,,the ,,rosary  ---  ,,the name ,rosary 
signifies a crown of roses2 and well    
does this devotion deserve1 by just     
right1 a name so beautiful4 ,the rose is
 the most beautiful of flowers and      
ravishes our senses with its beauty and 
perfume2 and there is no delight that   
can equal the heavenly enchantment of   
the spiritual sweetness which is exhaled
 from this beautiful prayer4  ,the      
,rosary is a spiritual garland of mystic
 roses with which we deck the brow of   
,mary--a diadem which reflects the joy  
and brilliance1 the purity and fecundity
 of the glorious ,queen of ,heaven4     
,the flowers which we weave are not of  
this earth1 but are indigenous to       
,paradise1 and were transplanted by an  
angel's hand from their native soil to  

bloom and flourish among the weeds and  
thistles of this miserable and sinful   
world4  ,there is no form of prayer more
 efficacious1 or more excellent and     
acceptable before ,heaven than ,mary's  
own devotion1 the ,rosary4 ,there is    
nothing that the great ,holy ,father1   
,pope ,leo ,,xiii1 urged more upon the  
,church than the devout practice of     
reciting the beads in her honor4  ,the  
devotion of the ,holy ,rosary was       
revealed to ,st4 ,dominic by the        
,blessed ,virgin ,mary1 who commanded   
him to preach it throughout the world2  
and hence the ,rosary has ever been the 
spiritual heritage and distinct property
 of the ,dominican ,order4  ,the ,rosary
 is adapted to the learned and the      
ignorant1 and to every capacity4 ,the   
form and matter are intelligible to the 
most illiterate1 and yet so sublime as  
to be matter of contemplation worthy of 
the highest intellect4 ,moreover1 the   
,rosary is not only a most sublime and  
perfect devotion1 but there is no       

devotion in the ,church which is        
enriched with more precious and valuable
 helps to salvation2 and there is       
nothing1 outside the ,holy ,sacrifice1  
that can profit the living and the dead 
equal to the pious recitation of the    
,rosary4   ,the ,form and ,matter of the
 ,rosary  ,the ,rosary consists in the  
recitation1 in honor of the ,most ,holy 
,virgin ,mary1 ,mother of ,god1 of the  
,angelic ,salutation one hundred and    
fifty times1 distributed into fifteen   
decades2 each decade being preceded by  
the ,lord's ,prayer and accompanied by  
meditation on one of the principal      
mysteries of our ,divine ,saviour and   
terminated by the doxology or ,glory be 
to the ,father1 etc4 ,the vocal prayer  
is the matter1 the body of this         
exercise2 the meditation on the fifteen 
mysteries is the form1 and1 as it were1 
the soul of this prayer4 ,the ,rosary is
 divided into three parts2 each part    
contains five mysteries and is called a 
chaplet4 ,the first part consists of the

 five joyful mysteries2 the second1 of  
the five sorrowful2 and the third1 of   
the five glorious mysteries4   ,manner  
of ,reciting the ,rosary  ,the method of
 reciting the ,rosary practiced by the  
,dominicans is as follows3  ,in the name
 of the ,father1 etc4  ,v4 ,hail ,mary1 
full of grace1 the ,lord is with thee4  
,r4 ,blessed art thou among women1 and  
blessed is the fruit of thy             
womb--,jesus4  ,v4 ,thou1 ,o ,lord1 wilt

 ,father1 etc41 ,alleluia4  7,from      
,septuagesima to ,easter1 instead of    
,alleluia1 say ,praise by to ,thee1 ,o  
,lord1 ,king of eternal glory47  ,then  
announce either the first part of the   
holy ,rosary1 the five joyful mysteries1
 or the second part of the holy ,rosary1
 the five sorrowful mysteries1 or the   
third part of the holy ,rosary1 the five
 glorious mysteries4 ,then the first

manner as we believe that the summit of 
,christian perfection is reached through
 union with ,christ1 the fountain of all
 perfections1 and also through the union
 of ,christians among themselves2 so in 
order to attain this perfection we are  
piously taught that the best means is   
prayer1 and a union and co- operation   
with our brethren and neighbors in piety
 and good works4 ,it is for this reason 
that the ,church encourages             
confraternities1 and especially the     
,rosary ,confraternity--the most ancient
 and universal in the ,catholic ,church4
  ,confraternities of the ,rosary1

but if the entire ,rosary is not said

,,xiii1 the venerable and zealous       
,apostle of the ,rosary in the          
nineteenth century4 ,speaking to the    
rulers of the ,church1 the ,pope says3  
,for these reasons the ,roman ,pontiffs 
have ever given the highest praise to   
this ,sodality of our ,lady4 ,innocent  
,,vii called it 'a most devout          
,confraternity4' ,pius ,v declared that 
by its virtue ',christians began        
suddenly to be transformed into other   
men1 the darkness of heresy to be       
dispelled1 and the light of ,catholic   
faith to shine forth4' ,we also1        
,venerable ,brethren1 moved by the      
example of our predecessors1 earnestly  
exhort and conjure you1 as we have often

 done1 to devote special care to this   
sacred warfare1 so that by your efforts 
fresh forces may be daily enrolled on   
every side4 ,through you and those of   
your clergy who have the care of souls1 
let the people know and duly appreciate 
the efficacy of this ,sodality and its  
usefulness for man's salvation4 ,to the 
faithful laity the ,pontiff's fatherly  
words are no less strong3 ,for this     
reason do we exhort all ,christians to  
give themselves to the daily recital of 
this pious devotion either in public or 
privately in the home or family of each4
 ,we believe it to be in the designs of 
,providence that1 in these times of     
trials for the ,church1 the ancient     
devotion to the august ,virgin should   
live and flourish4  ,may the ,christian 
people1 excited by our exhortations and 
inflamed by your appeals1 now seek the  
protection of ,mary with an ardor       
growing greater day by day4 ,let them   
betake themselves more and more to the  
protection of ,mary1 and trust in ,her4 

,let them cling more and more to the    
practice of the ,rosary1 to which our   
ancestors had recourse as an ever-ready 
refuge in misfortune1 and as a glorious 
pledge and proof of ,christian faith and
 devotion4  ,the heavenly ,patroness of 
the human race will receive with joy    
these prayers and supplications1 and    
will easily obtain that the good grow in
 goodness1 and that the erring repent   
and be brought back to salvation2 that  
,god1 who is the avenger of crime1 moved
 to compassion and mercy1 shall deliver 
,christendom and civil society from     
their present dangers1 and restore to   
them that peace which is so much        
desired4  ,encouraged by this hope1 we  
beseech ,god ,himself1 with the earnest 
desire of our heart1 to grant you1      
,venerable ,brethren1 every gift of     
heavenly blessing1 through ,her in whom 
,he has placed the fullness of all
