\"\"<\/em>The word\u00a0\u201cRosary\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0means a wreath of roses. The Blessed Virgin Mary\u2019s admirers have always liked to decorate Her images with wreaths of flowers, but the Rosary is still a more valuable wreath made of prayers and meditations.<\/p>\n

In tradition, the Mother of God Herself went to see St. Dominic (1170-1221) and taught him the Rosary. In 16th century the Rosary was already wide-spread in the catholic world. Pope Gregory XIII acknowledged the divine origin of the Rosary, and Clement XI put the feast of the Virgin Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary in force. The feast is celebrated on the 7th of October. Leo XIII considered the Rosary to be the most reliable weapons against distresses and difficulties of his time When the Virgin Mary appeared in Fatima in 1917, She named Herself Queen of the Holy Rosary and pressingly asked to recite the prayer<\/p>\n

October 16, 2002 the Apostolic Message by Pope John Paul II added \u201cThe Luminous Mysteries\u201d dedicated to Jesus Christ\u2019s public life to the Holy Rosary.<\/p>\n

The Holy Rosary is the combination of the verbal prayer and the mental one. Carried by means of beads; we meditate on main events of Jesus and Mary\u2019s life and draw an exhortation from them, and we also add the verbal prayers to the meditation on each event: \u201cOur Father\u201d, \u201cHail Mary, full of grace\u201d, \u201cGlory\u201d and especially prayer exclamations.<\/p>\n

The whole Rosary includes twenty events or \u201cmysteries\u201d of which five prayers are joyful (from Jesus Christ\u2019s childhood), five of them are light (from Jesus\u2019s public life and ministry), five are sorrowful ones that concern His suffering and death, and five other prayers are glorious reminding of Jesus and Mary\u2019s eternal glory in heaven. Thus, the Holy Rosary is divided into four parts, each of which contains five themes for meditations called \u201cmysteries\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n4\u00a0Say the “Glory be to the Father.”
\n5 \u00a0Announce the First Mystery; then say the “Our Father.”

“O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.”<\/p>\n

After the Rosary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!<\/p>\n

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
\nR. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
