How We Pray the Rosaryl 2021 APPOINTMENT CALENDAR evotions Dto Our ady HOW WE PRAY THE ROSARYL THE OFFICIAL CATHOLIC CALENDAR FOR OVER 100 YEARS One hundred percent of the proceeds we raise from our calendars strengthen the presence and mission of the Catholic Church in under-resourced Catholic communities across the United States. How We Pray the Rosary The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain major events or mysteries in the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth and to honor Mary as the mother of Jesus. The Rosary has four sets: Joyful Mysteries, Luminous Mysteries, Sorrowful Mysteries, and Glorious Mysteries. Each set is composed of five events or mysteries of the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth and is recited on designated days of the week. • Begin at the crucifix and pray the Apostles’ Creed. (See February.) • On the next large bead, pray the Our Father. (See March.) • On each of the next three small beads, pray the Hail Mary. (See April.) • Then, pray the Glory Be. (See below.) • Announce the first mystery for that day of the week. (Read more about the mysteries in May, June, July, and August.) • On the large bead pray the Our Father. • On each of the next ten beads pray the Hail Mary. • At the end of each mystery, pray the Glory Be and the Fatima Prayer: Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen • Announce the second mystery for that day of the week and repeat. • To complete the Rosary, pray the Hail, Holy Queen. (See September.)

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Arata: How the Christian Faith Helped World War I Soldiers on the Western Front Cope with Shell-Shock How the Christian Faith Helped World War I Soldiers on the Western Front Cope with Shell-Shock Nicholas Arata The First World War’s extensive use of trench warfare exposed soldiers to some of industrialized war’s greatest horrors. In such a hellish environment, one would think that such horrors would corrupt a soldier’s faith in his Christian beliefs. How could a loving God allow such atrocities to occur? However, not only did faith help countless soldiers through the war, but Christianity helped relieve the symptoms of war neuroses, such as “shell-shock.” Armies across Europe used chaplains to give soldiers a religious guide, and those chaplains provided a religious outlet for the common soldier.

  • The Pietà in Historical Perspective
    The Pietà in historical perspective The Pietà is not a scene that can be found in the Gospels. The Gospels describe Crucifixion (El Greco), Deposition or descent from the Cross (Rubens), Laying on the ground (Epitaphios), Lamentation (Giotto), Entombment (Rogier Van de Weyden) So How did this image emerge? Background one-devotional images • Narrative images from the Gospel, e.g Icon of Mary at foot of cross • Devotional images, where scene is taken out of its historical context to be used for prayer. e.g. Man of Sorrows from Constantinople and print of it by Israhel van Meckenhem. The Pietà is one of a number of devotional images that developed from the 13th century, which went with intense forms of prayer in which the person was asked to imagine themselves before the image speaking with Jesus. It emerged first in the Thuringia area of Germany, where there was a tradition of fine wood carving and which was also open to mysticism. Background two-the position of the Virgin Mary • During the middle ages the position of Mary grew in importance, as reflected in the doctrine of the Assumption (Titian), the image of the coronation of the Virgin (El Greco) • So too did the emphasis on Mary sharing in the suffering of Jesus as in this Mater Dolorosa (Titian) • Further background is provided by the Orthodox image of the threnos which was taken up by Western mystics, and the image of The Virgin of Humility A devotional gap? • So the Pietà, which is not a Gospel scene, started to appear as a natural stage, between the Gospel scenes of the crucifixion smf the deposition or descent from the cross on the one hand, and the stone of annointing, the lamentation, and the burial on the other.

An old nun is trying to make the devotion clear to a young Protestant girl. The enquirer asks: **How can prayers said over and over again like that be any good?" Mistress Margaret was silent for a moment. "I saw young Mrs. Martin last week," she said, '''with her little girl in her lap. She had her arms around her mother's neck, and was being rocked to and fro; and every time she " rocked she said 'Oh, mother.' "But, then," said Isabel, after a moment's silence, "she was only a child." " 'Except ye — " become as little children ' quoted Mistress Margaret softly—"you see, my Isabel, we are nothing more than children with God and His Blessed Mother. To say, 'Hail Mary, Hail Mary,' is the best way of telling her how much we love her.

No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means, and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us, so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass. The Great Governor of the Universe has led us too long and too far on the road to happiness and glory, to forsake us in the midst of it. By folly and improper conduct, proceeding from a variety of causes, we may now and then get bewildered; but I hope and trust that there is good sense and virtue enough left to recover the right path before we shall be entirely lost.” George Washington, June 29, 1788 For the Presidency of the United States of America – The Our Father Before each of the 10 Hail Mary pray - “We plead the Blood of Jesus over ___________ and every soul in that state.” Substitute one of the following states into the blank: Alabama, Arkansas , Connecticut, Georgia, Alaska, California, Delaware, Arizona, Colorado, and Florida.
