Deepertruth: The Warriors Rosary, Davids smooth stones to Mary's Rosary

1. Whosoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

The Philistines rallied their forces for battle at Socoh in Judah and camped between Socoh and Azekah at Ephes-dammim.  Saul and the Israelites rallied and camped in the valley of the Elah, drawing up their battle line to meet the Philistines.  The Philistines were stationed on one hill and the Israelites on an opposite hill, with a valley between them.  1 Samuel 17:1-3

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

A champion named Goliath of Gath came out from the Philistine camp; he was six cubits and a span* tall.  He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a bronze breastplate of scale armor weighing five thousand shekels, bronze greaves, and had a bronze scimitar slung from his shoulders.  1 Samuel 17:4-6

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.

The shaft of his javelin was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron head weighed six hundred shekels.* His shield-bearer went ahead of him.  He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel: “Why come out in battle formation? I am a Philistine, and you are Saul’s servants. Choose one of your men, and have him come down to me.  If he beats me in combat and kills me, we will be your vassals; but if I beat him and kill him, you shall be our vassals and serve us.”  1 Samuel 17:7-9
