"Not only do We earnestly exhort all Christians to give themselves to the recital of the pious devotion of the Rosary publicly, or privately in their own house and family, and that unceasingly, but we also desire that the whole of the month of October in this year should be consecrated to the Holy Queen of the Rosary."
– Pope Leo XIII.

Finally the holidays are over and I found time today to begin the series on the Glorious Mysteries. This is based on the fine art of Andrea Mantegna. Andrea Mantegna 1431 – September 13, 1506) was an Italian painter, a student of Roman archaeology, and son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini. Like other artists of the time, Mantegna experimented with perspective, e.g., by lowering the horizon in order to create a sense of greater monumentality. His flinty, metallic landscapes and somewhat stony figures give evidence of a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting. He also led a workshop that was the leading producer of prints in Venice before 1500. The process is the same as others using course materials, masks, blend modes and text. Enjoy!

“True love in every moment praises God.
Longing love brings a sorrow sweet to the pure.
Seeking love belongs to itself alone.
Understanding love gives itself equally to all.
Enlightened love is mingled with the sadness of the world.
But selfless love bears an effortless fruit,
Working so quietly even the body cannot say how it comes and goes.”
—Mechtild of Magdeburg,
from “Women in Praise of the Sacred”, edited by Jane Hirshfield, p. 95

7 October is normally kept as the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and there is a Dominican custom of blessing and distributing roses, the flower from which the Rosary takes its name, on this day.
The prayer of blessing is as follows:
"O God, creator and upholder of the human race,
author of grace and bountiful giver of everlasting life,
bless + with your holy blessing the roses we offer today.
May they be a token of thanksgiving to you,
and of love and reverence
for the ever Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary.
You have given them to be an odour of sweetness
for our use and for the easing of our ills.
Pour forth upon them your heavenly blessing,
through the merits of the holy cross;
and by the sign of the same holy + cross
may they be so blessed,
that those sick to whom they are brought may be healed,
and that, from the homes to which they are taken,
the evil spirits and their ministers
may flee in fear and trembling,
no more daring to disturb your servants.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen."
This custom was kept at our Dominican priory of St Albert the Great in Edinburgh.

The Rosary (from Latin rosarium, meaning "rose garden")[1] or "garland of roses"[2] is a popular and traditional Roman Catholic devotion. The term denotes both a set of prayer beads and the devotional prayer itself, which combines vocal (or silent) prayer and meditation. The prayers consist of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer followed by ten prayings of the Hail Mary and a single praying of "Glory Be to the Father"; each of these sequences is known as a decade. The praying of each decade is accompanied by meditation on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which are events in the lives of Jesus Christ and his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The traditional 15 Mysteries of the Rosary were set by Pope Pius V the 16th century. The mysteries are grouped into three sets: the joyful mysteries, the sorrowful mysteries, and the glorious mysteries. In 2002, Pope John Paul II announced five new optional mysteries, the luminous mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to 20.
I've always had a fascination with old graveyards and this one was a little gem. Sadly the photography gods were against us on this occasion and the lighting was very harsh, but, since we don't live far from here, a return visit is on the cards.
Shot some video which is over on youtube here...

While walking Chicago's 606 trail ( a reclaimed rail line converted to a walking/biking path), Karen happened to notice this rosary entwined in a bush along the path. We both knew it was an interesting find, but I wasn't sure if it would translate into a photograph. I was happy to see it did.

Happy Easter 2021!
This rosary is my handmade, an Easter gift for my mother.
This one is part of my the "Objects that define me" project... I have too much going on right now lol I'm a bit bummed out that the cross is not in total focus but on the other hand I think it gives it something:P

"Bede Jarrett, the English [Dominican] provincial in the 1930s, sent a member of the Province, called Bertrand Pike, to South Africa, to help in the new mission of the Order. But Bertrand felt overwhelmed and unable to cope. It was more than he could face. He lacked the courage to continue. And Bede wrote to him reminding him of a time in war when he had found his courage in his Rosary.
“Do you remember that dreadful day you had to cross between trenches at Ypres, when your courage failed you, and only after 3 or 4 attempts, did you force yourself to get by, and how you found the carved edges of your Rosary-beads had cut into your finger in your unconscious gripping of them to take a new lease of courage from holding them.”
“Yes, I remember that.”
“But, my dear Bertrand, courage and fear are not opposed. Those only have courage who do what they should do even though they have fear.”
So Bertrand must tightly grip his Rosary to have courage, “now and at the hour of his death”. It is the prayer for all of us who need courage to carry on, to triumph over fear. It gives us the courage of the pilgrim."
– fr Timothy Radcliffe OP.
October is the month of the Most Holy Rosary.
