rosary Virgin Mary Chaplet Novena
History of the Most Holy Rosary
In thanksgiving for the decisive victory of the Christian fleet over the Turkish fleet at Lepanto on the first Sunday of October 1571, the holy Pope Pius V instituted an annual feast under the title of Saint Mary of Victory; but shortly afterwards Pope Gregory XII changed the name of this feast to Our Lady of the Rosary.
The Rosary had been instituted by Saint Dominic at the beginning of the 13th century. Through the zeal of the Popes, and also through the abundant fruits it produced in the Church, it became more and more popular. In the 15th century, Blessed Alain de La Roche, a Dominican, was inspired by Mary to revive this excellent devotion.
Later, in the first years of the eighteenth century, there appeared an extraordinary man who was rightly called the Dominic of modern times, and who was the great propagator and apostle of devotion to the Holy Rosary; he was Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort. Since Saint Dominic, there has been no man more zealous than this great missionary for the establishment of the Confraternity of the Rosary: he set it up in all places where it was not already in place; it was the means he judged most powerful for establishing the reign of God in souls. He himself composed a method of reciting the Rosary, which has remained the best of all, the easiest to remember, the most instructive and the most pious. The Apostle of the West recited his entire Rosary every day according to his method, and had it recited publicly every day in his missions, and he made it a rule for his followers to follow his example.
By his daily Rosary Montfort converted the greatest sinners and made them persevere in the grace and fervour of their conversion; he could say, "No one resisted me once I was able to get hold of him with my Rosary!" He had a thousand industries to propagate and make people love the Rosary: there were fifteen banners representing the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary; elsewhere, huge Rosaries that were recited while walking, in churches or around churches, in the manner of the Way of the Cross. He exalted the Rosary in his hymns; a thunder of voices answered his, and all the echoes repeated, from hill to hill, the glories of this blessed devotion.
His work continued after him; it was with the Rosary in his hand that the Vendée, in 1793, defended its homes and its altars; it is also with the Rosary or the rosary in his hand that the Christian populations appear in all religious ceremonies.
Abbé L. Jaud, Vie des Saints pour tous les jours de l'année, Tours, Mame, 1950.
