On August 14, 2022, The Atlantic published an attack on the rosary. The Atlantic attacked on a Sunday, and on the day before the Feast of the Assumption, a holy day dedicated to Mary. The Atlantic is rated as "leaning left" by the AllSides media rating site. The author of The Atlantic piece is Daniel Panneton of Toronto, Canada. Panneton is "the Manager of the Online Hate Research & Education Project" for the Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Center in Toronto. I contacted the Center and they graciously provided the following comments. Panneton's contract is expiring and he is...

Luke 23:42-43 ^ | Aug 15 2023 | grey_whiskers
Lately i have been getting up early in the morning for a long walk (45 minutes to an hour) and spending the beginning part of the walk in devotional, formal prayers. Among the prayers is the recitation of the Rosary: in which one reads/meditates upon different episodes in the lives of Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles. A couple of weeks back, I was praying the Sorrowful Mysteries, in which one meditates upon the Passion -- the Agony in the Garden and the betrayal by Judas, the trial before the Sanhedrin, the trial, scourging and condemnation under Pontius Pilate, the carrying...

Fr. Ray Blake's Blog ^ | 10/7/17 | Fr. Ray Blake
Today millions of Poles are going to the peripheries of their country to say the Holy Rosary, which is a wonderful way to celebrate the feast of the Holy Rosary, it is also a demonstration of the power of the Polish Church. Could our English bishops or the Germans across one of Poland's borders be able to motivate such numbers of people? The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is of course 'political', it marks the destruction of Islamic forces at the Battle of Lepanto, in the same way the importance of the conversion of Languedoc through St Dominic...

How the Rosary Led Me to Christ Msgr. Charles Pope • October 7, 2015 • 8 Comments As a young child I was very close to God. I spoke to Him in a very natural way and He spoke plainly to me. Although I have very few memories of my early childhood, I vividly remember how close I was to God. When early puberty approached, though, I began to slip away, drifting into the rebellious and angry years of my teens. As the flesh came more alive, my spirit submerged.The culture of the time didn’t help, either. It was the...

CATHOLIC CLASSICS UNLIMITED ^
Dear Friends in Jesus and Mary, The Holy Rosary has a very special place in my "Spiritual Life". Recitation of the Holy Rosary has helped me to cope with the ups and downs of life. My Mother used to often tell me, that if you are troubled in any way ---- "Go to Jesus and Mary" by reciting the Holy Rosary. They will never let you down. When I recite the Holy Rosary, I often think of the unique and special relationship between Jesus Christ and Mother Mary during their life on earth. I have never stopped reciting the Holy...

Chastity.com ^ | Matt Fradd
Since today is the feast of the Holy Rosary, in this post I'd like to remind us that the rosary is a powerful weapon in our battle against unchastity and in particular pornography. “To recite the rosary,” wrote Pope John Paul II, “is nothing other than to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ.” To commit to praying the rosary, perhaps even daily, is to commit to spending fifteen to twenty minutes in quiet contemplation. Quieting the Mind Often those who use pornography habitually say they experience an inner disquiet that can make contemplation seem almost impossible. The rosary is...
 

AP: Praying the Rosary is “Islamophobic”

This morning Christine Douglass-Williams brought you a report here at Jihad Watch on this Roman Catholic “Rosary to the Borders” event in Poland. Noteworthy also is how the Associated Press covered the event: “some felt,” the AP intoned, that the event “had anti-Muslim overtones.” Why? Because “the event also commemorated the huge 16th-century naval battle of Lepanto, when a Christian alliance acting on the wishes of the pope defeated Ottoman Empire forces on the Ionian Sea, ‘thus saving Europe from Islamization.’” That is a historical fact, but as far as the AP is concerned, noting it is “Islamophobic.” Europeans, in...

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary - Hope for the World Introduction : Our Lady at various times has appeared and requested that her "Rosary" be said for specific causes. In our own century, she has made it known that her Rosary is a "Power" for overcoming "Paganism and Materialism". Many Stories can be told of conversions brought about by the recitation of the Rosary. A Miracle wrought by the Rosary: Saint Vincent Ferrer was once called to the sick bed of a dying man to administer the sacraments. The Sick Man would have nothing to do with the Priest...

This morning I woke up and decided to pray the Rosary before everyone else woke up. During the Rosary I had some unusual thoughts... First, let me note that despite the fact it is Christmas Day (at least, for the non-Orthodox out there), it is Friday. And Friday is for the Sorrowful Mysteries. For the non-Rosary prayers out there, there are a number of themes when praying the Rosary. Each one is a set of Five Mysteries: elements or episodes from the life of Christ or the Apostles. The Rosary consists of recitations of the Lord's prayer, followed by 10...

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 03, 2014 The German magazine Stimme des Glaubens reported years ago that Pope John Paul II had commented on the Third Secret of Fatima during a conference in Fulda, Germany in 1980. In this report, Pope John Paul II said, "...it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: if there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, and that from one moment to the next millions of people will perish, truly the publication of such a message is no longer something to be so much...
