For Questions, Call Pamela Zell: 715-359-7072 These are the 15 Promises that the Blessed Virgin Mary gave to Saint Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche, saying "Whatever you ask in the Rosary will be granted." 1. To all those who shall recite my Rosary devoutly, I promise my special protection and very great graces. 2. Those who shall persevere in the recitation of my Rosary shall receive some signal grace. 3. The Rosary shall 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 substitute in hearts love of God for love of the world, and will lift them to the desire of heavenly and eternal things. How many souls shall sanctify themselves by this means! 5. Those who trust themselves to me through the Rosary, shall not perish. 6. Those who shall recite my Rosary devoutly, meditating on its mysteries, shall not be overwhelmed by misfortune. The sinner shall be converted; the just shall grow in grace and become worthy of eternal life. 7. Those truly devoted to my Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. 8. Those who recite my Rosary shall find during their life and at their death the light of God, the fullness of His graces, and shall share in the merits of the blessed. 9. I shall deliver very promptly from purgatory the souls devoted to my Rosary. 10. The true children of my Rosary shall enjoy great glory in heaven. 11. What you ask through my Rosary, you shall obtain. 12. Those who propagate my Rosary shall be aided by me in all their necessities. 13. I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have for their brethren the saints of heaven during their life and at the hour of death. 14. Those who recite my Rosary faithfully are all my beloved children, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. 15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. 2

"Love needs time and space; everything else is secondary. Time is needed to talk things over, to embrace leisurely, to share plans, to listen to one another and gaze in each other's eyes, to appreciate one another and to build a stronger relationship. Sometimes the frenetic pace of our society and the pressures of the workplace create problems. At other times, the problem is the lack of quality time together, sharing the same room without one even noticing the other." Pope Francis Living together is an art and can be a beautiful journey. Marriage can be challenging with family, work, finances, kids, busy schedules and all that life offers. Losing focus on what is important in life is easy. A Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend experience focuses on what s important in your marriage and provides the tools to live a beautiful journey together. Who is it for? Any married couple that desires a richer, fuller life together. Who presents the weekend experience? 3 Catholic Couples & a Priest. Is there group sharing? No, the series of presentations are followed by a couple s time for discernment and discussion in the privacy of their room. How is a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend experience different? It isn t a retreat, group therapy or marriage counseling. The weekend experience provides a quiet, meditative environment for couples to focus on one another and their relationship. How much does a weekend experience cost? At the end of the weekend you will be asked to prayerfully consider contributing what you can to help cover the cost of the weekend and to make the weekend possible for others.
