THE MOST HOLY ROSARY — SUMMARY OF THE GOSPELS — THE MOST IMPORTANT “PRAYER FORM”, WHICH EXISTS.
The Rose represents The Blessed Virgin Mary, because it is a perfect flower — She is called “Rosa Mystica”.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is Mother of all Catholics — Mother of The Church, and She prays fervently that every single person in the world comes into The Church, the Sacrament of Salvation, founded by Jesus Christ on St. Peter/Rock. When those, who are doing God’s Will and are, thus, God’s Friends, call on God for help to convert others to His Church, they are heard. Often, our Lord sends His Ambassadress, The Blessed Virgin Mother, to personally appear to His Friends, to instruct them and help them out. The same happened with St. Dominic, a Spaniard, who was trying to convert the Albigensian heretics in France during the early 1200’s.
First, let’s look at just what the Albigensians (a type of resurrecting the ancient heresy of Manicheism) believed: they believed that there were two gods: a good god, who was spiritual, and a bad god, who was material. So, anything, which had to do with matter or material things was bad, and anything, which promoted the spirit or spiritual side of something, was good. This meant that the Albigensians considered sexual relations as being bad, as they had to do with the flesh, and new human beings were created through these relations. Suicide, on the other hand, was a “good” thing to them, because it brought about an end to a person’s material life. Obviously, this heretical association would, at some point, have run out of members, due to this belief. There were actually laypeople of all classes, nuns, priests, Bishops, etc., who were Albigensian, so it was not a small matter to try to convert them, yet St. Dominic did his best. Finally, when the heretics would not convert even after he had performed miracles before them, St. Dominic began praying very fervently to The Blessed Virgin.
