The History of the Rosary
In the year 1214 the Church received the Rosary in its present form and according to the method we use today. It was given to the Church by St. Dominic,
who had received it from the Blessed Virgin as a means of converting the Albigensians and other sinners. The story of how he received it, which is found in the very
well-known book De Dignitate Psalterii, by Blessed Alan de la Roche. Saint Dominic, seeing that the gravity of people's sins was hindering the conversion of the
Albigensians, withdrew into a forest near Toulouse, where he prayed continuously for three days and three nights. During this time he did nothing but weep and do
harsh penances in order to appease the anger of God. He used his discipline so much that his body was lacerated, and finally he fell into a coma. At this point our
Lady appeared to him, accompanied by three angels, and she said, "Dear Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the
world?" "Oh, my Lady," answered Saint Dominic, "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 principal weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter, which is the
foundation-stone of the New Testament. Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter." (Rosary) So he arose,
comforted, and burning with zeal for the conversion of the people in that district, he made straight for the cathedral. At once unseen angels rang the bells to gather
the people together, and Saint Dominic began to preach. At the very beginning of his sermon, an appalling storm broke out, the earth shook, the sun was darkened,
and there was so much thunder and lightning 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 these supernatural phenomena, 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 compellingly did he explain the importance and value of the 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 leading Christian lives and gave up their former bad habits.

The 28TH Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ XXVIII Domingo Ordinario
HISTORIA DEL SANTO ROSARIO
El Santo Rosario, en la forma y método que lo recitamos al presente, fue inspirado a la Iglesia en 1214 por la Santísima Virgen, que lo dio a Santo
Domingo para convertir a los herejes albigenses y a los pecadores. Ocurrió en la forma siguiente, según cuenta el Beato Alano de la Roche en su famoso libro
titulado De Dignitate Psalterii. Viendo Santo Domingo que los crímenes de los hombres obstaculizaban la conversión de los albigenses, entró en un bosque
próximo a Tolosa y pasó en él tres días y tres noches en continua oración y de penitencia, no cesando de gemir, de llorar y de macerar su cuerpo con disciplinas
para calmar la cólera de Dios; de suerte que cayó medio muerto. La Santísima Virgen, acompañada de tres princesas del cielo, se le apareció entonces y le dijo:
"¿Sabes tú, mi querido Domingo, de qué arma se ha servido la Santísima Trinidad para reformar el mundo?" "Oh Señora, respondió él, Vos lo sabéis mejor que
yo, porque después de vuestro Hijo Jesucristo fuisteis el principal instrumento de nuestra salvación." Ella añadió: "Sabe que la pieza principal de la batería fue la
salutación angélica, que es el fundamento del Nuevo Testamento; y por tanto, si quieres ganar para Dios esos corazones endurecidos, reza mi salterio." El Santo
se levantó muy consolado y, abrasado de celo por el bien de aquellos pueblos, entró en la Catedral. En el mismo momento, sonaron las campanas por intervención de los ángeles para reunir a los habitantes, y al principio de la predicación se levantó una espantosa tormenta; la tierra tembló, el sol se nubló, los repetidos
truenos y relámpagos hicieron estremecer y palidecer a los oyentes; y aumentó su terror al ver una imagen de la Santísima Virgen expuesta en lugar preeminente, levantar los brazos tres veces hacia el cielo, para pedir a Dios venganza contra ellos si no se convertían y recurrían a la protección de la Santa Madre de
Dios. El cielo quería por estos prodigios aumentar la nueva devoción del Santo Rosario y hacerla más notoria. La tormenta cesó al fin por las oraciones de Santo
Domingo. Continuó su discurso y explicó con tanto fervor y entusiasmo la excelencia del Santo Rosario, que los moradores de Tolosa lo aceptaron casi todos,
renunciaron a sus errores, y en poco tiempo se vio un gran cambio en la vida y las costumbres de la ciudad.

El fundador de los Padres
Dominicos, que son ahora 6,800 en
680 casas en el mundo, nació en
Caleruega, España, en 1171. Su
madre, Juana de Aza, era una mujer admirable en virtudes y ha sido
declarada Beata. Lo educó en la
más estricta formación religiosa.
A los 14 años se fue a vivir con un
tío sacerdote en Palencia en cuya
casa trabajaba y estudiaba. La
gente decía que en edad era un
jovencito pero que en seriedad
parecía un anciano. Su goce especial era leer libros religiosos, y hacer caridad a los pobres.
Por aquel tiempo vino por la región
una gran hambre y las gentes suplicaban alguna ayuda para sobrevivir. Domingo repartió en su casa
todo lo que tenía y hasta el mobiliario. Luego, cuando ya no le quedaba nada más con qué ayudar a los
hambrientos, vendió lo que más
amaba y apreciaba, sus libros (que
en ese tiempo eran copiados a
mano y costosísimos y muy difíciles
de conseguir) y con el precio de la
venta ayudó a los menesterosos. A
quienes lo criticaban por este desprendimiento, les decía: "No
puede ser que Cristo sufra hambre
en los pobres, mientras yo guarde
en mi casa algo con lo cual podía
socorrerlos".

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:
“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the
greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most
helpful to us”. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only
celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass,
we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace ..."

What is sharper than a two-edged sword,
penetrating between soul and spirit, joints

Last week’s answer:
“”Both the one who makes people holy and
those who are made holy are the same family”
