From Rosario consists mainly in the bottom of the prayer of Christ and the Angelic treatment, ie, the Our Father and Hail Mary, is undoubtedly the first sentence and the principal devotion of the faithful and has been use all through the centuries since the time of the apostles and disciples of today.
It was not until 1214, however, that the Church received the Rosary in its present form and according to the method we use today. It was given to the Church of Santo Domingo, he had received from the Blessed Virgin as a means of converting the Albigensian and other sinners.
I will tell the story of how he received, which is located in the famous book De Dignitate Psalterii, by Blessed Alan de la Roche. Santo Domingo, in view of the severity of people's sins was hindering the conversion of the Albigensian, withdrew into a forest near Toulouse where he prayed continuously for three days and three nights. During this time did nothing but mourn and harsh penances in order to appease the wrath of God. He used his discipline so much that his body was lacerated, and finally fell into a coma.
At this point, the Virgin appeared to him, accompanied by three angels, and she said, "Hello Sunday, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world?" "Oh, Madam," answered Santo Domingo, "you know better than me, because next to your Son Jesus Christ who has always been the main instrument of our salvation."
Then Our Lady replied: "I want you to know that in this kind of war, the principal weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter, which is the cornerstone of the New Testament. Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter. "
It emerged that, comforted, and burning with zeal for the conversion of the people of this district, made directly to the cathedral. At the same time unseen angels rang the bell to assemble the people, Santo Domingo and began to preach.
At the beginning of his sermon, a terrible storm broke out, the earth shook, the sun will be darkened, and there was much thunder and lightning were all very scared. Even greater is his fear when, looking at a picture of Our Lady exposed in a prominent place, they saw the sky raise your arms three times to call for the vengeance of God on them if they do not become, to change their lives and seek the protection of the holy Mother of God.
God wished, by means of these supernatural phenomena, to spread the new devotion of the Rosary and to make it more widely known.
Finally, the prayer of Saint Dominic, the storm came to an end, and went on preaching. So fervently and compellingly did explain the importance and value of the Rosary that almost all the people of Toulouse embraced and renounced their false beliefs. In a very short time a great improvement was seen in the city, people began leading Christian lives and gave up their former bad habits.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, as instructed by the Blessed Virgin, as well as his own experience, Saint Dominic preached the Rosary for the rest of his life. Preached by his example and by his sermons, in cities and places in the country, people from the high and low, before scholars and the uneducated, to Catholics and heretics.
El Rosario, who said that every day, was his preparation for every sermon and his little rendezvous with Madonna after preaching.
One day he had to preach at Notre-Dame de Paris, and became the feast of St. John the Evangelist. It was in a small chapel behind the altar prayerfully preparing his sermon by saying the Rosary, as it always did, when the Virgin appeared to him and said: "Sunday, despite what they have planned to say may be very good I'm so much better than a sermon. "
Santo Domingo was in his hands the book of the Virgin uttered by reading through the sermon and, when understood and meditated on it, he thanked her.
When the time came, he went up into the pulpit and, despite the party, not to mention that San Juan is not to say that he had been found worthy of being the guardian of the Queen of Heaven. The congregation is made up of theologians and other eminent persons, which were used to hearing unusual and polished discourses, but Santo Domingo told them that was not his desire to give a learned discourse, wise in the eyes of the world, but will use the word in the simplicity of the Holy Spirit and with his forcefulness.
So I began to preach the Rosary and the Hail Mary word by word says speaker at a group of children, and used to be very simple illustrations in the book that gave the Virgin.
Blessed Alan, according to Cartagena, mentioned on several other occasions when our Lord and the Virgin appeared to Saint Dominic to urge him and inspire him to preach the Rosary more and more in order to remove the sin and the conversion of sinners and heretics. Cartagena said in another passage, "said Alan Blessed Virgin revealed that, after she had appeared to Saint Dominic, her blessed Son appeared to him and said," Sunday, I am glad to see that you are not confident their own wisdom and, instead of looking for empty praise of men, which is working with great humility for the salvation of souls.
" 'But many priests want to preach thunderously against the worst forms of sin in the beginning, do not realize that with a sick person is bitter medicine, must be prepared by being put into the right frame of mind To really benefit from it.
" 'So, before doing anything else, priests should try to ignite a love of prayer in people's hearts and, above all, a love of my Angelic Psalter. If only all those who begin by saying that and really persevere, God in his mercy could hardly refuse to give them grace. So I want you to preach my Rosary. "
All things, even the holiest, are subject to change, especially when they depend on the free will of man. Not to question, then, that the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary only retained its first fervor of a century after it was created by Santo Domingo. After this was like a thing buried and forgotten.
Undoubtedly, too, the jealousy and the evil machinations of the devil were largely responsible for the people to neglect the Rosary, and thus block the flow of God's grace that had been inspired by the world.
Thus, in 1349 God punishes the whole Europe, with the most terrible plague that has been known. From this, it spread throughout Italy, Germany, France, Poland and Hungary, bringing desolation of what was, through a hundred men hardly one lived to tell the story. Major cities, towns, villages and monasteries were almost completely deserted during the three years of the epidemic.
This scourge of God was quickly followed by two others, the heresy of Flagellants and a tragic schism in 1376.
Later, when these trials were over, thanks to the mercy of God, Our Lady told Blessed Alan to revive the ancient Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. Blessed Alan was one of the Dominican Fathers at the monastery of Dinan in Brittany. Was an eminent theologian and a famous preacher. Our Lady chose him because, since the Brotherhood had begun in this province, it was fitting that a Dominican from the same province should have the honor of re-establishment.
Blessed Alan began this great work in 1460, after a special warning from our Lord. This is how it received the message urgent, as he himself says:
One day when he was offering Mass, our Lord, to encourage him to preach the Holy Rosary, spoke to him in the Sacred Host. "How can you crucify again so soon?" Jesus said. "What you say, Lord?" Blessed Alan asked, horrified. "You crucified me once for their sins," answered Jesus, "and I like to be crucified again rather than have my Father offended by the sins you used to commit. You are crucifying me now because it has all the learning and understanding you need to preach my Mother of the Rosary, and you are not doing. If you only did that, you could teach many souls the right path and lead them away from sin. However, you are doing and what you are guilty of the sins they commit. "
This terrible reproach made Blessed Alan solemnly resolve to preach the Rosary unceasingly.
Our Lady also told one day that inspired him to preach the Rosary more and more, "You were a great sinner in your youth, but I got the grace of conversion for my son. Has this been possible, I would have liked to have gone through all kinds of suffering to save because converted sinners are a glory for me. And I would have done that for you worthy of preaching my Rosary throughout.
Santo Domingo appeared to Blessed Alan as well and told him of the great results of his ministry: he had preached the Rosary unceasingly, his sermons have been great fruit and many people have become during their missions.
Blessed Alan said, "Look what I've had wonderful results through the preaching of the Rosary. You and all who love the Virgin must do the same so that, through this holy practice of the Rosary, you can call all people to the virtues of true science. "
In summary, then, this is the story of how Saint Dominic established the Holy Rosary and of how Blessed Alan de la Roche is restored.

Mr. John, the Rosary is a prayer to the Virgin when he asked his mother for help. Because the rosary is five decades of Hail Mary, rosary beads used to help us keep track. Began with the rosary to Saint Dominic saw the Virgin Mary appeared to him. It is the most common prayer in the Catholic Church. I love it.
Do Catholics pray spontaneously and from the heart "as any other Christian. We do not reach for the rosary, when we pray. But what we do when we pray while meditating on the life of Christ in this devotion.
We say the prayer not as an empty repetition, but a means to reduce the distractions that often interferes with prayer time. This allows us to think and become more of the events in the life of Christ - in praise of wonder and gratitude.
Why not bash Catholics that if they do not know anything about it
