An initiative of the Association Mary of Nazareth  August 5 – Our Lady of the Snows – Pope Leo XIII wrote the liturgical text for the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary   "The Rosary floods the soul of those who recite it…"  Photogram of the 1896 film Sua Santitá papa Leone XIII, the first time a Pope appeared on film. Pope Leo XIII wrote many encyclicals on the Rosary:  Encyclical Supremi apostolatus, September 1, 1883  Encyclical Octobri mense, September 22, 1891  Encyclical Laetitiae sanctae, September 8, 1893  Encyclical Magnae dei Matris, September 7, 1892, in which we read: "The Rosary floods the souls of those who devoutly recite it with a sweetness of piety that never grows weary, impresses and stirs them as though they were listening to the very voice of the Blessed Mother explaining the mysteries and conversing with them at length about their salvation." The Mary of Nazareth Team Let’s pray together  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.   .  Share A Moment with Mary and give your loved ones the opportunity to discover a new aspect of the mystery of the Mother of God each day.
