the patron saint of Librarians. St. Jerome, who was born Eusebius Hieronymous Sophronius, was the most learned of the Fathers of the Western Church. He was born about the year 342 at Stridonius, a small town at the head of the Adriatic, near the episcopal city of Aquileia. He was well instructed at home, then sent to Rome, where the young man s teachers were the famous pagan grammarian Donatus and Victorinus, a Christian rhetorician. After three years at Rome, Jerome's intellectual curiosity led him to explore other parts of the world. By nature an irascible man with a sharp tongue, Jerome made enemies as well as friends. In the sixteenth century the great Council of Trent pronounced Jerome's Vulgate the authentic and authoritative Latin text of the Catholic Church. The Church owes much to St. Jerome. While his great work was the Vulgate, his achievements in other fields are valuable; to him we owe the distinction between canonical and apocryphal writings; he was a pioneer in the field of Biblical archeology, his commentaries are important; his letters, published in three volumes, are one of our best sources of knowledge of the times.
