ESSENCE OF ROSARY……… (MEDITATION)
SAVIOUR
The rosary has always been a weapon against heresy and trouble. The October 7, 1571 victory of Christendom over Islamic warriors at the Battle of Lepanto, the first Naval Victory against the infidels, was attributed to directly to the rosaries prayed by the faithful.
ANTIDOTE
The rosary is meant to influence society as a whole. Several papal encyclicals speak of the social consequences or the effects on society, which meditation on the mysteries of the rosary could produce. The holy and powerful life of Jesus Christ is to be a real antidote and remedy for the errors affecting society.
MEDITATION
Pope says its essence is “to recall the mysteries of salvation in succession, while the subject of meditation is mingled and interlaced with the Angelic Salutation and prayer to God the Father”. Meditation on the mysteries of salvation is a short and easy method to nourish faith and to preserve it from ignorance and error.
