Pastor’s Corner:
Cast into the Deep
Holy Rosary to Jesus through Mary
October is the month of Mary, aside from
May. It’s the month of the Holy Rosary; it’s
also the month of mission. Both themes are
intertwined. But let me delve into the Holy Rosary, a Christian prayer that is so beautiful and so meditative but also a
prayer that is so misunderstood and sometimes badly practiced. It is a prayer that is attacked by many non-Catholics as
it is often interpreted by them as “multiplying prayers as pagans do” (Mt. 6:7). It is disliked by some Catholics who find
this prayer so repetitive, too much Marian-centered and not
enough Christ-centered. And many buy the rosary beads and
use them as a decoration around their necks or cars but not
lead them into prayer – beads as an adornment that lose their
character as a prayer symbol.
Considering these misunderstandings and
malpractices leads us to make some reflections about the rosary and its original meaning.
Background Information:
The first part (Hail Mary” up to “Blessed is
the fruit of your womb, Jesus) of the Holy Rosary is taken
from Holy Scriptures; the second part (“Holy Mary” up to the
end) is a petition prayer. The first part is a combination of
two greetings to the Blessed Mother: the greeting of the angel
Gabriel at the Annunciation and the greeting of Elizabeth
when Mary visited her. To the greeting of the angel, Gabriel
(Lk 1:28), the name of Mary was inserted (Hail, Mary, full of
grace) and to the greeting of Elizabeth (Lk 1:42), the name of
Jesus was inserted (Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus).
The joining together of the greetings of Mary by Gabriel and
Elizabeth in prayer form goes back to the 6th or 7th century.
About the year 1200, this first part of the Hail Mary was so
popular that the bishop of Paris, Eudes de Sully (died 1208),
demanded that everybody should know this prayer by heart as
also the Our Father, thus, becoming one of the basic prayers.
The second part, “Holy Mary”, is from a later date as we can
see from the different style. It is no longer biblical as it is
more petition in form. It probably originated towards the end
of the 15th century so that in 1568, the present form – greeting and petition – was prescribed as a preparation of the Divine Office (at that time called the ‘Breviary’), and by this, it
became official and its use, universal.
Various Names of the Rosary
Psalter: This name is older than the word, Rosary.
The Dominican friar, Salanus de Rupe, propagated this name as the one hundred fifty Hail
Mary’s became a substitute to the one hundred
fifty Psalms in the Bible since the Bible then,
written in Hebrew and Greek, was not available to all.
Rosary: This comes from the word “Rosa” or
“Rosarium, a garden of roses or a bouquet of
roses offered to Mary. It was propagated by
the Carthusian monk, Adolf of Essen.

Character Counts Program
Saints. If that title conjures images of dour folks
walking around with radiant gold halos, hands folded in
prayer, oblivious to everything around them except heavenly
ecstasy, then we’ve got a program for you! Did you ever
think that some of the most important saints in our Church
history might be described as quirky, rebellious or witty?
Indeed, some were not even raised Catholic!
Come and find out for yourself as
Our Lady of Lourdes presents,
hot off the press, Bishop Robert Barron’s newest series,
“The Pivotal Players”
starting on October 18th
Presented in both English and Spanish
“The Pivotal Players” tells the stories of St. Francis
of Assisi, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Catherine of Sienna, Bl.
John Henry Newman, G.K. Chesterton and Michelangelo in
beautifully produced videos. You will then be invited into
discussion and have the opportunity to delve more deeply
into not only the reasons these men and women are determined as pivotal, but how you can endeavor to be more like
them.
“The Pivotal Players” will be presented on Tuesday
morning and Wednesday evenings in English and on Thursday evenings in Spanish. Stop by the table outside to find out
more about Pivotal Players and to sign up for this very special series. There is a small stipend to cover costs of the program, but don’t let money stand in your way of learning
about and from these Catholic Church All-Stars.

Teach your children how to handle bullies
Many schools have started initiatives focused on
eliminating bullying, and teaching kids how to be
kind to each other and learn together. At home,
you can show your children how to defend themselves, friends or classmates with firm, polite
statements, if others are teasing them. Talk with
your kids about bullying – what’s happening,
who’s doing it, and how to stop it. For more information on bullying and in-school conflicts, visithttp://kidshealth.org/parent/emotions/feelings/
bullies.html.
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading – Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-14
Second Reading – 2 Timothy 1:6-8,13-14
Gospel Reading – Luke 17:5-10
“Lord, increase our faith,” words of request to Jesus
by the apostles. Jesus replies: “If you have faith the size of a
mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you,” says
the Lord. What does Jesus mean?
Mustard seeds are so small against a mulberry tree.
Little mustard seeds, things done in faith can uproot deeply
rooted trees of unbelief and mountains of hatred, division
and discord. Little acts of prayers, short reminders to admonish against wrongdoings, small conversations among peers
and groups of individuals – these little mustard seeds can
move into the sea mountains of hatred for the poor and defenseless; or a deeply rooted disdain for pain and suffering
when we become sick and old.
St. Paul tells us in the second reading from his letter
to Timothy: “Do not be ashamed of your testimony to our
Lord . . . but bear your share of hardship for the gospel with
the strength that comes from God.
During the time of the prophet, Habakkuk, the situation of plunder, oppression and injustice was getting impossible. The Lord tells the people through the prophet, not to
give up because of the difficulties that shake their faith. Our
faith, as a commitment to follow Jesus, can succeed in pulling out these evil roots, though tough and resistant like those
of a mulberry tree.
This journey of faith is not always easy; it could even
be interrupted. Some may get tired believing and stop
awhile; some may continue to believe in God but may not
yet trust Him fully as they may not have the courage to take
certain steps to cross certain bridges. But faith is not something that gives us the right to demand rewards from God.
It is because Faith is not a reward but something that
helps us understand life and foster our happiness.
This is made more clear in the story about a
servant, who, after a long day’s work under the heat
of the sun, comes home exhausted. The master, instead of telling his servant to get some rest, orders
him to serve him first and only after he finishes can
his servant help himself. What a rude master. This
means that in front of God, we should not presume
that if we serve Him as a good parent or as a good
husband or wife or as a good priest, that we are entitled to some form of merit or reward. Of course, God
is more generous than we can imagine. We serve God
for the sake of serving God as we are just servants of
His. Even after a hard day’s work that may leave us
tired and exhausted, one must repeat the servant’s
words in the gospel: “I am just a useless servant; I only did what I had to do.”
