The Treasures Of The Rosary Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Treasures of the Rosary IT is a long-established custom on missions conducted by the Dominican Fathers to give each evening a short instruction on the Rosary previous to reciting the beads, which are always said in common before the night sermon. This instruction has a two-fold Object: to make known to the faithful the origin and efficacy Of this great devotion, so dear to the heart Of our immaculate Mother, and to inspire them with greater fervor, devotion and confidence in recit ing the Rosary. For many years it was the privilege Of the writer Of_ this humble book to give those Rosary talks. NO longer able to engage in mission work, some Of his esteemed friends in the priesthood have urged him to prepare a course Of Rosary talks for the press, in the belief that they would not only be useful to Directors of Rosary Societies, but would also be an aid to the faithful in meditating on the mysteries Of our Mother's cherished Rosary.

Excerpt from Sanctity Through the Rosary The institution of the Rosary is much more than a work of genius, for we see in it that supernatural wisdom which theologians reverence in the institution of the Sacraments. We have no intention of putting the Rosary and the Sacraments on the same level, but it is permissible to point out the striking analogy that exists between them.

THIS little work is compiled, partly from "The Theology of the Holy Rosary," of the French Dominican, Father Chery, partly from "The Complete Rosary Book," published. by a Dominican Father in England. Several Rosary books have already been published in this country, but, whilst some have omitted very important nlatters with regard to the Dominican Rosary, others have confounded that great Rosary confraternity with a popular little devotion, called the Living Rosary. The Living Rosary was lately organized by a lady in France. It offers no bond of union, except that of fifteen persons, which bond is often broken. The Dominican Rosary comes down to us from the thirteenth century. It was revealed to one of God's most illustrious Saints. It unites its millions of members in one great confraternity-one powerful apostleship of prayer-enriched with the most abundant favors of the Church, and sharing in all the suffrages of the three great branches of the Donlinican Order. Since its establishment, the Dominican Rosary has taken possession of the world. There is no devotion more ancient, there is no devotion more widespread, there is no devotion enriched with so many indulgences. We know of no one eminent for sanctity since the days of St. Dominic, who was not a Rosarian, and devotedly attached to saying the beads. The Rosary, is a solid devotion, most pleasing to God and to our Immaculate Mother, drawing down the choicest graces of Heaven on all who practise it with fidelity. Dear Immaculate Mother, it was to increase thy children's love for thee, to make the treasures of thy cherished Rosary still more known and more appreciated, that this little work was compiled. Deign to bless this offering, which is placed at thy feet, and obtajn for all thy children an increase of devotion to thee, and an advancement in those virtues which thy Rosary inculcates. An excellent book for First Saturday Devotions

Excerpt from The Convert's Rosary Fathers and the Hail Marys will fall from our lips, the beads will glide through our fingers, while our hearts will remain untouch ed by the great mysteries we are trying to commemorate. The spirit of the devotion evades us, while we are engaged in studying its outer form. The whole object of the Rosary is to keep before our mind's eye and meditate upon the chief events in the lives of Our dear Lord and of His Blessed Mother. By the use of the Rosary the Nativity, the Passion and the Death of Christ (instead of being far-off occurrences, which happened nearly two thousand years ago) become the daily actual ities of our lives, far more real and tangible to us, than the so-called realities which surround us. But at the beginning it requires study and a determination to triumph over first difficulties. Most Converts who have become used to it can bear witness to the fact that their Rosary has given them a more personal intimate knowledge of Our Lord's Life and Passion than any amount of sermons, church-going or Bible-reading did in their Protestant days.

Excerpt from Rosary Novenas to Our Lady He did for us, one by one; and then we turn the page and begin again. Those who have profited most from the Rosary are the ones who have thus understood it. With hearts full of love they have rested close by the side of our heavenly Mother; and, whispering words of endearment to her, they have gazed the while at those wonderful pic tures which the changing mysteries recall, seeing always something new and beautiful. And when they have come to the end of the picture-book, with the insatiable interest of a child, they have gone back to the beginning and turned every page over again.

Excerpt from The Excellence of the Rosary: Conferences for Devotions, in Honor of the Blessed Virgin The particular manner in which we now pray the rosary was brought into vogue by St. Dominic. This is attested by the tradi tion Of six centuries. Twelve Popes bear witness to this fact. We will now speak Of the introduction by St. Dominic, and will also refer to the great efficacy Of this devotion since its inception. May our reflections contribute to the greater honor Of God, and Of the glorious Queen Of the rosary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
