Is Rosary monotonous?


In rosary, Lord's prayer & Hail Mary are repeated so often; therefore it appears monotonous.

One evening, a women,with her fiance met a priest.

She said "I would never become a Catholic. You repeat same words in Rosary and people who repeat same words again and again are never sincere and I would never believe anyone who repeats words & neither would God".

Priest pointing at her fiance asked "Does he love you?" to which the woman answered "Certainly he does...."

"Hmmm... How do you know? How do you know that he loves you?" Asked the priest.
She replied "He told me. He said he loves me".

So the priest asked "When was the last time he said he loves you?"

The woman replied "About an hour ago".

"Hmm... Has he spoken these words to you before that?" Asked the priest.

'Yes last night' answered the woman.

Priest asked again "What did he say? ",

"'I love you'. He tells me this every night" said the woman.

Priest smiled and said "Don't believe him. He's repeating words. Hence he is not sincere".


In reality there is no repetition in saying 'I love you', because there is new moment of time and place.
For example; A mother says to her son " You are a good boy". She would have said this 10,000 times before. But each time it means something different - something new. As a new historical circumstance summons forth a new outburst of affection.

The words do not mean the same as they did at a different time in a different place in a entire different moment.

LOVE IS NEVER MONOTONOUS IN THE UNIFORMITY OF ITS EXPRESSION, SIMILAR TO PRAYING ROSARY.

In Fatima (1917), Holy Mary reminded us 6 times to pray the Rosary daily

Are you praying Rosary?

Saying
"Never will anyone who prays rosary everyday be led astray. This is a statement that I will gladly sign with my blood".

Our Lady Of Ransom (24/9)

THE PRIMARY DOCTRINE OF CHRISTIANITY-BE IT OTHODOX,PROTSETANT,ANGLICAN OR CATHOLIC- IS THE MYSTERY OF HOLY TRINITY(namely, that there is one God but three divine persons). Like the other Monotheistic religions(Judaism and Islam), Christianity also firmly believe in one God. THE DIFFERENCE, HOWEVER,IS THAT CHRISTIANITY'S GOD IS TRIUNE( God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit)

This feast to invoke Holy marys' intercession for the unification of Christians.

How this feast started?
​Our lady of mercy,which was founded in Barcelona (spain) in 1233 by St Peter Nolasco, and St ramond of Penyafort and king James of argon, for the ransoming of christians from Sacracen capcitivity, instituted this feast in thanks giving to Our Lady. It was gradually adopted in Spain and France, and in 1696 was promulgated by Pope Innocent XIII for the universal church.
Mary is particularly invoke under the title of 'OUR LADY OF MERCY' or OUR LADY OF RANSOM' for the re conversion of England(OUR LADY'S DOWRY), from false religious teaching. She is also the compassionate ransomer of living sinners from satan's grasp,and of the suffering souls of purgatory!.


Division's of Christianity!
Christianity first divided to catholism and orthodox in 1054/july/16. Break began as a political split within Roman Empire and evolved into a theological split. It is like twins separated at birth!.
Catholicism started to have divisions with Martin Luther in 1521. He was critical about the church activities at that time and wrote about 95 theses against nepotism & simony to correct.(Nepotism-choosing of family members to fill positions regardless of their actual qualifications)(simony-buying of church offices and church"things" such as sacraments and relics of saints) Church theologian appointed to discuss with him,Luther raised the question of Papal infallibility,which led eventually to excommunicate him with the church!. This is how PROTESTANTS started. In questioning centralized authority, Luther also showed a lack of any need for it. This stance opened the door for any one who disagreed with anyone else simply split off. These breaks grew exponentially as groups broke off from other groups, resulting thousands of Protestants that exist today.
In 1530 King Henry VIII, established himself as the supreme head of English Church, forming the Anglican church!.


Note: there are about 1 billion catholics while there are about 250 million orthodox christians centered around where christ apostles established christian communities!.

Main reason

Main divisions of Christianity has stemmed from centralized authority, but not the question of ROLE OF MARY!.

But to day, it appears, many denominations are not identifying the Role of Mary in christianity!. Without our knowledge, we have been deviating the problem towards another direction, as whether to treat Mary as MOTHER OF CHURCH universally.

IS THERE ANY CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT MARY?

Christianity is mainly follows the teaching and actions of Jesus.3 points to summaries

(1) For example, 1 st miracle is at Cana. God showed on His own wisdom, why we should go to Holy Mary for our happiness, for her to intercede with God for us!.

(2)Similarly, God in His own wisdom, send Jesus, as human and divine thru' Holy family!. Still Judaism cannot follow this

(3) BUT JESUS, ALSO PART OF TRINITY!
 So hope these points are sufficient enough to understand, the importance of Holy Mary/saints in Christianity

When we analyze, it is very clear, the role of Mary in Christianity!.
(1)God in His own wisdom, has sent His Son to this world thru' Mary, which still Judaism does not accept.
(2) God in His own wisdom identified the ROLE OF MARY in the new covenant of Love
Which many chrisatian denomination forget.

Why Mary?
Further, at the cross, Jesus handed over every human to Mary(JN19:26), Similarly Mary was given the responsibility of look after us!(JN19:27). Mary has instigated Jesus to come to public life, once Jesus completed His tasks, Mary has been assigned to look after us!. This is Christianity!. Never been changed, but unfortunately smoke of satan appears in undermining the Mary's Role in Christianity, which was not at all the reason for division!

Mary is always in the vanguard of humanity. She is compared to wisdom, presiding at creation; SHE IS ANNOUNCED AS THE WOMAN WHO WILL CONQUER SATAN, AS THE VIRGIN WHO WILL CONCEIVE. She becomes the first person since the fall to have a unique and un repairable kind of union with God. She mothers the Infant christ in Bethlehem; She mothers the mystical Christ in Jerusalem; and now, by Her Assumption, she goes ahead like her son to prepare a place for us. SHE PARTICIPATES IN THE GLORY OF HER SON, REIGNS WITH HIM, PRESIDES AT HIS SIDE OVER THE DESTINIES OF THE CHURCH IN TIME, AND INTERCEDE FOR US, TO HIM, AS HE, IN HIS TURN, INTERCEDE TO THE HEVENLY FATHER. We adore Holy Trinity and respect Holy Mary.

Can we forget Mary in Christianity?
Can we not wear the Miraculous medal and recite daily individual rosary, introduced by Mary?
In 1696 Pope Innocent XIII, saw the importance of Holy Mary for the Unification of Christian Church.
Today it is very important that we pledge with Mary for the unification of the Christian church!.

Our Lady Of Sorrows(15/9)

AS ON THE FRIDAY OF PASSION WEEK,SO AGAIN IN MID SEPTEMBER,CHURCH SPECIALLY COMMEMORATE OUR LADY'S GREAT SORROWS.

A.

7 Great Sorrows of Holy Mary:

(1) Propercy of aged Simon in temple- Mary was fore told that Jesus was born to be a victim for Sin. Mother has only 40 days of embracing her Infant Child when she sees the shadow of a contradiction thrown across His life!


(2) 2000miles(2yrs)flight into Egypt with infant Jesus- summoning of His mother to share sorrow with all the exiles and the displaced person of the world of whom He Himself was the first born. Now that Mary is crowned in Heaven,as she looks down on the earth, she sees millions of people still banishing the Creator, out of their lands, and driving Him out of their hearts!.


(3)loss of Jesus(12 yrs) in Jerusalem- Mary is setting an example for us, when we Lose God, we must not wait Him to come back. We must go out in search for Him; and, to the joy of every sinner, she knows where He can be found


(4)Mary's encounter with Jesus on His way to Calvary- As the 4th station of the Cross has it:" Jesus carrying the Cross, meets His blessed Mother" simeon has foretold that He would be a sign of contradicted; Now Blessed Mother sees the sign of contradiction is the Cross. How often Jesus said" IF ANY MAN HAS A MIND TO COME MY WAY, LET HIM RENOUNCE SELF, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME"(mt 16:24). If carrying one's own Cross is the condition being Christ's follower, then the condition being the Christ mother is to carry the saviours Cross. The curious on the road way to Calvary could see what He was carrying, but He knew the load She bore.


(5)His crucifixion- The peculiarity of this dolour is that the 7 words Our lord spoke from the Cross were like 7 notes in the funeral dirge. Our Blessed Mother is recorded as speaking only 7 times in Sacred scripture. This does not mean that she spoke only that number of times, but only 7 of Her utterances were recorded.
Our Lord also spoke 7 times from the Cross. As He spoke each word, Her heart goes back to each of the words she herself has spoken, making the sorrow more intense as she saw the mystery of the "sign being contradicted"
WE MUST WILL TO FIND GOD OTHERWISE HE WILL ALWAYS SEEM TO BE THE HIDDEN GOD


(6)Taking down His body from the Cross
For Mary, this is not Bethlehem; this is calvary. He is not white as He came from the father, but red as He came from us. In the crib He was as a chalice of the offertory, full of the red wine of life. Now, at the foot of the Cross, His body is as a chalice drained of the drops of blood for the redemption of mankind. THERE WAS NO ROOM IN THE INN AT HIS BIRTH; THERE IS NO ROOM AT THE INN FOR HIS DEATH. "THE SON OF THE MAN HATH NOWHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD- EXCEPT IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER"


(7) His burial- all the fatherless, mother less, son less, husband less, wife less griefs, that ever tore in the hearts of human beings, were now bearing down on the soul of Mary. She prepares Her Divine Son for burial. Eden has come back again as MARY PLANTS IN THE EARTH THE TREE OF LIFE WHICH WILL BLOOM WITHIN 3 DAYS!.
Finally
As Adam and Eve fell through the pleasure of eating one apple, so Jesus and Mary were united in the pleasure of eating of the fruit of the Fathers Will.

B. 7 vices of Humans!


​Holy Mary managed all 7 sorrows, without complaining to God. She set an ideal example of following God's Will!
In our life without our knowledge we pretend to be like God, without identifying that we have to depend with God all time.

B.1 INNER MISERY
As Fulton J sheen see(page 198. First love) "all inner miseries comes from 2 kind of sin:(1)the sin which take the gift and forgets the giver (2) the sin which rejects the giver with His gift. The first make God useless; the second drives God from the soul. Adam sinned in the first way by choosing something else before God, as does the man who sets up his EGO or FLESH, or POWER as goal of life. The crucifixion sinned in the 2 nd way, being anti God."

B.2 Our life River


With our birth (1)start breathing(2)subject to gravitation(2) develop our soul. These 3 consist our life river with 2 banks(heath& spiritual) and water flow(soul). Without our knowledge our spiritual bank will become weaker causing water to leak, if we are not aware about 7 vices!

B.3 Background of these vices!
The 7 vices for us is stemming from the original sin, it develops EGO, flesh(worldly desires) and worldly Power.
 We should be aware about these 7 vices and it should not allowed to be grown in our life!

FEAR AND SORROW IN OUR LIFE WILL BE INCREASED, if we allow these 7 deadly vices to grow in leading our life.  These vices if not surrendered to God thru' Mary in prayer will deprive Happiness of life.

B. 4. Details of  7 Vices
The 7 vices are having 2 Primary and 5 secondary drawbacks

Primary Vices


(1)Sloth(laziness or idleness).
Christianity clearly says that you should develop your born talents to be converted energy.(Ex: Multification of loaves and cursing pig tree)  If you are lazy you cannot convert your talents to energy!

(2)Anger(this is a strong feeling that comes when one is wronged or insulted either real or imaginary) all religions direct to have a peaceful mind. Christianity is equating Anger as committing suicide(Mt5:22) all following 5 will result in creating silence anger in your body, If you are attached too much!
for these drawbacks!

Secondary vices:

(3)Pride(boasting, love of publicity)

(4)Avarice(greedy,dishonesty)

(5)Envy(why shouldn't I have with everything that others have)

(6)Lust(disoriented love for personal pleasure)

(7) Gluttony(the disorderly animal appetite, obsession with food & drink to the point of living to eat, rather than eating to live

C. LESSONS FROM HOLY FAMILY:

St Francis de Sales says: We may say that Holy Family was a trinity on earth which in a certain way represented the BLESSED TRINITY itself" He further points out the counter part of the HOLY SPIRIT in  earthly TRINITY is HOLY MARY.

Joseph life work was to cooperate, at the next highest level below that of Mary, in the greatest of God's works- the Incarnation of the second person of the Trinity as Redeemer of fallen mankind. Indeed Joseph cooperation in becoming Mary's spouse was indispensable if the Son Of God was to enter our human world within the conventional frame work of marriege and family life.(Ref: saint Joseph by father Richard Foley, S.J)

Joseph too had 7 sorrows, which he overcame thru following God's Will
He had support of angels, dreams to overcome, but we cannot expect these supernatural Phenomena, after Holy Spirit!. Now no dreams or angels!
Only HOLY TRINITY with Jesus teachings and actions to be followed by Us!.

C. 1. Details of 7 sorrows of St Joseph

(1)Hearing about Mary's mysterious pregnancy
(2)travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem with expectant Mary & facing  last minute accommodation problem
(3)get to know that Infant Messiah would suffer at hands of sinful men
(4)Simeon propercies not only that child would encounter bitter opposition but His mothers heart would be pierced by a sword of sorrow.
(5)King Herod's threat on  new born saviour's life which enforced Him to exile to Egypt
(6)when they return,they were diverted to Nazareth,having being warned of a further potential threat on Child's life by Herod's son now reigning in Judea

(7) loss of child Jesus in the temple!

D.  Conclusion:
 All these 7 sorrows remind us, that if we follow God's will with faith and following Jesus teachings and actions in our life, we can over come sorrows and fears in our life!
Actions needed:
(1)Love
(2)with following 10 commandments: with no enemies
(3) have a peaceful mind(without anger)
(4) For disagreements, handover such to Holy Mary/St Joseph or saints, depending upon the type of the disagreement. Live happily!
(4)surrendering your' will to God's will!.

6. Additional reading:

6.1 Time in and around of world war 1 and world war 2

World war 1 ended in 1918, which resulted, 8.5 m casualties,21m wounded.  When the fighting stop & war ended.  Many people wanted to forget the horrors of 1914 to 1918, so they indulge themselves into numerous pleasures & distractions. Post war resulted in, to convert the factories that were producing weapons & ammunitions, now to produce consumer goods,& people wanted to spend money on entertainment, fashion & leisure. So many people endured enormous hardship during the war,& after the war they wanted to compensate their former misery with contemporary fun. The invention of talking movies(movies with sound), in the early 1920s & the invention of vacuum tube for wireless radio, made going to the movies & listen to the radio two-popular past times! Although the former only cost pennies to do, the latter was free, & that made even more popular!.
Prohibition( the outlawing of alcohol in USA from 1920 to 1933) did not poop out the parting by any means. Though illegal, booze was still produced, shipped, & consumed during those years. Organised lime made a fortune on bootlegging( manufacture & transport of illegal beverages like beer & whiskey), & americans drank their hooch at speak easier(secret locations where members have to quietly order the illegal drink) run by gangsters like Al Capone, Bugs Morgan, & Lucky Luciano!. The straight-laced Victorian era (1837-1901) where manners & protocol were strictly adhered to by almost everyone in society regardless of social rank or economic statues, was caricaturized, ridiculed,& repudiated in the years between world war 1 & world war 2(1919-1939). Because many monachies were involved in the eruption of world war 1, some overreacted after the war not only abandoning the monachical style of government, but also the social expression of the aristocracy as well. The Victorian era morality was seen by some people as a relic & the symbol of the anti democratic republican system. The prim & proper demeanour of people during the reign of Queen Victoria of England(1837-1901) was now seen as being prudish or even puritanical. Where as the older morality found it socially unacceptable to be seen in public exposing your face & hands, the new morality of the 1920s not only saw the hem lines of women's skirts go higher & higher, but the overall ethical behaviour become more & more lax & licentious.
Whether it is drinking illegal alcohol, visiting places of public prostitution, or attending burlsquare shows, the Roaring twenties would later be considered somewhat decadent & antitheticle to traditional values like marriage & family. Pride, Greed, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Anger & Gluttony are not only the seven deadly or capital sins- most of them were hobbies, if not preoccupation, of many people after world war 1 when some economic prosperity & new political freedom gave them a feeling of total liberty.
Treaty Of Versailles
In world war 1 Allied forces(UK,france, Italy, Belgium, Russia,USA) defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey,Balgeria. The defeated central power were led by GERMANS(Kaiser Wilhelm). Accordingly Germans were to handover their colonies, and they were restricted to 100,000 army with no tanks, no air crafts, no air ships with no submarines!. Adolf Hitler later used this treaty to drive the Germans to his Nazi Party. In 1923, outrages inflation was seeing in germany, where one $= 4 trillion marks( you need a big pocket to buy a loaf of bread). Also,  Allied forces could not supervise,& enforce the conditions of the treaty due to beurocratical process that they have to adopt by each countries.
World Wide Depression!
The US stock market crashed on Oct 1929, resulting, closure of banks, loosing jobs,their savings, pensions,homes & their lives!. Early 1930's resulted astronomical unemployment rates to be developed more than 25% in US, Germany & in UK.
Losing Confidence in the System
This inflation & no jobs, created frustration among people, resulting lack of faith in to the Governments!. This has resulted two political systems to arrive: Communism & Fascism (1920-1940).

Lenin(Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov)1870-1924
 & Stalin( Josef Vissarionovich Dzhugashvill) 1879-1953

Stalin met with Lenin in 1905. Lenin was arrested for stirring for rebellion: he was sent to Siberia from 1913 to 1917.
When Czar Nicholoas2 was forced to abdicate in 1917 & was subsequently executed along with his entire immediate family,(Bolshevik Revolution) the government of Russia fell into the hands of the communist party & the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) was formed in 1922. Lenin is considered the founding Father of Communism. Lenin use Stalin as the enforcer of the communist party. I n 1922, Stalin chairman of the Communist party. History later exposed, that Stalin had anyone from his past executed so that he could create his own myth about his origins. Stalin signed a non aggression pact with Hitler in 1939(to divide the eastern europe between them), which was honoured until 1941, when the Nazis invaded Russia & violated the treaty. After the pact was dissolved, Starling took Eastern europe for himself, so that by end of world war 2, the Warsaw pact nation under Soviet control. They are Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, estimated of 11 m people died at the orders or under the authority of Stalin! During his long reign of terror from 1922 to 1953.

Why Mary ? (8/9) (birth Of Mary)


We all remember that Mother Mary was born on the 8th of September. Would they be Christianity without Mary?

 WHO IS JESUS?
1) Timothy 2:5 says "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”.

2) John 14:6 says "I AM THE WAY & THE TRUTH & THE LIFE NO ONE COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT ME".
 All these reminds us that we should follow JESUS’S TEACHINGS & ACTIONS to reach God! WHY? Because Christianity’s basic faith is FATHER,SON&HOLY SPIRIT, ALL 3 ARE IN 1 PERSON(Holy Trinity). There’s no hierarchy in between those 3! as confirmed in Matthew (11:27) "MY FATHER HAS GIVEN ME ALL 
THINGS. NO ONE KNOWS THE SON EXCEPT THE FATHER, AND NO ONE KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON AND TO WHOM THE SON CHOOSES TO REVEAL HIM"

IS MARY IMPORTANT?
(Actions of jesus)
1st miracle of Jesus(Cana) reminds us the following:
(1)Mary instigated Jesus to come to the Public life
(2)God in His own wisdom, shows us to come through Mary for our HAPPINESS(wine)
(3)To obtain Happiness, the basic teaching of Christ is a primary requirement(love with following God's will)-water.


DID MARY HAVE CHIDREN AFTER JESUS?

At cross,(John 19:26)Jesus handed over Mary to John! And address her as woman(similar in Cana:2-4),implies that.
(1)Mary has been assigned to look after our HAPPINESS(wine) by TRINITY!
(2)Clears meanings of sisters & brothers of Jesus, as indicated in(Matt12:47-50, 13:55-56,)James, Joseph, Simon and Judas) and sisters - NO DIRECT CONNECTIONS! to John, reminds that Jews those days identified cousins,as brothers & sisters.

Hence Mary is mother of MILLIONS of humans SPIRITUALLY!. So Mary bore many children after Jesus, not by flesh but by spirituality!

MOTHER OF THE CHURCH

On 20/10/1964,at 2nd Vatican Council re-confirmed the Role of Mary in our Church!

THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT MARY. We don't adore her,we adore only God, the TRINITY!

God, in His own wisdom shows us, the new method of love with Christianity, that is to say:

WHOEVER DESIRES THE FRUIT MUST GO TO TREE. WHOEVER DESIRES JESUS MUST GO TO MARY. WHOEVER FIND MARY WILL MOST CERTAINLY FIND JESUS!

Pope Francis,29/6/2013, in His encyclical, "THE LIGHT OF FAITH" ends as follows(section 60)

LET US TURN IN PRAYER TO MARY,MOTHER OF THE CHURCH AND MOTHER OF OUR FAITH.

Mother,help our faith!
Open our ears to hear God's word and to recognise his voice and call.
Awaken in us, the desire to follow in His footsteps,to go forth from our own land and to receive His promises.
Help us to be touched by His love, that we may touch Him in faith.
Help us to entrust ourselves fully to Him and to believe in His love,especially at times of trial.
Beneath the shadow of the cross,when our faith is called to mature.
Show in our faith the Joy of the risen one.
Remind that those who believe are never alone.
Trust us to see all things,with the eyes of Jesus,that He may be light for our path. And may this light of faith always increase in us,until the dawn of that undying day which Christ Himself, your son our LORD!
