I asked Saint Dominic for a rose.
He sent me a boquet of roses.
In the year 1214, Mary gave the Rosary to the Catholic Church. I will tell you the story of how he received it. Saint Dominic, seeing the gravity of people's sins was hindering the conversion of the Albigensians, withdrew into a forest near Toulouse where he prayed unceasingly for three days and nights. The following day Our Lady appeared to Saint Dominic.
"Dominic, even though you have prepared a good sermon-- I am going to give you a better one."
The next day Dominic went up to the pulpit and said:
"My Lords and illustrious Doctors of Notre Dame,
I know that you are accustomed to hearing sermons suited to your aesthetic tastes.
Now, I do not want to speak to you in the scholarly language of human wisdom, but, on the contrary, to show you the spirit of God and His greatness."
As long as priests followed Saint Dominic's example and preached the Holy Rosary, piety and fervor thrived throughout the Christian World. However, when people neglected this gift from heaven, all kinds of sin and disorder have spread throughout the world.
Your humble servant in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Maria Carmen Velarde Buenaventura Sanger, SS.CC.
