Special prayer

The Holy Rosary is “the compendium of the whole Gospel”, said Pope Pius XII; it is the most beautiful summary of the history of salvation. Those who know the Rosary know the Gospel, know the life of Jesus and Mary, know their own path and eternal destiny. Pope Paul VI in the document “For the worship of the Blessed Virgin”, explicitly noted “the evangelical nature of the Rosary”, which puts the soul in direct contact with the genuine source of faith and salvation. He also noted “the distinctly Christological orientation” of the Rosary, which revives the mysteries of the Incarnation and Redemption operated by Jesus with Mary, to the salvation of man. Quite rightly, Pope Paul VI also renews the recommendation never to miss, in the recitation of the Rosary, the contemplation of mysteries: “without it the Rosary is a body without a soul, and its recitation risks becoming mechanical repetition of formulas …. ” On the contrary, the Rosary fills souls with vitality who know how to do, in the recital, “the joy of the messianic times, the salvific pain of Christ, the glory of the risen that floods the Church” (Marialis cultus, 44-49). If man’s life is a continuous intertwining of hopes, sorrows and joys, in the Rosary it finds its most perfect collocation of grace: Our Lady helps to assimilate our life to that of Jesus, just as she did that she shared every offering, every suffering, every glory of the Son. If man has so much need of mercy, the Rosary gets it to him with the plea always repeated to each Ave Maria: “Holy Mary … pray for us sinners …”; he also receives it with the gift of holy indulgence, which can be plenary once a day, if the Rosary is recited before the Blessed Sacrament. Sacrament or in common (in the family, at school, in a group …), as long as one is confessed and communicated. The Rosary is a treasure of mercy placed by the Church in the hands of every believer. Don’t be wasted!
