Ralph Barile APPARITION OF MARY TO DOMINIC URGING THE HOLY ROSARY DOMINIC: OH, MY LADY, YOU KNOW FAR BETTER THAN I, BECAUSE NEXT TO YOUR MARY: I WANT YOU TO KNOW SON JESUS CHRIST YOU THAT, IN THIS KIND OF WARFARE, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE PRINCIPAL WEAPON HAS THE CHIEF INSTRUMENT ALWAYS BEEN THE ANGELIC OF OUR SALVATION. PSALTER, WHICH IS THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. THEREFORE, IF YOU WANT TO REACH THESE HARDENED SOULS AND WIN THEM OVER TO © JCM, 2014 Over the Baptismal Font of our Par ish w e have a m u ral showing Mary, Our Blessed Mother appearing to Saint Dominic ar ou nd 1214 AD, u r ging him to pr each the Rosary. Blessed Alan De La Roche, a Dominican Friar, writing around 1460, relates the account of the apparition. Our Lady appeared to him, accompanied by three angels, and she said, "Dear Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world?" "Oh, my Lady," answered Saint Dominic, "you know far better than I do, because next to your Son Jesus Christ you have always been the chief instrument of our salvation." Then our Lady replied, "I want you to know that, in this kind of warfare, the principal weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter, which is the foundation-stone of the New Testament. Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter." Of course the “Angelic Psalter” was the term Mary used for the Holy Rosary. He was in a little chapel behind the high altar prayerfully preparing his sermon by saying the Rosary, as he always did, when our Lady appeared to him and said: "Dominic, even though what you have planned to say may be very good, I am bringing you a much better sermon." So he began preaching the Rosary and explained the Hail Mary word by word as he would to a group of children, and used the very simple illustrations which were in the book given him by our Lady. Condensed from an account by: St. Louis Grignon de Monfort (www.theholyrosary.org/rosaryhistory) Saint Januarius - Feast Day October 19 Little is known about Januarius except that he was a bishop of Benevento (near Naples, Italy) and was probably martyred during the persecutions under Emperor Diocletian around 305. According to legends about Januarius, he went to visit Christians who had been imprisoned. He was then arrested and condemned to death for being a Christian. Januarius and his companions were thrown to wild beasts in an amphitheater, but the wild animals refused to harm them. The Christians were beheaded instead, and the blood and body of Januarius were brought back to Naples. Januarius is regarded as the patron saint of Naples, and his protection is sought when there is the danger of volcanic eruption.
