SUMMARY:Weekday
DESCRIPTION:A BRIGHT CLOUD OF SPIRITUALITY\nRISING FROM EVERY HOME AND EVERY HEART \nFrom the writing of Servant of God Dolindo Ruotolo 5\n◊◊◊ \nI am writing to you in the light of the Holy Rosary\, the prayer that brings us\nso close to Our Lord. With this prayer… Mary Most Holy comes to meet Christians\nin the same way that she meets them at Lourdes\, Fatima\, Tre-Fontane and any\nother place where She appeared. She comes with all the riches of the mysteries of\nthe Life\, Passion\, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord. Do we not honor the wheat\nthat is used for the Sacrament of the Eucharist? The Rosary is a granary of Graces.\nDo we not honor the grapes used for… the Eucharist? The Rosary is the vineyard\nthat produces the fruits of Jesus and Mary. It has been and still is the vineyard of\nGod and the fullness of life for us. \nMary Most Holy wanted the beads to be called a Rosary\, that is\, a rosebush.\nRoses bloom in the mild weather\, but they remain in bloom all year round. The\nsame is true of the Rosary for Christian people. The Rosary is newly born every\nday. It is a rosebush that we daily offer to God\, much as incense was offered to God\,\non an altar of gold\, in ancient times… It is a heavenly garland of precious pearls\, in\nwhich every part affords a treasure of Indulgences and assurance of mercy for the\nmerits of Jesus and Mary… \nWho can recall well the Mysteries of our Redemption without the Rosary?\nThe secret of our interior life is in the recalling of the mysteries… Amid the\ndisharmony of our chaotic lives\, the Rosary is the instrument\, the harp or the\npsaltery with its ten chords for each group of harmonies. With the Rosary we\ncontinually raise a song of love from earth… It is a bright cloud of spirituality\, rising\nfrom every home and every heart. Does not the harpist play music written by a\nmaster? Does he not go over it again and again\, with his finger on the chords\,\nmaking the sweet sounds\, written from the heart and produced by the press of his\nfingers? Well then\, so do we. We recite the Rosary going over the keys of love\nflowering from the life of Jesus and Mary in the mysteries of their life. On the beads\nof the Rosary we sing those canticles of love that redeemed us. \nAs an army has its march music\, marking the time for the soldiers\, so does\nthe Rosary lovingly mark time for the Church Militant. It is like the clashing of the\ntrumpets accompanying the siege of Jericho and it shook its walls to the\nfoundation… \nO Most Holy Rosary\, the incense kindled by Mary Most Holy\, you are the\nfragrance mixed by Her with the art of master\, because the Joyful\, Sorrowful\,\nLuminous and Glorious Mysteries raise a fragrant cloud of the prayer. O Most Holy\nRosary\, may your flowers bloom on the desolate flowerbeds of unbelievers and let\nsimple and lively Faith come to bloom again. \n5 Ruotolo\, Dolindo. Meditations on the Holy Rosary of Mary. Trans. Giovanna Invitti Ellis. Selfpublished online\, 2006. www.donlindo.org. Accessed: April 20\, 2022.
