FOREWORD

EolSarp l5obena£i

R
osary Novenas for the use of the faith-

^ful conform with the wish of the Holy

See, and are recommended for private use

and for public devotions in the Church.

The prayers here arranged are gathered

from approved sources. Through the use of

the Holy Rosary may they revive great

confidence and courage in the hearts of the

faithful. Renewed fervor in the daily recita-

tion of the Rosary beads will fulfill the

hopes of His Holiness Pius XI expressed in

his Encyclical Letter of September 29, 1937

which reads:

'*When we receive in audience newly-mar-

ried couples and speak to them as a father^

We not only give them a Rosary^ earnestly

recommending them to use ity but We ask

them to follow Our own example and not

to allow even one day to go by without

saying the Rosary^ no matter how bur-

dened they may be with many cares and

labors”

The Joyful Mystery : . . Number 2

THE VISITATION

The Virgin visits her cousin Elizabeth, the

expectant mother of John the Baptist. The pre-

sanctified Baptist leaped in his mother’s womb

at the approach of his Incarnate God.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF

THE ROSARY

S
INCE Our Lord chose the Garden of Olives as

a place for prayer, Christians have associ-

ated prayer with the reflective quiet of a garden.

Thus we see monasteries designed with a cloister

garth or garden. The faithful have long asso-

ciated the telling of Our Lady’s beads with the

weaving of wreaths of roses from Mary’s garden.

Hence the Latin word for rose-garland, rosarium^

has been accepted as the most descriptive term

for the saying of the definite series of prayer

decades (one Pater and ten Aves) accompanied

by reflections on the five joyful, the five sorrowful

and the five glorious mysteries of the lives of

Jesus and Mary—which prayer we call the Most

Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In her apparitions to St. Bernadette at Lourdes

the Blessed Mother of God appeared with golden

roses ornamenting her feet, while at the opening

of the grotto a single rosebush flowered. This

adornment of Mary with golden roses, and the

growing of the wild rosebush beside the miracu-

lous spring of pure water, seem to be marks of

approval of the devotion of the Holy Rosary. In

telling his beads the rosarian may be likened to

the rose grower who walks observantly along his

garden paths and admires in turn each beautiful

bloom. He thoughtfully picks and then carefully

arranges each choice blossom, twining the thorny

stems into a wreath which he places on the head

of the Queen who is indeed the Help of Chris-

tians, Our Lady of the Rosary. Although the

complete Rosary consists of fifteen decades and

7



The Joyful Mystery . . . Number 3

THE NATIVITY

The Word that from all eternity had proceeded

from the Father is born a mortal Infant of a

Virgin Mother.

8



mysteries, each five decades is called a chaplet or

wreath. It is interesting to note that in the

Rosary apparitions both at Lourdes, France, in

1858, and at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, Our

Lady recited the usual five decades with the

favored children of the Holy Spirit to whom

she chose to appear.

Rosarians, as children of their Mother, Mary,

like to w'alk and speak with Christ in the beauti-

ful pathways of Our Lady’s rose garden. In medi-

tating on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, our

souls are kindled by the spiritual beauty which

they reveal. Roses, pure white as springtime

blossoms, remind us of the Child Christ and of

His Mother, the most favored of all mothers.

Here, too, in Mary’s lovely garden bloom red

roses like the Redeemer’s Blood. Then again, the

golden glow of yellow roses tells us of the Resur-

rection of Christ and of the glories of Our Heav-

enly Queen. The effect of the fresh roses lies in the

power of their simple beauty to arouse us to love

true and real loveliness. Thus meditation on the

mysteries of the Holy Rosary inflames our soul

to draw near to the personalities of Jesus and of

Mary; holy comfort and thoughts of eternity will

accompany us on life’s weary way if we thus use

our spiritual rosary to keep us near to Jesus

through Mary.

“The Rosary,” then, is a form of prayer wherein

we say fifteen decades of ten Hail Marys, each

preceded by an Our Father, and during each of

these fifteen decades we piously meditate in a

mood of loving yearning upon one of the mys-

teries of our Redemption.

No Catholic custom is better suited to heal

9



The Joyful Mystery . . . Number 4

THE PRESENTATION OF THE
CHILD JESUS

The Child is presented in the Temple, the

Lawgiver obeys the Law, here the Redeemer

offers himself and is redeemed by the offering of

the poor.

10



family troubles, to unite quarrelling partners, to

instill love and obedience in the souls of children,

to invoke health for the sick, to obtain rest for

the souls in purgatory, than the recitation of five

decades of Our Lady’s Rosary—especially in the
intimacy of the family circle. This custom is asso-

ciated with the family meal in the evening, which

is usually the most convenient time to assemble

the greatest number of members. Shortly after

the evening table is left, the father or the mother

simply says. Let us say the rosary.

The Fifteen Saturdays devotion consists in re-

ceiving Holy Communion on fifteen consecutive

Saturdays (or Sundays) in commemoration of

the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, with the

intention of honoring Jesus and Mary, and of

obtaining through Mary’s intercession the grace

of a happy death, and whatever other special

favor we may desire. One should also pray for the

Pope’s intentions, for the conversion of sinners,

the propagation of the Faith, and for the souls

in Purgatory.

This devotion of fifteen Saturdays can be

practised at any time during the year, either with

the intention of obtaining some special favors, or

as an act of thanksgiving, or from pure devotion,

and when ended, may be begun again immedi-

ately. It is often made as a preparation for the

Festival of the Rosary, which falls on the 7th of

October. If the external solemnity be celebrated

on the first Sunday of October the indulgence will

be gained on that day. Those who cannot conse-

crate Saturday to our Blessed Lady may practise

this devotion on Sunday and gain the same

Indulgences.

11



The Joyful Mystery . . . Number 5

THE FINDING OF THE CHILD JESUS
IN THE TEMPLE

Now the joyful Mother finds her Son Whom

she had already mourned as lost; finds Him ex-

pounding to learned minds things they did not

know.

and wilt succor us in our need by thy power and

strength.

Defend, 0 most watchful guardian of the Holy

Family, the chosen offspringofJesus Christ. Keep

from us, 0 most loving Father, all blight of error
and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant

defender in this conflict with the powers of dark-

ness. 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

sin calls me away from God, may I be mindful of

press deeply upon me the memory of my Saviour

and His Thorn-Crowned Head. When my feet

ROSARY OF FATIMA

NOVENA PRAYERS

Recite five decades of the Rosary.

The Invocations (see pages 17-19) of Our

Lady, Queen of the Rosary of Fatima, are daily

recited for the Rosary Novena after the recita-

tion of the five decades of the beads. At the

Fatima after the Gloria of each decade this

ejaculation: “0 my Jesus, forgive us! Save us
from the fires of Hell. Relieve the Souls in Purga-

tory, especially the most abandoned,” is added.

33



SOMj: SPECIAL INDULGENCES

O
UR Lady’s bounty of Rosary indulgences

is obtainable by all the faithful to a large

extent. But Holy Mother the Church has

granted special indulgences to those who are

willing to obligate themselves to the recitation

of fifteen decades of the Holy Rosary within each

week, by joining the Rosary Confraternity.

To mention a few examples of the indulgences

obtainable by Rosary Confraternity members

we refer to:

(a) The daily plenary indulgence and the

plenary indulgence of the First Sundays, to be

gained by fulfillment of the respective conditions

laid down for each, and:

(b) To the total of 299 years and 160 days

obtainable by members for the recitation of

five decades. The Crozier indulgences of 75

years and 125 days obtainable by all the faithful

for the recitation of a third part of the Rosary

and the Brigittine indulgences for like recitation

amounting to 15 years and 25 days, may be

gained by the one recitation of five decades, pro-

vided the blessings for these three have been

attached to one’s beads.

(c) All members of the Rosary Confraternity

assisting at the Rosary Altar votive Mass may

gain the same indulgences that can be obtained

34



by the devout recitation of the fifteen decades

of the Marian Rosary. Now that we may include

the greatest of Rosary indulgences granted to all

the faithful for the recitation of five decades

before the Blessed Sacrament, given on the

occasion of the Eucharistic Congress at Bologna

(September 4, 1927), the celebrant and the

faithful rosarians assisting at the Rosary Votive

Mass enjoy the grant of three plenary indul-

gences in addition to the munificent grants of the

Holy See for the recitation of the fifteen decades

of the Marian Rosary.

Those \vishing to become special clients

of Our Lady of The Rosary should v^rite to

the Rosary Apostolate, 141 East 65th St.,

New York 21,N.Y. for a membership card

of the Rosary Confraternity.
