THE ORIGIN OF THE ROSARY
The Holy Rosary had been in use all through the centuries from the time of the apostles and the disciples till now, since it is composed of Christ's prayer and Angelic salutation, that is Our Father and Hail Mary. It is even the first prayer of the faithful.
But in the year 1214 the Holy Rosary as it is now and according to the method we use today came to us through Saint Dominic who received it from our Blessed Mother Virgin Mary as a powerful means of converting the Albigensians and other sinners.
This is how he received it as it is in the very well known book "De Dignitate Psaltari by Blessed Alande la Roche
1" Saint Dominic seeing that the people's sin were too much and that it hinders the conversion of the Albigensians withdrew into the forest near 'Toulouse' where he prayed seriously for three days and three nights. During this period, he always weep and do serious penance in order to reduce the anger of the Almighty God. The penance he did was too much to the extent that his body was not like human being's body. At last he fall into a coma.
At this point our Lady followed by three Angels appeared to him, she said "Dear Dominic do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world?" Saint Dominic answered. You know far better than I do because next to Your Son Jesus Christ You have always been the chief instrument of our salvation".
Then our Lady replied, "I want you to know that in this kind of warfare, the weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter which is the foundation stone of the New testament. There, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter"
So he arose comfortably and burning with zeal for the conversion of the people in that district, he made straight to the Cathedral. At once unseen Angels rang the bell to gather the people together and saint Dominic began to preach.
To be continued. . .
Re: The Holy Rosary Is A Powerful Prayer by grailife(m): 1:05am On Oct 04, 2010
2" At the beginning of his sermon an appaling storm broke out, the earth shook, the sun was darkenend and there was so much thunder and lightening that all were very much afraid. Even greater was their fear when looking at a picture of our Lady exposed in a prominent place. They saw Her raise Her arms to heaven three times to call down God's vengeance upon them if they failed to be converted to amend their lives and seek the protection of the Holy Mother of God.
God wished by means of this supernatural phenomenon to spread the new devotion of the Holy Rosary and to make it more widely known.
At last at the prayer of Saint Dominic the storm came to an end and he went on preaching. So fervently and compelling did he explain the importance and value of the Holy Rosary that almost all the people of Toulouse embraced it and renounced their false beliefs, in a very short time a great improvement was seen in the town. People began living christian lives and gave up their former bad habits. Saint Dominic preached the Holy Rosary for the rest of his life. He preached it by his examples as well as by his sermons, in cities and in country places, to people of high status and low, before scholars and the uneducated, to Catholics and to Heretics.
So my dear brothers and sisters, in the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary who gave us the Holy Rosary for prayer and in the name of Jesus Christ Her Son, I beg, let us be praying the Holy Rosary all the time in our life time. It will help us to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. Let us remember that the Holy Scripture said that we should be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect ( Mt. 5.48 ). So to reach that perfection the bible is talking about, we should pray the Holy Rosary with all the sincerity of our spirit, heart and body. Our mind should be contemplating the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary. Let us not think that we cannot do it, because, difficult things are done by human beings. If we shall be remembering always that difficult things are done by human beings, we shall be more serious to put more effort in praying the Holy Rosary. We shall also have strong faith in God and also pray for His grace and mercy. If we do as stated, we shall see that to pray Holy Rosary is not difficult instead it is as sweet as honey and it does wonders. Let us remember also that the bible said "with God all things are possible" ( Mark 10:27 ).
So let us be moving forward in praying the Holy Rosary and other prayers also in doing good things. Let us not fall back, if we are always on, God will grant us our petitions, and our Lady will be interceding for us.
So Do Not Wast Time Any Longer
There Is No Time Any More
Start It Today.

@grailife
My brother i tell you this day that there was no time Jesus gave us his mother while on earth to be our mediator. He is the only way to God Almighty. He is the only mediator between God Almighty and Man. Remember what He said about anybody trying to get to Father through other means.
why not pray to God Almighty through Jesus instead of reciting all over prayer laid down be men with their tradition even before you were born.

The word of God is very clear on this, pray to God Almighty with a genuine heart through Jesus Christ who is the only way to the Father. smiley

The more we honor the Blessed Virgin, the more we honor Jesus Christ, because we honor Mary only that we may the more perfectly honor Jesus, since we go to her only as the way by which we are to find the end we are seeking, which is Jesus.

John 19 vs 26 : 27
Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, so he said to his mother, "He is your son."
Then he said to the disciple, "She is your mother." From that time the disciple took her to live in his home.

What is the position of God Almighty in your life?
Jesus said that He is the only way through which God Almighty is sought and found. Jesus is the only Mediator between God and man. i am surprised that you did not include God Almighty in this post. Remember also our Lord's prayer. Jesus while teaching his disciples how to pray, did not include the name of those who died in God before Him. He went straight to the Father by saying Our Father Who Art in Heaven,

i think you will be on the right track if you can only honour Jesus Christ and God Almighty and pray to God Almighty through Jesus Christ without cutting corners to seek Jesus Christ.


peace be unto you.

The wedding in Cana.
John 2 vs 1 : 12.
Two days later there was a wedding in the town of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine had given out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine left."
"You must not tell me what to do," Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."
Jesus' mother then told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
The Jews have rules about ritual washing, and for this purpose six stone water jars were there, each one large enough to hold about a hundred litres, Jesus said to the servants, "Fill these jars with water." They filled them to the brim, and then he told them, "Now draw some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast." They took him the water, which now had turned into wine, and he tasted it . He did not know where this wine had come from ( but, of course, the servants who had drawn out the water knew ), so he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone else serves the best wine first, and afterthe guest have had plenty to drink, he serves the ordinary wine. But you have kept the best wine until now!"
Jesus performed this first miracle in Cana in Galilee, there he revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. After this, Jesus and his mother, brothers, and disciples went to capernaum and stayed there a few days.

Prayer to the Angel Guardian.
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom his love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Micheal.
Saint Micheal the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle, be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

coolGod i am worried!
you see the hypocrisy that Jesus detest so much.Jesus himself said no one can get to the father except through me-this is Jesus's statement. fast forward to Nigeria today-a guy is insisting one need to go through Mary to get Jesus's attention. Even an illiterate when shown the options would know that he did prefer to go thru Jesus. What a dogmatic jam bordering on cultism cool
Pls when Jesus finally deliver you, do come back and let us know so that we can do a thanks giving service with you. yesua huwa ibnu Allahu.shukran grin

grailife has refused to answer my question of God's position in his life. Is he worshiping Jesus through Mary or vice versa.
Jesus himself told us to seek the Father through Him (Jesus) but you see, man and his tradition, they have chosen to relegate God Almighty due to their ignorance of the word of God.

please grailife, there is only one God and one mediator between God and man - Jesus Christ. Jesus did not seek His Father through Mary, Angels or any other means and He did not tell us to seek Him (Jesus) through Mary or Angels rather He said that we should seek God Almighty through Him (Jesus).

This your way of worship is not biblical at all and please stop this Roman tradition!

Job 33:23
"Yet if there is an angel on his side as a mediator, one out of a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him.

Galatians 3:19
What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.

Galatians 3:20
A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one.


But who is that Mediator. . . . .

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

I can not blame you for being where you are, maybe for the fact that you were born into it and it has really become your tradition but if you sincerely wanna seek God, you can pray for him to open your eyes to know the truth about him, The kind of zeal you have for God is really tremendous but quite a pity it's wrongly channeled, how can you be praying to angels and the so called saints if you read your Bible very well from Genesis to Revelation you can never see any command from Jesus for such practices. I can equally help you in prayers so that God can speak to your heart.

bros, Jesus neva told us to seek Him thru Mary rather He told us to seek the Father thru Him (Jesus). The tithe u mentioned can neva be the way to God Almighty but Jesus is. I know this is too hard for u to understand just as a muslem will find it difficult to understand that his religion supports violence. Continuing studying ur bible,one day God will open ur eyes to see the truth.

PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH
To Thee, O Blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction and having implored the help of Thy thrice holy Spouse, we now, with hearts filled with confidence, earnestly beg Thee also to take us under Thy protection. By that charity, where with Thou wert united to the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God, and by that Fatherly love, with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, we beseech Thee and we humbly pray thou wilt look down with gracious eyes upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His Blood, and wilt succor us in our need by Thy power and strength.
Defend, O most watchful guardian of The Holy Family, the chosen offspring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, most viliant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness, and even as of old, thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the peril of His life, so now defend God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us ever under Thy patronage, that, imitating Thy example and strenghtened by Thy help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain everlasting blis in Heaven. Amen.
