october is the month of the rosaryThe rosary is a long standing devotion going back about half way to the time of Jesus and the Apostles. To understand why it does not contradict Jesus’ instruction to not multiply words it is important to understand that it is a contemplative prayer. We are called to reflect on the Mysteries that begin each decade, and if our minds do wander it will very possibly be to Mary who will of course lead us back into the Mysteries. I am very appreciative that Pope John Paul II added the Luminous Mysteries. I had always felt some regret that Jesus’ entire public ministry prior to His death and resurrection were missed in the original three sets. Only a Pope and a saint could get away with adding a new set of mysteries and have them popularly accepted. Since the rosary does not have sacramental status there is no way that it has to be prayed, but I personally prefer the format of the Scriptural Rosary. Before each Hail Mary there is a single line of Scripture relating to the Mystery of the decade being prayed. I find that it slows me down just enough to really give the Mysteries some reflection and still only runs about a half hour to pray. This is the format in which I am leading the rosary at the close of Eucharistic Adoration on the Thursdays of October at 6:00 pm at St. Francis de Sales. ----- Fr. Charlie Hall
