has hitherto been regarded as the best definition of the Rosary, which gave the Pope St. Pius V in his "Bull" in 1569: "The Rosary, or Psalter of the Blessed. Lady, is a pious way of prayer, to everyone who is going to repeat the greeting that the angel gave Mary the Lord's Prayer interposing between each ten Hail Marys and trying to go while meditating in the Life of Our Lord. "El Rosario consisted of 15 Our Fathers and 150 Hail Marys in memory of the 150 Psalms. Now there are 20 Our Fathers and 200 Hail Marys, to include the mysteries of light. ;
The word Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say the Hail Mary are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary will makes a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions, and therefore the most important of all.
The Rosary is composed of two elements: mental prayer and verbal prayer.
In the Holy Rosary mental prayer is none other than meditation on the mysteries or major life events, death and glory of Jesus Christ and his Blessed Mother. These twenty mysteries are divided into four groups: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious.
verbal prayer consists in reciting fifteen decades (Rosario complete) or five decades of Hail Mary each decade headed by an Our Father, while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary.
The Holy Church received the Rosary in its present form in the year 1214 in a miraculous way, when Our Lady appeared to St. Dominic and deliver it as a powerful weapon conversion of heretics and other sinners of the time. Since then the devotion spread rapidly around the world with incredible and miraculous results.
Among the various forms and ways of honoring the Mother of God, choosing why they are best in themselves and more pleasant to her, is the Holy Rosary which occupies the preeminent place. It is worth remembering that among the various apparitions of the Blessed Virgin, she always insisted on the Recitation of the Rosary. This is how, for example, the May 13, 1917 in a village in Portugal called Cova da Iria, the Blessed Virgin insists vehemently pray the Rosary to three shepherd children in one of his many appearances at these three visionaries.
As a sacrament, the Holy Rosary contains the principal mysteries of our Catholic religion, which nourishes and sustains faith, elevates the mind to the divinely verdadades revealed, invites us to conquer the eternal homeland, increases the devotion of the faithful, promotes and strengthens the virtues. The Rosary is high in dignity and effectiveness, could be said that prayer is easier for the simple and humble of heart, is the most special prayers go to our Mother to intercede for us before the throne of God.
El Santo Rosario extends the liturgical life of the Church but does not replace the contrary enriches and invigorates the liturgy. This is why the Holy Rosary as a prayer falls within popular religiosity that contains a great treasure of wisdom volar Christian responds with to the great questions of existence.
The Latin American people are deeply Mariano, recognizes a large Catholic wisdom, we come to Jesus as Savior through his Blessed Mother Mary and from the same time of discovery and Conquest of America, generated a great devotion to the Virgin Mary, in which our peoples have always looked motherly face who brought us salvation and the first explicit statement of the Queen of Heaven on American soil, with face and figure Women's mestiza, Mexico, grew even greater love and devotion to it in all English speaking countries, recognizing it as our own Mother, full of love, mercy and pity for their children. Feeling that is directly related to the origin of the divine motherhood, Mary is the Mother of God the Redeemer is also truly the Mother of all members of Christ, because she collaborated with her love were born in the church, believers, members of that head is Christ.
The passage of time, custom modern and innovative forms of prayer, can not put aside the recitation of the Holy Rosary. In fact, the Fathers and the Saints had a deep devotion to this sacrament, we as Catholics and as lovers of the Queen of Heaven we must be ardent devotees of the Rosary. It is worth remembering that the family that prays together stays together, that pious and conscious recitation of the Holy Rosary, we bring peace to the soul and unite us more closely with Maria to live authentically our Christianity .
