How to say the Rosary worthily
This is the time to say a little about the indulgences which have been granted to Rosary Confraternity members, so that you may gain as many as possible. An indulgence, in general, is a remission or relaxation of temporal punishment due to actual sins, by the application of the super-abundant satisfactions of Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Virgin and all the saints, which are contained in the treasury of the Church. A plenary indulgence is a remission of the whole punishment due to sin; a partial indulgence of, for instance, a hundred or thousand years can be explained as the remission of as much punishment as could have been expiated during a hundred or a thousand years, if one had been given a corresponding number of the penances prescribed by the Church's ancient Canons. Now these Canons exacted seven and sometimes ten or fifteen years' penance for a single mortal sin, so that a person who was guilty of twenty mortal sins would probabLy have had to perform a seven year penance at least twenty times, and so on. Members of the Rosary Confraternity who want to gain the indulgences must: Flammin and a great number of other writers tell the story of a young girl of noble station named Alexandra, who had been miraculously converted and enroled by St. Dominic in the Confraternity of the Rosary. After her death, she appeared to him and said she had been condemned to seven hundred years in purgatory because of her own sins and those she had caused others to commit by her worldly ways. So she implored him to ease her pains by his prayers and to ask the Confraternity members to pray for the same end. St. Dominic did as she had asked. Two weeks later she appeared to him, more radiant than the sun, having been quickly delivered from purgatory by the prayers of the Confraternity members. She also told St. Dominic that she had come on behalf of the souls in purgatory to beg him to go on preaching the Rosary and to ask their relations to offer their Rosaries for them, and that they would reward them abundantly when they entered into glory. To make the recitation of the Rosary easier for you, here are two methods which will help you to say it in a good and holy way, with the meditation on the Joyful; Luminous; Sorrowful and Glorious of Jesus and Mary. Or just name each decade of the Four Mysteries as you recite the Rosary. Choose whichever method pleases you and helps you the most: or you can make up one for yourself, as several holy people have done. Pages:
