[Another prophetic but ignored excerpt and plea from the Apostolic Letter On The Rosary of The Virgin Mary]
The
Rosary of the Virgin Mary, which gradually took form in the second
millennium under the guidance of the Spirit of God, is a prayer loved by
countless Saints and encouraged by the Magisterium. Simple yet
profound, it still remains, at the dawn of this third millennium, a
prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of
holiness. It blends easily into the spiritual journey of the Christian
life, which, after two thousand years, has lost none of the freshness of
its beginnings and feels drawn by the Spirit of God to “set out into
the deep” (duc in altum!) in order once more to proclaim, and
even cry out, before the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior,
“the way, and the truth and the life” (Jn 14:6), “the goal of human
history and the point on which the desires of history and civilization
turn”.
