Little History of the Rosary

History of the Rosary

The traditional story of the rosary was that Mary herself appeared to Saint Dominic in the twelfth century. At that time, tradition says she gave him the rosary and promised Dominic that if he spread devotion to the rosary, his religious order would flourish. It is quite true that Dominic was quite devoted to the Blessed Mother, but no one knows for sure if Our Lady herself gave Dominic the rosary. If she did, it is quite certain that she did not give him a rosary that looks like the one we have today.

Originally the rosary had 150 beads, the same number of psalms in the Bible. In the twelfth century, religious orders recited together the 150 Psalms as a way to mark the hours of the day and the days of the week. Those people who didn't know how to read wanted to share in this practice, so praying on a string of 150 beads or knots began as a parallel to praying the psalms. It was a way that those without reading skills could focus on Christ and His mysteries and His Mother throughout the day. The "Divine Office"; the official prayer of the church; is the recitation of the psalms over a four week period, and is still prayed today.

This first rosary was prayed as we do today, a person would pass their fingers over each bead and say a prayer, usually the "Our Father". The "Hail Mary" as we know it wasn't even around at that time.

The Hail Mary owes its origin to the rosary. When people said the rosary in the twelfth century, Gabrielle's greeting "Hail Mary, full or grace, the Lord is with thee" was often said along with the Our Father. Later, Elizabeth's greeting "blessed are you among women" was added. It was not until the sixteenth century that the words "Holy Mary., Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death" were added.

Please, pray for all priests that they may find strength to stay on Christ's pathin loving-kindness but also in firmness to lead by example a life that is radiatingin the light of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and that is nurtured and nourished throughthe mystery of His body and blood in His sanctified bread and wine.
Please, pray for all, who mourn, and pray for the souls of those, who passed away recently and whose anniversary occurs around this time and returned home to God, so that their souls and our souls can together look forward to our future in the heavenly kingdom on earth as it is in heaven in faith, hope and trust and in the shelter of Jesus' resurrection and and in the effects of His redemption. May those, who have left us behind on earth thrive in the love of God and share with us the glory of God in their own resurrection, so that we all may work together from the worlds seen and unseen for eternity.
Please, pray for James' father (RIP) and for those, who mourn for him.May all mourners be blessed and be comforted by God's love.
AMEN

God bless you!

ORDER OF THE HOLY ROSE,

A Catholic order in the Angl.-Catholic tradition

in affiliation with Bishop Ralph Napierski in union

with the RCC

Welcome!

The Order of the Holy Rose is a Catholic canonical order in the Anglican-Catholic tradition, which was founded in May 2008 in affiliation with Bishop Ralph Napierski . *

*
Our bishops, clergy, and laity serve God in voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony, and we all are espoused to Christ's spiritual body, His church, either in blessed voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony. We do not own any property with our order and do not accumulate money, and share each, what we have been given freely. Members, who have given life-long vows must be prepared to follow Jesus Christ's call to wherever He sends them and they must not own any property to their name nor must they accumulate money.
*

*
Priesthood is only available to men for the simple reason that Christ was a man and He entrusted His chosen male apostles with this most holy sacrament in His memory. Therefore, the blessings can only be done by the priests. We are preparing for the return of Jesus Christ, who is the Father of Our Holy Rose Family and we are wholeheartedly reaching out to our brothers and sisters of the holy eternal family truth of Jesus and Mary Magdala, who were incarnate also as Abraham and Sarah, so that we all can shine together finally as one holy family in unity, peace and harmony and in human dignity and free of slavery for eternity. Whosoever claims to love Jesus is also invited to extend this love to His true own family, and get to know Mary Magdala, His wife, and children, Jacob and Zara-Zarai, who were still-born on the way to the cross. This truth has been withheld by a whole host of Secret Societies, heretical, Arian, Cathar and Satanistic and other secret Pagan groups within the church, who have systyematically undermined the true spiritual church of Christ and it is those, who have abused children and adults in the disguise of clergy in all ranks of the church hierarchy and parishes and monasteries, and put the blame for their own shame on the numerous holy and faithful priests and nuns. Many documents and scrolls have been purposefully withheld that confirm this but holy truth has the habit to reveal itself in all ways and speaks for itself, and one day Christ will in His good time fit all things and put all wrong right simply through His living word.
*

Women have a whole range of roles within Christ's church, and Bishop Ralph is ordaining women as deaconesses as was the custom in the early church, too, as women are invaluable in many ways for the life in a holy community but they are not involved in the inner sanctuary.
*

Mary Magdalene was the eternal wife of Jesus Christ and was chosen by God and Jesus from the beginning of time as the advocate for Christ's own family as the nucleus of creation and not of a twisted version of heresy, which does her greatly injustice as she never ever desired to replace the Holy Mother of God nor did she ever have any other desire than to be Jesus' wife and the loving mother of His children; she certainly had no ambition whatsoever to be a priestess or to serve in the inner sanctuary; however, she was wholeheartedly supporting the spiritual church of Christ and made her property and money available for this purpose, as she did in all incarnations in one way or another . She was obedient to God and to Jesus and she served God together with Christ in utmost humility, always painfully aware of her sins that she would find within herself the deeper she journeyed. On the way to Christ's cross she had to give birth in the street to their still-born twins Jacob and Zara-Zarai, and so she not only mourned her husband's but also her children's loss, all in one on one day, whose very existence has been for a multitude oft the above reasons not yet officially been recognized. The Order of the Holy Rose is dedicated to Jesus Christ and accordingly to His wish, also to His Holy Family: His wife Mary Magdala, and their murdered twin infants Jacob and Zara-Zarai. Jesus Christ's and Mary Magdala's desire was to lead a life in holiness and serve God together in holy matrimony to live and lead by example, and as short as their life together was it was the living eternal holy family's creed, and after the loss of her all she continued to sow from Ephesus Jesus Christ's mustard seed, and His path of peace and unity and human dignity and holy truth and loving-kindness and parental responsibility for the children of God is all that mankind does for eternal life need. Mary Magdala gave up her old life and donated all her money and property to Jesus Christ's ministry but that fact was also twisted to this very day by pseudo-religious orders, who rather lead mankind to war and hoard money and property instead of sharing all their spiritual gifts for free and to teach and preach and to heal freely.

Share freely, what you have been given freely!

God bless you!
