How should we interpret this quote from Pope Pius XI?

I just read a quote from Pope Pius XI:

“If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.”

(common in Catholic pages about praying the Rosary such as here, here, here, and here as well as pamphlets on the Rosary such as here)

Has the Church provided a way for us to interpret such a statement? I doubt that Pope Pius XI meant that unless you pray the Rosary you are not a very spiritual person. I think we must look at the context of the quote.

The Church has made many statements that must be interpreted such as "baptism is necessary for salvation", but at the same time there is no teaching saying that you cannot enter Heaven without being baptized. People have told me that we must look at the context in which the Church said something. How should we interpret this statement from Pope Pius XI?
