Revival of Rosary with Pope John Paul II

It would appear that for a brief while during the 1960s after VaticanII, the Rosary faded a bit in popularity. Several people stopped saying the Rosary and Marian devotions. Pope John Paul II who had a deep commitment to Blessed Mother helped revive the tradition. In recent years, Rosary Recitation has rekindled itself. Pope John Paul II's love for the Rosary was so intense that he added 5 new mysteries to commemorate his 25th year as Pope. Celtic rosarysalutes Pope John Paul II for this noble service.

The Rosary Sequence – Celtic Rosary

A series of devotional prayers recited sequentially in honor of Virgin Mary is the Rosary. The introductory prayers comprise of One Apostles' Creed – a statement of faith, Our Father (the Lord's prayer) handed down to us by Our Lord and forming part of the Sermon on the Mount and the ‘Hail Mary” – a two prayer announced to Mary by Angel Gabriel, and a second part which is an intercessory prayer seeking the help of Our Holy Mother, and finally one Glory Be. It is commonly believed that St.Dominic, the founder of the Dominican order, helped add the Rosary. However, some parts of the Rosary predate Dominic while some others came into existence after his death. Celtic rosary will be glad to assist you in understanding and practicing Rosary better.

The Evolution

All the 150 psalms were being regularly recited by monks several centuries prior to St.Dominic. People in the town used to hear these recitations and though they could never read, mimicked the chant using Our Father reciting it 150 times in place of the 150 psalms. The Hail Mary then was eventually added to the prayers. In later centuries, the intercessory part was also added moving the rosary closer to its present form. Celtic rosary can help you understand these depths further.

The Catholics as well as non Catholics are adopting the Rosary more and more in recent times, and are using it more frequently with more means of learning being available. The Protestants too are getting more devoted to the Rosary and using the prayers. You should choose your Celtic rosary today.
