St. Padre Pio encouraged praying Rosary often

 St. Padre Pio strongly encouraged praying the Rosary often, calling it a "weapon against evil," and was known to pray many times daily (sometimes 30-40 full Rosaries!), urging everyone, especially his spiritual children, to "Love Our Lady and make her loved. Recite the Rosary and recite it always. And recite it as much as you can". He taught that it's a powerful tool for grace, peace, and drawing close to Jesus through Mary, emphasizing meditating on the mysteries and not getting tired of it, even suggesting starting small and building up if needed. 

Padre Pio's Teachings on the Rosary:

A Powerful Weapon: "The Rosary is the weapon for these times" and a spiritual sword against evil.

Love Mary: "Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today".

Pray it Always: "Always say your Rosary and say it well".

Meditate on Mysteries: "Pay attention to the mysteries. They change at every decade".

Don't Tire: "When you get tired reciting the Rosary, rest a bit, and then restart again".
