The Devotion of the Holy Rosary and the Five Scapulars

The Devotion of the Holy Rosary and the Five Scapulars

In the year of Our Lord 2014 in which the Church commemorated the 800th anniversary of the Virgin Maryâ€™s appearance to St. Dominic, instructing him to preach her Psalter, this incredible work remains a Catholic classic. Written by the eminent 19th century priest Fr. Michael MÃ¼ller, this book teaches why everyone (from children to clergy) should pray the Rosary. This memorable volume also includes a section of five particular Scapulars, providing a brief each for history for each, as well as prayers like the Chaplet of the Precious Blood, the Chaplet of the Sacred Heart, and the Little Rosary of the Immaculate Conception.

Using quotes from the Holy Scriptures, popes, and saints like Augustine, John Chrysostom, Bernard of Clairvaux, Bernadine of Siena, Dominic, Teresa of Avila, Alphonsus de Liguori, Louis de Montfort, and many others, â€œThe Devotion of the Rosary and the Five Scapularsâ€ explains in laymanâ€™s terms the necessary role of the Rosary in leading souls closer to Jesus through Mary. As quoted in this book, what the Virgin said to St. Dominic who was desperately battling the prevalent heresy of his day, still applies as today the Church combats the heresy of modernism, â€œthe synthesis of all heresiesâ€:

â€œBe of good courage, Dominic. The fruits of your labors will be abundant. You know how much the salvation of this people has cost my Son. He does not wish that the work of salvation should become useless. Remember, then, that the redemption of the world was begun by the salutation of the angel, that it was completed by the bitter passion and death of my divine Son, and that it was established and secured by His glorious resurrection. The remedy, therefore, of so many evils shall be meditation on the mysteries of the life, death, and glory of my Son, uniting thereto the Angelic Salutation, by which the great mystery of redemption was announced to the world.â€

She then explained to St. Dominic how this devotion was to be practiced and continued by means of the Rosary. â€œThe earth,â€ she added, â€œshall remain barren till watered by the heavenly dew of this devotion. You are to preach this devotion as a practice of piety most dear to my Son and to me; as a most powerful means of dissipating heresy, extinguishing vice, spreading virtue, imploring the divine mercy and obtaining my protection. I desire that this manner of prayer shall be perpetually promoted and practiced. The faithful shall obtain by it numberless benefits, and shall always find me ready to aid them in all their wants. This is the precious gift which, through you, I bequeath to the world.â€
