COMMANDER CROSS ROSARY
a Step-by-Step Rosary
Pray the Rosary!
The Month of August is dedicated to the the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
.
-------------------------
We are Soldiers of Christ, in the service of Virgin Mary
and we Do NOT Abandon Our Mother Church.
Art of Christianity Records has published its first production and it is now available on :
LUX ÆTERNA - Album by Ensemble Maris Stella | Spotify
YouTube Music, Amazon.it, Amazon.es and Amazon.co.uk
Founded in 2022, Ensemble Maris Stella specializes in sacred polyphony and Gregorian chant.
Its polyphonic repertoire comprises masterworks of the Renaissance and Baroque,
pursued with a clear and tightly woven vocal and interpretative approach.
The sold out physical CD (accompanied by a unique 28‑page booklet of texts and artwork),
combined Ensemble Maris Stella’s performance of sacred polyphony
with sacred art from the Princely House of Liechtenstein’s renowned collections.
We are currently working on implementing the unique illustrations into the digital platforms.
-------------------------
When we became Soldier of Christ, at our Confirmation,
We are called to pray and to defend our Faith.
The Rosary is our only spiritual weapon.
The Rosary is not only for defence, but also for attack - to send your prayers
deep down into enemy end-zone: to keep the demons busy on their side,
instead of hanging around on our turf.
-------------------------
We pray for His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV for the restoration and the preservation
without restrictions of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum.
The family that prays together, stays together.
Our signature "Step-by-Step Rosary" encompasses the traditional 15 mysteries, going back to St. Benedict and the fight against the heresies in France and Spain in the 13th C. The mysteries of the public life of Jesus, created by St. Pope JP II, are not included in our traditional structure but exist as a stand-alone. Sacred art, language, and music are powerful tools in the battle against evil as they forge a connection between ourselves and God and serve as a constant reminder of the goodness in the world.
Our Step-by-Step Rosary community offers the Rosary several languages, even though not all of them are online. English is the main language as many people knows it. Some of our language editions are under construction due to lack of time. It exist in Danish, Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian.
Make sure you have properely blessed gear; such as:
- Medals of your choice (St. Benedict and Miraculous medal is a good start ...). You should have it close to you, if you do not have it around your neck.
- Rosaries,
- Holy salt (pref. vigil of Epiphany) but salt can be exorcised and blessed all through the year. It is apparently stronger if it exorcised and blessed on the vigil of Epiphany due to January 5 being linked to the Baptism of Jesus.
- Holy water (pref. vigil of Epiphany). - see above.
- Blessed incence (myrrh or francincense, pref. Epiphany). - just like above, it can be blessed all year around but the three Magis came with gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
- Blessed candles. The candles should be blessed on Candlemas but can be blessed all year around. It should be beeswax in it but any candles work, as long as it is not "electric" or made of paraffin.
Fasting is a good way and our aim is to do 4 fasts per year, which is the following:
- 40-days St. Martin Fast (Nov-Dec.)
- 40-days Lent.
- 20-days St. John the Baptist birthday Fast (June).
- 14-days Assumption Fast. or 40-days St. Michael the Archangel Fast (Aug 15 - Sept. 29).
“For never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil.
This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”
Twenty-fifth Rose,St. Louis de Montfort
PRAYER ACCORDING TO THE POPES INTENTION
The Raccolta, ed. 1910, #23.
We have realized that few actually knows what the Popes intentions are and we are obliged to pray for them :
"The Pope’s intention always includes the following objects:
i. The progress of the Faith and triumph of the Church.
ii. Peace and union among Christian Princes and Rulers.
iii. The conversion of sinners.
iv. The uprooting of heresy.
English:
O MARY, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Latin:
O Maria, sine labe concépta,
ora pro nobis qui ad Te confúgimus.
or
O Maria sine labe concépta,
ora pro nobis, qui confúgimus ad Te.
