SAINT OF THE WEEK
The Story of Our Lady of the Rosary Saint Pius V established this feast in 1573. The purpose was to thank God for the victory of
Christians over the Turks at Lepanto—a victory attributed to the praying of the rosary. Clement XI extended the feast to the universal Church in 1716. The development of the rosary has a long history.
First a practice developed of praying 150 Our Fathers in imitation of the 150 Psalms. Then there was a
parallel practice of praying 150 Hail Marys. Soon a mystery of Jesus’ life was attached to each Hail Mary. Though Mary’s giving of the rosary to Saint Dominic
is recognized as a legend, the development of this prayer form owes much to the followers of
Saint Dominic. One of them, Alan de la Roche, was known as “the apostle of the rosary.” He founded the first Confraternity of the Rosary in the 15th century. In the 16th century, the rosary was developed to its
present form—with the 15 mysteries: joyful, sorrowful and glorious. In 2002, Pope John Paul II
added five Mysteries of Light to this devotion.
REFLECTION
The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it
a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus—his birth, life, death, and resurrection. The
Our Fathers remind us that Jesus’ Father is the initiator of salvation. The Hail Marys remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries.
They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of
his earthly and heavenly existence. The Glory Bes remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of
the Trinity. The rosary appeals to many. It is simple. The constant repetition of words helps create an
atmosphere in which to contemplate the mysteries of God. We sense that Jesus and Mary are with us in the joys and sorrows of life. We grow in hope that God will bring us to share in the glory of Jesus and
Mary forever.
