The Mysteries of The Holy Rosary: Joyful; Sorrowful; Glorious.

It was the custom in The Middle Ages, as formerly among the Romans, for noble personages to wear Crowns of Flowers, called "Chaplets". These Crowns were offered to persons of distinction, as a Feudal Due.

The Blessed Virgin, as Queen of Heaven, and of Souls, has a right to the same homage. Therefore, The Church asks us to recognise the Title of Mary as Queen of The Holy Rosary, and she exhorts us to to offer to her, as Daughter of The Father, Mother of The Son, and Spouse of The Holy Ghost, a Triple Chaplet, or Three Crowns of Roses, of which she shows us all the beauties in today's Office, and to which she has given the name of "Rosary".

The Collect reminds us that the recitation of The Rosary is a mental Prayer, in which we meditate on The Mysteries of The Life, Death, and Resurrection, of Jesus; with these, Mary was intimately associated.

The Gospel, which gives us the chief part of the Angelic Salutation, shows us that The Rosary is a vocal Prayer. The Pater, Credo, and Gloria, which are recited with the Ave Marias, are also found in The Mass or in The Divine Office.

The Rosary, as a private Devotion, consists therefore of elements taken from The Liturgical Cycle, and The Feast of The Rosary forms part of The Cycle.

This Prayer has, in the course of the Centuries, obtained many Graces for Christendom. The Feast of Our Lady of The Rosary was instituted to Commemorate the Victory of Lepanto (Sunday, 7 October 1571), when, thanks to the recitation of The Rosary, the forces of Islam, which threatened to invade Europe, were broken. Pope Gregory XIII, in 1573, prescribed this Feast, replacing very significantly The Feast of Our Lady of Victory, for certain Churches; it was extended to the Catholic World by Pope Clement XI, in thanksgiving for another triumph over the same foes in Hungary in 1716, under the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI.

The Feast of The Most Holy Rosary is a summary of The Liturgical Year, as we meditate on The Mysteries, and also of The Breviary, as we recite one hundred and fifty Ave Marias, corresponding to one hundred and fifty Psalms, ending with Gloria Patri.

It shows, in an admirable Triptych, the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious events in the lives of Jesus and Mary, which are recalled in succession in The Catholic Calendar.

In The Christmas Cycle, the Soul, plunged in an atmosphere of Joy, meditates on The Five Joyful Mysteries, on Wednesdays and Fridays of Ember Week in Winter, on Christmas Day, on 2 February (The Purification of The Blessed Virgin Mary) and on The Sunday in The Octave of The Epiphany.

Again, she Contemplates, during The Season of The Passion, The Five Sorrowful Mysteries, on Holy Thursday and Good Friday.

Lastly, she sympathises, amid the Joys of The Paschal Season and Pentecost, with The Five Glorious Mysteries at The Feasts of Easter, Ascension, Pentecost and The Assumption of The Virgin. There is a Plenary Indulgence, similar to that of the Portiuncula, to be gained on The Day of this Feast by all The Faithful, who visit a Church where the Arch-Confraternity of The Rosary is established.

Blessed Pope Leo XIII, moved by the sorrowful trials under which The Church groans, raised the Feast to one of The Second Class, with a new Mass and Office.

Mass: Gaudeámus omnes in Dómino.

Saint Bruno was born at Cologne, Germany, in the 11th-Century. With six of his friends, he retired to one of the desert heights of Dauphiny, France, called "Chartreuse", which had been conceded to them by the Bishop of Grenoble (Gospel).

There, he Founded the first Monastery of The Order of Carthusians, which is held in so high esteem by The Church that, by the prescriptions of Canon Law, the Religious of any other Order may enter it so as to lead a more perfect life. [The Order of Carthusians has given to The Church several Saints, two Cardinals, seventy Archbishops and Bishops, and several famous writers, one of the most distinguished being Dionysius the Carthusian.]

Saint Bruno died, pressing The Crucifix to his lips, on 6 October 1101.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

Bruno of Cologne (1030 – 1101) was the Founder of The Carthusian Order and personally Founded The Order's first two Communities. He was a celebrated Teacher at Reims, and a close advisor of his former pupil, Pope Urban II.

On the verge of being made Bishop, Bruno instead followed a Vow he had made to renounce Secular Concerns and withdrew, along with two of his friends, Raoul and Fulcius, also Canons of Reims.

Bruno's first thought on leaving Reims seems to have been to place himself and his companions under the direction of an eminent Solitary, Saint Robert, who had recently (1075) settled at Sèche-Fontaine, near Molesme, in the Diocese of Langres, France, together with a band of other Hermits, who were later on (in 1098) to form The Cistercian Order.

But he soon found that this was not his Vocation. After a short stay, he went with six of his companions to Saint Hugh of Châteauneuf, Bishop of Grenoble. The Bishop, according to the pious legend, had recently had a vision of these men, under a Chaplet of Seven Stars, and he installed them in 1084 in a mountainous and uninhabited spot in the Lower Alps of the Dauphiné, France, in a place named Chartreuse, not far from Grenoble. With Saint Bruno, were Landuin, Stephen of Bourg, and Stephen of Die, Canons of Saint Rufus, and Hugh the Chaplain, and two Laymen, Andrew and Guerin, who afterwards became the first Lay Brothers.

They built a an Oratory, with small individual Cells, at a distance from each other, where they lived isolated and in poverty, entirely occupied in Prayer and Study; for these men had a reputation for Learning, and were frequently honoured by the visits of Saint Hugh, who became like one of themselves.

Pray For Priests.

Text is taken from CATHOLIC ANSWERS

From: In Sinu Jesu, The Journal of a Priest.

Originally seen at VULTUS CHRISTI

Reparation Is the Exercise of Love

Be for Me another John,

a friend for My Heart,

a consoler in My loneliness,

an advocate on behalf of poor sinners

and, especially on behalf of fallen Priests,

and of those who have lost hope in My infinite mercy.

Be a companion for Me in the Sacrament of My Love,

the Sacrament of My Divine Companionship for every human wayfarer

in this valley of tears.

I remain unknown.

I am left alone.

Even those who claim to profess

the mystery of My Real Presence

in the Sacrament of the Altar

forsake Me.

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

I am treated with a terrible indifference,

with coldness,

and with a lack of respect

that causes the Angels to weep

because they cannot offer me reparation

for the coldness and indifference of human hearts.

Only men can make reparation for men.

What is lacking is the loving response of a human heart

to My Eucharistic Heart,

pierced, alive, and beating in the Sacrament of the Altar.

Only a human heart can make reparation for a human heart.

Alter Christus.

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

For this reason the Angels are sorrowful.

The adoration and the praise they offer Me is Angelic.

It is the expression of the perfections I have placed

in their Angelic nature.

Without ever dying, they immolate themselves before Me,

in the Tabernacles where I dwell on Earth,

by lowering themselves in the most humble Adoration

and by placing all their Angelic perfections

--their beauty, their strength, their intelligence--

beneath My feet.

The Angels are like living flames

who burn in My Eucharistic presence

without ever being consumed.

Saint Joseph with Jesus.

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

For all of this, My Angels cannot replace

a single human heart in My presence.

What I look for from men,

what I wait for, above all, from My Priests,

My Angels cannot give Me.

And so I turned to Saint John to comfort Me;

to love when the love of others grew cold;

to hope in Me when the trust of others was shaken;

to remain faithful to Me when the faith of others was put to the test.

The Sorrowful Heart of Mary.
Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

John was, among The Apostles, My loving friend,

My Adorer, the one who understood the mystery of reparation to My Heart.

John made reparation for Peter's denial of Me,

not by standing in judgment over Peter,

whom he honoured and loved as a father,

but by weeping with Peter,

and by offering himself in reparation for Peter's fall.

The Charge to Saint Peter from Jesus Christ.

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

Again, it was John who offered Me faithful love

in exchange for Judas' faithless betrayal.

He made reparation to My Heart that suffered so grievously

when Judas walked out of The Cenacle into the night.

In that moment, John gave Me all the love of his heart,

begging Me to accept it

in reparation for Judas' cold and calculated plot against Me.

The Flagellation of Christ.

Artist: William Bouguereau.

1880.

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

Be another Saint John for My Heart.

Offer Me reparation by offering Me yourself

in the place of those who flee from before My Eucharistic Face;

in the place of those who cannot bear to remain

in My presence, close to My Heart;

in the place of those Priests of Mine

who have time for all else save for Me.

Christ Blessing The Children.

Artist: Nicholaes Maes (1634-1693).

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

Give Me your companionship,

give Me your confidence,

give Me your grateful affection.

Let nothing keep you from carrying out this design of Mine.

One who makes reparation for My Priests

will discover on The Last Day

that his own sins, though they be many,

will be covered over by a single act of reparation,

for reparation is the exercise of love,

and love covers a multitude of sins.

The Betrayal of Christ.

Artist: Francisco Zarillo (1707-1783).

Illustration: CATHOLIC TRADITION

Love Me, and you will fulfill all that I am asking of you.

Love Me, and I will fulfill all that you ask of Me. . . .

I desire a company of Johannine Souls, Priest Adorers and Reparators,

and upon them I will pour out Rivers of Grace

for the renewal of My Priesthood

and the joy of My Spouse, The Church.

(The following Text is from The Douai-Rheims Bible).

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

O Lord, for I am Thy servant: I am Thy servant, and the son of Thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

In the courts of the house of The Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
