Become similar to Christ together with Mary |
|
The spiritual of Christians are known through the commitment of a disciple to become similar to his Teacher fully forever (cf. Ro 8:29; Php 3:10, 12). On the pouring out the Holy Spirit in Baptism to inoculate the faithful as a branch to the vine tree, which is Christ (cf. Jn 15:5) and make the faithful become the part of the Mystic Body of Christ (cf. 1 Cor 12:12; Ro 12:5). However, this earlier unity needs a fusion to grow, the fusion that can form the disciple more in accordance with Christ “mind”: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus” (Php 2:5). In other words, we were called “to wear Jesus Christ” (Ro 13:14; Gal 3:27).
On the spiritual way of Rosary, which is based on the firm contemplation from Christ face – together with Mary – this ideal aim to become similar to Christ is carried through a community, which can be described in the means of friendship. So, we are absolutely enabled to go into Christ life and as if we join and feel His deepest feelings. In the relation to this thing, Beato Bartolo Longo wrote: “Only two best friends, who often meet each other, mostly develop the same habits, so then, by having very closely relation, speak to Jesus and the Blessed Mary, by meditating the mysteries of Rosary and by perceiving the similar things in the Community of the Holiness, we can be, in conformity with our level of humbleness, similar to Them and learn a life which is colored by humbleness, poverty, openness, passion, and perfectness from these holy role –models”. |

Together with Mary Proclaiming Christ |
|
Rosary is also a way to proclaim and develop the knowledge, in which the mystery of Christ is presented continuously to various Christians’ experiences. The model is a prayer which is characterizing of meditation and contemplation, that can form the Christians according to Christ’s heart. When the basic of Rosary mixes all the elements that are needed for an effective meditation, especially in a feast together in the Churches or holy places, then it can be a valuable opportunity to pray for the pastors.
In the same way, our Queen of Rosary continues the work to understand Christ. The history of Rosary shows us how this prayer is used especially by the Dominians in the hard times to Church for crumbling by heresies. Todays we face new challenges. Why do we not try to ask help through the Rosary prayer once again, with the same faith as they who were ahead of us? Rosary keeps all the power and still become the worth source of the faith establishment for every good evangelists. |

Following the Testimonial |
|
It is impossible to call all Saints who use rosary as a pure way to develop their saintliness. We just need however, to remember Saint Louis Marie Grignon de Monfort, the composer of a masterpiece about rosary. And the other, who is closer to us, Padre Pio from Pietrelcina, who was just canonized by Pope John Paul II. As a real apostle of Rosary, the blessed Beato Bartolo Longo has a special charisma. His way to the direction of holiness exactly depends on the inspiration which appeared from the bottom of his heart: “Everyone who spread Rosary will be saved!”.
Based on that inspiration, he feels that he is called to establish a Church -- which is presented to the Holy Saint of Virgin Rosary at Pompei, and for the ruins of the old city, whose citizens strenuously listen to the proclaim of Christ before the eruption of Mount Vesuvio finally buried them all on the 79th Century -- for remembering the next century generation of the grey city as a testimonial to the light and the shadows of the Classic Century. Through all of his living work, and especially through the pray of “fifteen Saturdays”, Bartolo Longo develops the main point of Rosary which is contemplatively and centered to Christ, in which he gets the support and help from Pope Leo XIII. |

Through Mary Coming to God |
|
Nothing pleases Mary other than bringing people to God through her, learning to believe and put hope through His role model…. even though we have to be mocked and miserable, either for the rest of our life, or at our death. What She wants is not that we came to Her, but through Her we came to God. She must and wants to appear for everyone as a living proof of the kindness of God. Her deepest desire is encouraging the souls to love God, to praise Him, and surrender to His organizer. All souls must say in a full of trust: “The holy Virgin, God’s Mother how cheered is our heart to see that only from His kindness, God sees Your humbleness. You enable us to put our hope that God will treat us a little bit like You, and that even though we are poor and not deserved, He will look at us willingly.” (Martin Luther - Abad XVI) |
