Mother Church's gifts to the world: Prayers: Holy Rosary

Image
Holy Rosary is a common prayer with which every household within Catholic Church pray. Rosary is prayed as communal prayer, family prayer, and personal prayer. Saying Rosary is one among the traditions of the church. Many saints have promoted this holy prayer as personal prayer. They have placed their experiences of this prayer in their life transformation. This is a prayer, which comes under frequent serious criticism of  other denominations. They often ask us  or challenge us to show the biblical ground of this prayer?  I would consider that  question as their lack of understanding the mysteries of Holy Rosary, which are biblical meditations through biblical verses and biblical mysteries. Many saints have recorded their experiences in praying Rosary. Majority of them have considered praying Holy Rosary as a powerful tool against enemy's tactics. Holy Rosary is a spiritual warfare prayer, which consists of the word of God, which announces the Annunciatio...

Mother Church Gifts to the World: Sacramental presence

Mother Church presence in the world is the greatest gift to the world. Once I heard from the sharing of an Anglican preacher from his story of returning to Holy Catholic Church at the age of fifty and after many heights of accomplishments in Anglican Church. Something in his story  touched me profoundly, which is in his statement as he stated, protestants and other denominations are trying to build  the Church by themselves, whereas Jesus has already built the Church, which is mother Catholic Church. How true it is! One Holy Apostolic Church, Holy catholic Church is not a human invention or social engineering. Mother Church is a gift from God Himself to the world and universe. In the mother Church, the resurrected Lord resides and says," I will be with you always to the end of the world". Mother Church, Holy Catholic Church, I love you and I thank God for your presence in this world.

I believe in Holy Catholic Church: Mother Church gifts in Sacrements and Prayers, Holy Mass

I believe in Holy Catholic Church Prayers are human expressions of seeking  relationship with heavenly Father. There are many prayers we use in holy Catholic Church, including liturgical prayers and personal prayers. Sources of prayers emerge from faith, love, hope, and charity. Levels of prayers include communal prayers, participatory prayers, meditation prayers, contemplative prayers, and worship through life. While, Church guides faithful with sacraments,  liturgy, and Eucharistic presence, choices of prayers in Catholic Church is infinite as the faithful choose to seek God's relationship.  It is evident in the Church history, while following the common Church observance,  every devoted religious order had specific focus on specific model of prayer. Some focused on contemplation, while others focused on meditation. some focused on spending their time alone with God, while others found God's presence among the people. In both status, Eucharis...
