According to a longstanding pious tradition, Associate Pastor Saint Dominic was entrusted with the rosary by Our Blessed Lady herself, [email protected] asking him to promote the devotion among the Christian faithful. We are told Eugene Kummerer, Jr. that Our Blessed Mother appeared to the Spanish friar Saint Dominic de Charley Shallcross Guzman not long after he had founded the Order of Preachers to combat Deacons the heresy of the Albigenses. They say that Saint Dominic was discouraged by the lack of success he and his Dominican friars had among the heretics. Gene Dorgan Our Lady came to the saint to strengthen him in his resolve to win the Retired Deacon Albigensians back to the True Faith and to provide an effective spiritual aid in the battle for truth. Mary supposedly said to Dominic: Kristina Nyberg Music Director “Wonder not that you have obtained so little fruit by your labors, you [email protected] have spent them on barren soil, not yet watered with the dew of Divine Grace. When God willed to renew the face of the earth, He began by Christopher Perez sending down on it the fertilizing rain of the Angelic Salutation. Religious Ed. Director Therefore preach my Psalter composed of 150 Angelic Salutations [email protected] and 15 Our Fathers, and you will obtain an abundant harvest.” Sharon Kells Some would argue that the rosary existed as a pious devotion among Religious Ed. Asst. Director believers for centuries. Beads linked on a cord, often festooned with a cross [email protected] or religious medal were used to count prayers, perhaps the Lord's Prayer Carol Coleman ("Pater noster" or the "Our Father"), perhaps The "Jesus" prayer. These Office Manager holy words were repeated to provide the backdrop for the experience of [email protected] prayer in communion with Mary. Some suggest that the pious practice of unlettered peasants in the field resulted in what has been called Mary's Mary Boss Psalter, an imitation of the psalms found in the Divine Office or Liturgy of Communications the Hours prayed by monks and nuns in their cloisters. Just as the Psalter [email protected] contained the 150 Psalms of the Bible prayed over the course of a four Betty Arena week cycle in monastic communities, so those laboring in the field would Parish Facility Scheduler pray 150 "Pater nosters" and "Ave Marias." Monday & Tuesday Whatever truth is found in the writings of those who have studied the [email protected] religious practices and devotions of those making use of "Mary's Psalter" Barbara Garcia prior to Saint Dominic, their work does not contradict the belief the tradition Sacramental Secretary that Our Lady herself gave the rosary, according to its present form to Saint Monday Evenings & Thursday Dominic. Saint Louis de Montfort and other great saints drew great strength [email protected] and inspiration from the belief in Mary's apparition to Saint Dominic. Pope Leo XIII stated that he believed in the tradition that the rosary was the gift of Jenica Nieves Our Lady to us through Saint Dominic. As we, the people of Our Lady of the Wednesday Rosary seek to develop a greater appreciation and to better understand our [email protected] special patron saint, we certainly want to consider the reflections of those who have gone before us. Pope Francis Global Academy Or, perhaps, we might simply enjoy the beauty of Mary's gift, the rosary, and 6143 W Irving Park allow those beautiful and holy words of the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Chicago, IL 60634-2527 Glory Be to carry our spirit as we contemplate the beautiful mysteries of joy, Phone: 773-736-8806 sorrow, light, and glory!
