INTRODUCTION
1. The Rosary of the Virgin Mary, which gradually took form in the second millennium under the guidance of the Spirit of God, is a prayer loved by countless Saints and encouraged by the Magisterium. Simple yet profound, it still remains, at the dawn of this third millennium, a prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of holiness. It blends easily into the spiritual journey of the Christian life, which, after two thousand years, has lost none of the freshness of its beginnings and feels drawn by the Spirit of God to “set out into the deep” (duc in altum!) in order once more to proclaim, and even cry out, before the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour, “the way, and the truth and the life” (Jn 14:6), “the goal of human history and the point on which the desires of history and civilization turn”.(1)
The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christocentric prayer. In the sobriety of its elements, it has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety, of which it can be said to be a compendium.(2) It is an echo of the prayerof Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb. With the Rosary, the Christian people sits at the school of Mary and is led to contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of his love. Through the Rosary the faithful receive abundant grace, as though from the very hands of the Mother of the Redeemer. (CLICK TO CONTINUE READING.)

Have you consecrated yourself to The Virgin Mary or to St. Joseph? Is it time to renew your consecration? The original program, True Devotion to Mary, was written by St. Louis Marie de Montfort in the 1700s, and is considered the greatest book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever written. It has been recommended and practiced by eight Popes. The next, Totus Tuus, the papal motto of Pope St. John Paul II, means “Totally Yours” and is a collection of excerpts from scripture and this beloved Saint’s encyclicals. Finally, 33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr. Michael Gaitley, is a summary of the teachings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Pope John Paul II. Finally, Consecration to St. Joseph was written by Fr. Donald Calloway. (Contact us for links to 33 videos we produced.) No matter which you choose to follow, your life will be greatly blessed.
