Our Lady of the Rosary
\nPraying the rosary, so highly recommended by Claret as an effective Marian devotion for the apostolate, has been forgotten by many Christians. Perhaps because of this, the Magisterium of the Church has re-evaluated the rosary in several of its recent documents.
\nIt is evident that the Church cannot relegate the Mother of her Lord. Nor should she exalt her too much by placing her almost at the same level as her Son. Always subordinate to Him, Mary has her place in the salvific mission of her Son; her function is motherly intervention.
\nBesides, she is a model for the faithful as one who welcomes the Word. In this context the rosary recovers its meaning, an evangelical prayer centred in the mystery of the redemptive incarnation and classified by Pius XII as a \u2018compendium of the entire Gospel\u2019. The rosary is a prayer-meditation of the mysteries of the life of the Son under the guidance of she who was united with him from Bethlehem to Calvary, events which she kept and meditated on in her heart (cf. Lk 2: 19, 51): \u2018the joy of the messianic times, the salvific suffering of Christ and the glory of the Risen one that inundates the Church\u2019 (Paul VI in 1974 in his encyclical Marialis cultus no. 49).
\nPaul VI recalled \u2018On many occasions the Popes have recommended its frequent recitation, encouraged its diffusion, explained its nature, recognized its suitability for fostering contemplative prayer, prayer of both praise and petition, and recalled its intrinsic effectiveness for promoting Christian life and apostolic commitment\u2019 (Marialis cultus n\u00ba 42). Claret encourages the apostle who has the task of identification with Christ in his service to the world. Contemplate the face of Christ, and contemplate it with Mary, was the programme that John Paul II indicated to the whole Church at the dawn of the third millennium, inviting her to face enthusiastically the new evangelization.
