Mary's Rosary and St. Dominic

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today is the Memorial of St. Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) to whom Mary entrusted her Rosary. In researching more on St. Dominic and the Rosary, I was happy to find Taylor Marshall’s article defending the Catholic tradition and devotion to Mary’s Rosary entrusted to St. Dominic. In this article, he quotes these lovely words of Mary:

The tradition is further confirmed by the apparition of the Immaculate Mary to Blessed Alan de la Roche:

"My son, you know perfectly the ancient devotion of my Rosary, preached and diffused by your Patriarch and my Servant Dominic and by his spiritual sons, your religious brothers. This spiritual exercise is extremely agreeable to both my Son and to me, and most useful and holy for the faithful. When my Servant Dominic started to preach my Rosary … the reform in the world reached such heights that it seemed that men were transformed into angelic spirits and that Angels had descended from Heaven to inhabit the earth. … No one was considered a true Christian unless he had my Rosary and prayed it. … The prestige of the holy Rosary was such that no devotion was or is more agreeable to me after the august Sacrifice of the Mass.” For full article, see HERE

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
St. Dominic, pray for us
