In this episode, Patrick Coffin unpacks the rich spiritual, historical, and biblical foundations of the holy Rosary—a powerful weapon of grace and meditation that has shaped saints and changed history.
💎 Origin and History:
• Traces back to the 13th century, promoted by St. Dominic, founder of the Dominicans. • Strengthened through the preaching of the Albigensian heresy.
• Later promoted by Blessed Alan de la Roche, reviving the practice in the 15th century. 🕊️ Saints and Champions of the Rosary:
• St. Louis de Montfort: Called it the greatest tool for growing in holiness.
• Pope St. Pius V: Credited the victory at the Battle of Lepanto (1571) to the Rosary.
• Padre Pio: Called the Rosary his "weapon."
📖 The Rosary in Scripture:
• While not found as a single formula, the Rosary is deeply biblical:Hail Mary draws from Luke 1:28, 42.
• Our Father from Matthew 6:9–13.
• The mysteries reflect key Gospel events.
🌟 The Four Sets of Mysteries:
• Joyful: Focus on Christ’s Incarnation (e.g., Annunciation, Nativity).
• Sorrowful: Meditate on His Passion (e.g., Agony in the Garden, Crucifixion).
• Glorious: Reflect on Resurrection and heavenly glory (e.g., Ascension, Coronation).
• Luminous: Added by St. John Paul II in 2002; highlight Christ’s public ministry (e.g., Baptism, Transfiguration).
⛪ Why the Rosary Makes Saints:
• It forms a habit of mental prayer and meditation on the life of Christ.
• It deepens one’s love for Mary, who always leads us to Jesus. • Helps conquer sin through consistent, focused prayer.
• A daily Rosary is a spiritual powerhouse and a proven path to holiness.

| 0:00.0 | Before I talk about the Rosary and how to pray it and some thoughts about the origin of the rosary and why it's such an important part of the Christian life, I want to mention the True North movement. |
| 0:08.1 | If you click on the link in the bio, you can find out what Catholics around the world are discovering about this digital community that's focused on the truth, the gospel without compromise. |
| 0:17.8 | That's the kind of the symbol of True North. |
| 0:19.9 | It's our pole star, it's our reliable |
| 0:22.6 | foundation, as opposed to magnetic north, which is by definition fake and deceptive. So click the |
| 0:29.1 | link we'd love to learn from you and find out what folks in 20 different countries are learning |
| 0:33.0 | every single day. The rosary is one of those Catholic distinctives that people outside the church, |
| 0:38.0 | and if you're kind of a lukewarm Catholic, or if you are not raised with some of the rich |
| 0:42.8 | traditions, you might look askance at the rosary. You might think, why the vain repetition? |
| 0:48.9 | Why do you need to pray these Hail Mary's and our fathers over and over again? Well, let's |
| 0:53.7 | start with that objection against the rosary. |
| 0:56.0 | If the rosary is guilty of vain repetition, |
| 0:59.1 | then the angels who praise God in heaven are also guilty of vain repetition. |
| 1:05.7 | In the book of Revelation and also in some of the prophets, |
| 1:08.3 | the angels are often depicted saying, holy, holy, holy. |
| 1:12.3 | That's the triple praising of God. |
| 1:15.0 | Why couldn't they just say, holy? |
| 1:17.4 | Why two more holies? |
| 1:18.6 | Isn't that vain repetition? |
| 1:20.9 | What wife resents her husband for telling her he loves her many times through the day? |
| 1:26.6 | Oh, honey, that's vain repetition. |
| 1:28.6 | Doesn't make sense. |
