ROSARY@5 – 13 July 2024 Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B

Introduction to Fr Dolindo Ruotolo's The Rosary of Jesus, the Word Incarnate: A Personal Encounter with Christ - In the vast treasury of Catholic spirituality, few devotions have touched the hearts of the faithful as profoundly as the Rosary. It is a prayer that transcends time, bringing us into the very heart of the Gospel and inviting us to meditate on the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo, a humble yet extraordinary servant of God, offers us a fresh and deeply personal approach to this cherished devotion in his work, The Rosary of Jesus, the Word Incarnate: A Personal Encounter with Christ. Fr. Dolindo, known for his profound spirituality and intimate relationship with the Divine, invites us to experience the Rosary not merely as a recitation of prayers, but as a transformative journey into the mysteries of Christ’s life. His unique insights and reflections help to illuminate the profound connection between the mysteries of the Rosary and our own personal journey of faith. In The Rosary of Jesus, the Word Incarnate, Fr. Dolindo emphasizes the centrality of Jesus as the Word made flesh. Each meditation is an invitation to encounter Jesus anew, to walk with Him through His joys, His sufferings, and His glorious triumph. This encounter is not distant or abstract; it is deeply personal and profoundly real, inviting us to allow Jesus to transform our hearts and lives through His divine presence. This work is more than a guide; it is a spiritual companion that leads us into a deeper communion with Christ. As we pray the Rosary with Fr. Dolindo’s reflections, we are drawn into the very heart of the Gospel, experiencing the love and mercy of Jesus in a way that is both intimate and life-changing. It is a call to immerse ourselves in the mysteries of Christ, to let His Word become flesh in our lives, and to encounter Him in a deeply personal and transformative way. Fr. Dolindo’s profound understanding of the Rosary as a path to personal encounter with Christ invites us to renew our devotion and to experience the Rosary as a powerful means of grace and spiritual renewal. In these pages, you will find not just a method of prayer, but a doorway to a deeper relationship with Jesus, the Word Incarnate, whose love and mercy are boundless. May this work inspire you to embrace the Rosary with renewed fervour, to meditate on the mysteries of Christ with deeper insight, and to encounter the living Jesus in a way that transforms your heart and soul.
