of his soul as a singularly efficacious remedy fy the overthrow
of heresy and the extirpation of vice. And she said
to him: "Thou shalt inform my people that it is a devotion
most acceptable to my Son and to me." It is adapted
alike to the learned and ignorant, to the cloister and the
world, and to every capacity, the words being so easy that
the most illiterate may learn them, and the mysteries so
sublime as to afford matter of contemplation and entertainment
to the highest intellects. No Christian could
slight it without irreverence or neglect its frequent use
without serious detriment to piety. The numerous indulgences
attached to the recitation of the rosary make
this form of devotion a powerful instrument for the relief
of the poor souls in purgatory.
The whole rosary is composed of fifteen decades (the
chaplet or ordinary beads containing five decades); each
of the fifteen decades is recited in honor of a mystery of
Our Lord's life and that of His blessed hlother, beginning
with the Annunciation, or Christ's I~carnation, and ending
with Alary's Coro~tatiorz in Heaven.
A decade consists of one Ozrr Fallrer, ten Hail Marys,
and a Glory be to the Fatlrrr. While reciting a decade,
let faith place before your niind the mystery honored, and
gray that the virtue it particularly teaches may be impressed
on your heart. It is a pious custom to recite a
chaplet, that is, five decades of the beads, every day. If
you persevere in this pious practice you will increase daily
in love to Jesus Christ, and in imitation of the virtues of
the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
