CATECHESIS CORNER The Rosary continued…

The Closing Prayer

We’ve covered the opening prayers of the rosary. In fact, we’ve covered all the prayers of the rosary except the very last one, which is usually the Hail Queen (Salve Regina), sometimes called the Hail Holy Queen. It’s the most commonly recited prayer in praise of Mary, after the Hail Mary itself, and was com-posed at the end of the eleventh century. It generally reads like this (there are several variants): “Hail holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweet-ness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.” So those are the prayers of the rosary. Between the introduc-tory prayers and the concluding prayer is the meat of the rosary: the decades. Each decade—there are fifteen in a full rosary (which takes about forty-five minutes to say)—is composed of ten Hail Marys. Each decade is bracketed between an Our Father and a Glory Be, so each decade actually has twelve prayers. Each decade is devoted to a mystery regarding the life of Jesus or his Mother. Here the word mystery refers to a truth of the faith, not to some-thing incomprehensible (as in “It’s a mystery to me!”). The fif-teen mysteries are divided into three groups of five: the joyful, the sorrowful, the glorious. When people speak of “saying the rosary” they usually mean saying any set of five (which takes about fifteen minutes) rather than the recitation of all fifteen mysteries. Let’s look at the mysteries.

Meditation is the Key First we must understand that they are meditations. When Catholics recite the twelve prayers that form a decade of the ro-sary, they meditate on the mystery associated with that decade. If they merely recite the prayers, whether vocally or silently, then they are missing the essence of the rosary. It isn’t just a recitation of prayers, but a meditation on the grace of God. Critics, not knowing about the meditation part, imagine that the rosary must be boring, uselessly repetitious, and meaningless. Their criticism carries weight if you reduce the rosary to a formula. Christ for-bade meaningless repetition (cf. Matt. 6:7), but the Bible itself prescribes some prayers that involve repetition. Look at Psalm 136, which is a litany (a prayer with a recurring refrain) meant to be sung in the Jewish temple. In the psalm the refrain is “His mercy endures forever.” Sometimes in Psalm 136 the refrain starts before a sentence is finished, meaning it is more repetitious than the rosary, though this prayer was written directly under the inspiration of God. It is the meditation on the mysteries that gives the rosary its staying power. The joyful mysteries are these: the Annunciation (Luke 1:26–38), the Visitation (Luke 1:40–56), the Nativity (Luke 2:6–20), the presentation of Jesus in the temple (Luke 2:21–39), and the finding of the child Jesus in the temple (Luke 2:41–51).

Then come the sorrowful mysteries: the agony in the garden (Matt. 26:36–46), the scourging (Matt. 27:26), the crowning with thorns (Matt. 27:29), the carrying of the cross (John 19:17), and the Crucifixion (Luke 23:33–46). The final mysteries are the Glorious: the Resurrection (Luke 24:1–12), the Ascension (Luke 24:50–51), the descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1–4), the As-sumption of Mary into heaven (Rev. 12), and her coronation (cf. Rev. 12:1). In 2002, Pope John Paul II introduced the luminous mysteries, which have to do with the earthly ministry of Jesus: the baptism of Jesus (Matt. 3:13–17; Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–22), the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11), the proclaiming of the kingdom (Matt. 10:7–8), the Transfiguration (Matt. 17:1–9; Mark 9:2–10; Luke 9:28–36), and the institution of the Eucharist (Matt. 26:26–29; Mark 14:22–25; Luke 22:19–20). With the ex-ception of the last two glorious mysteries, each mystery is explic-itly scriptural. True, the Assumption and coronation of Mary are not explicitly stated in the Bible, but they are not contrary to it, so there is no reason to reject them out of hand. Given the scrip-tural basis of most of the mysteries, it is little wonder that many Protestants, once they understand the meditations that are the essence of the rosary, happily take it up as a devotion. We’ve looked at the prayers found in the rosary and the mysteries around which it is formed. Now let’s see how it was formed his-torically. Answers, Catholic.

ESQUINA DE CATEQUESIS

Continuamos con aprendiendo mas del Rosario

La ultima parte Cubrimos las oraciones de apertura del rosario. De hecho, hemos cubierto todas las oraciones del rosario, excepto la última, que generalmente es la Dios te Salve (Salve Regina), a veces llamada la Santa Reina. Es la oración más comúnmente recitada en alabanza a María, después del Avemaría misma, y fue com-puesta a fines del siglo XI. Por lo general, dice así (hay varias variantes): "¡Dios te salve, Reina y Madre de misericordia, vida, dul-zura y esperanza nuestra; Dios te salve. A Ti llamamos los desterrados hijos de Eva; a Ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando, en este valle de lágrimas. Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra, vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos; y después de este destierro muéstranos a Jesús, fruto bendito de tu vientre. ¡Oh clementísima, oh piadosa, oh dulce siempre Virgen María! ". Entonces esas son las oraciones del rosario. Entre las ora-ciones introductorias y la oración final está el corazón del ro-sario: los misterios. Cada misterio -hay quince en un rosario completo (lo que toma alrededor de cuarenta y cinco minutos para decir) -está compuesto de diez Ave Marías. Cada misterio está entre un Padre Nuestro y un Gloria, así que cada década en realidad tiene doce oraciones. Cada década está dedicada a un misterio con respecto a la vida de Jesús o su madre. Aquí la palabra misterio se refiere a la verdad de la fe, no a algo incomprensible (como en "¡Es un misterio para mí!"). Los quince misterios se dividen en tres grupos de cinco: los gozosos, los dolorosos, los gloriosos. Cuando las personas hablan de "decir el rosario", generalmente se refieren a decir cualquier con-junto de cinco (que toma alrededor de quince minutos) en lugar de la recitación de los quince misterios. Miremos los misterios.

La Clave es el Meditar

Primero debemos entender que son meditaciones. Cuando los católicos recitan las doce oraciones que forman una década del rosario, meditan sobre el misterio asociado con esa década. Si simplemente recitan las oraciones, ya sea vocalmente o en si-lencio, entonces están perdiendo la esencia del rosario. No es solo una recitación de oraciones, sino una meditación sobre la gracia de Dios. Los críticos, sin saber sobre la parte de la medi-tación, imaginan que el rosario debe ser aburrido, inútilmente repetitivo y sin sentido. Su crítica tiene peso si reduces el rosario a una fórmula. Cristo prohibió la repetición sin sentido (ver Mt. 6: 7), pero la Biblia misma prescribe algunas oraciones que im-plican la repetición. Mire el Salmo 136, que es una letanía (una oración con un estribillo recurrente) destinada a ser cantada en el templo judío. En el salmo, el estribillo es "Su misericordia per-dura para siempre". A veces, en el Salmo 136, el estribillo comi-enza antes de que se acabe una oración, lo que significa que es más repetitivo que el rosario, aunque esta oración fue escrita directamente bajo la inspiración de Dios. Es la meditación sobre los misterios que le da al rosario su poder de permanencia. Los misterios gozosos son estos: la Anun-ciación (Lucas 1: 26-38), la Visitación (Lucas 1: 40-56), la Na-tividad (Lucas 2: 6-20), la presentación de Jesús en el templo (Lucas 2: 21-39), y el hallazgo del niño Jesús en el templo (Lucas 2: 41-51).

Luego vienen los misterios dolorosos: la agonía en el jardín (Mateo 26: 36-46), la flagelación(Mateo 27:26), la coronación de espinas (Mateo 27:29), el camino al calvario (Juan 19:17) y la Crucifixión (Lucas 23: 33-46). Los misterios finales son el Glori-oso: la Resurrección (Lucas 24: 1-12), la Ascensión (Lucas 24: 50-51), el descenso del Espíritu Santo (Hechos 2: 1-4), la Asun-ción de María al cielo (Apocalipsis 12) y su coronación (véase Ap. 12: 1). En 2002, el Papa Juan Pablo II introdujo los misterios luminosos, que tienen que ver con el ministerio terrenal de Jesús: el bautismo de Jesús (Mateo 3: 13-17, Marcos 1: 9-11, Lucas 3: 21-22) , la boda en Caná (Juan 2: 1-11), la proclamación del reino (Mateo 10: 7-8), la Transfiguración (Mateo 17: 1-9, Marcos 9: 2-10, Lucas 9: 28-36), y la institución de la Eucaristía (Mateo 26: 26-29, Marcos 14: 22-25, Lucas 22: 19-20). Con la excep-ción de los dos últimos misterios gloriosos, cada misterio es ex-plícitamente bíblico. Es cierto que la Asunción y la coronación de María no están explícitamente establecidas en la Biblia, pero no son contrarias a ella, por lo que no hay razón para rechazarlas sin más. Dada la base escritural de la mayoría de los misterios, no es de extrañar que muchos protestantes, una vez que en-tienden las meditaciones que son la esencia del rosario, lo inter-preten felizmente como una devoción. Hemos observado las ora-ciones encontradas en el rosario y los misterios en torno a los cuales se forma. Ahora veamos cómo se formó históricamente.
