How I Pray
My
Rosary
(By Falher F. A. Galles)
Winston Churchill once said
something about Communism
being a mystery wrapped up in
an enigma and buried in a rid
dle. For many Catholics that
would be an apt description of
the Rosary. The Hail Marys, Our
Fathers, and Glorias aren’t so
bad, but the mysteries are real
ly mysteries.
In spite of the many diffi
culties that some Catholics en
counter in saying the Rosary, it
is quite amazing to find how
many there are who would no
more think of omitting their
daily Rosary than they would
think of skipping a meal. That
is one of the beauties of the
Rosary — the simple soul can
enjoy its rhythmic repetitions,
while the more learned can nev
er reach the depth of its mys
teries.
Mary in an apparition taught
St. Dominic how to say the Ros
ary back in 1208, but, perhaps,
no two people have ever said it
the same way since. Probably
this is by Mary’s design. I don’t
think that Mary only taught St.
Dominic the Rosary, but that
she has taught every soul to
pray who has ever fingered the
beads.
St. Paul viewed the whole of
history as the unfolding of the
mystery of God. To the Hebrews
he wrote: “God, who at sundry
times and divers manners spoke
in times past to the fathers by
the prophets, last of all in these
days has spoken to us by His
Son . . .”
God didn’t give His revelation
all at once. Man would have
been too overwhelmed. He gave
to each generation only as much
as they were prepared to re
ceive, and He asked only that
they live by the lights that had
been given them.
We know that the official pub
lic revelation of the Church end
ed with the death of the last
Apostle, but we may believe
that God continues to reveal
Himself privately to each indi
vidual w h o comes into the
world.
Mary also has her hand in this
private type of revelation. Sure
ly there is no human creature
more eager to make the God-
man known and loved. The
many apparitions of Mary
throughout • history—LaSallette,
Beauraing, Lourdes, and Fati
ma. to mention but a few —
seem to be proof positive that
Mary has a special role to un
fold the mysteries of God and
make known the divine will.
This series of articles on the
mysteries of the Rosary will be
entitled, “How I Pray My Ros
ary.” And it will be no more
than that. It will not be an ex
position of how you ought to
pray the Rosary, or how the
Church wants us to pray the
Rosary, but simply. “How I Pray
My Rosary.” Take it for what it’s
worth.
Sometimes, I guess, I don’t
think about much of anything
when I pray the Rosary. Let’s
just say it puts me in a mood.
Sometimes a joyful mood., some
times a sorrowful mood, some
times even a glorious mood, but
usually these moods have lots
of overtones — distractions, too,
but we know these distractions
don’t nullify a prayer unless
they are deliberate.
When you come to think
about it I think we can best de
scribe the effect of our dearest
friends upon us as something of
a mood. Maybe that’s why it is
so hard for the lover to say
really what the beloved does to
him. You can’t put it into words
—it’s just — well it’s just a
mood.
This mood which the Rosary
creates can serve as the back
ground against which we can
wrap the cares of everyday life
into the mysteries of Our Lord
and His Lady. This is just one
of the many ways to pray the
Rosary.
This is the centennial of
Mary’s apparition at Lourdes.
There, and in her other appari
tions. Mary asked for the recita
tion of the Rosary. Perhaps this
series of articles will promote
the fulfillment of this request
by making the mysteries of the
Rosary just a little less mys
terious.

One Man’s
Mother
(Continued from Page One)
dedicated completely to the
service of God, a life of pen
ance, prayer and sacrifice for
her sons and others around her.
Two hours a day she gave to
meditation and the Rosary.
Three days a week she fasted
rigorously from all but the bar
est sustenance. In the privacy
of her garret room the devout
woman, with the permission of
her confessor, disciplined her
body with a stinging leather
strap.
Villagers knew the widow as
one never too busy to help oth
ers. She visited the sick in their
homes, to clean and cook for
those who were not able, to
wash their sores, risking con
tagion where others would not.
Father Fernandez remembers
his mother leaning out the
kitchen window, giving food to
the hungry poor — her own
meals.
And there were hardened sin
ners, . communist sympathizers
among them, often years away
from Mass, who died thanking
the gentle senora for helping
them return to the sacraments
in time.
Tragedy had struck again dur
ing this period. One of her sons,
Arturo, 11 years old, died in
1931, victim of a rail accident
like his father.
By 1933 Asturias was under
the rule of communist violence.
The village church, which she
had attended for 14 years, burn
ed before the widow’s eyes. In
December, 1934, as Franco’s
forces fought to stem the Red
tide, Senora Fernandez, already
called the “Saint of Suero,”
joined the streams of Catholics
who sought refuge in the city
of Oviedo.
Here she learned of the death
of another son, Celestino, who
had sacrificed a legal career to
fight for Franco. And here, in
October, 1936, as communist ar
tillery hurled shells into the
city, Praxedes Fernanadez
breathed her last, offering “for
the salvation of Spain” the life
that was ebbing from her.
Praxedes Fernandez’s body,
given mass burial with the rest
of the dead of besieged Oviedo,
was never recovered. But the
fame and example of her sanct
ity grew with the passing years.
One son. Gabriel, now works
in the mines near Suero. An
other ordained in 1941, was as
signed to the Dominican noviti
ate in Ross in 1951.
Father Fernandez had been
two years in California when
■word reached him that the par
ish priests of the Oviedo arch
diocese had petitioned the op
ening of his mother’s cause for
beatification.
“I knew, of course, the esteem
her life inspired,” he said. “But
that a simple widow should be
proposed for such an honor . .
Two thousand Asturians
watched last November, in the
provincial capital of Mieres, as
Oviedo’s Archbishop Javier
Lauzurica opened the informa
tive process, first of the many
steps that may lead Praxedes
Fernandez to the title of Bless
ed.

all the way to the United States
Supreme Court.”
The Senator said that in his
state “we are not limited by pre
judice with regard to transpor
tation and textbook facilities be
ing supplied boys and girls in
private schools.”
Referring to “t h e public
service rendered by our private
schools,” Sen. Morse added:
“I make that point from time
to time when I receive irate
letters from some constitut.ent
taking me to task because I will
not support some proposal, for
example, which seems to deny
to boys and girls who go to pri
vate schools the use of public
bus service to school; or taking
me to task because I continue
to support, for example, the
textbook system we have in my
state . . .”
Sen. Morse also called atten
tion to the funds saved taxpay
ers by self-supporting private
schools.
“Let us assume that we could
press a button and close all the
private schools of America. As
sume that this is the beginning
of a new school year, and that
ail those boys and girls would
have to appear .at public school
doors tomorrow morning. Then
the taxpayers of the country, I
believe, would have a better un
derstanding of the public serv
ice which is rendered by private
schools,” he said.
WASHINGTON, (NC) — Con
gress has passed and sent to the
President a bill to give Federal
aid to both public and private
schools.
The measure provides about
$900 million for aid to education
during the next four years, al
though a Senate-House confer
ence eliminated student scholar
ships from the program.
Private schools will share in
the money allocated to the two
largest areas of the program —
student loans and funds for
equipment.
The bill provides $295 mil
lion for loans to college stu
dents. The loans will be ad
ministered through the schools,
with the government putting up
90 percent of the money and
the colleges 10 per cent. Indi
vidual students will be eligible
for loans up to $1,000 a year,
with the total available to any
one student limited to $5,000.
The bill states that recipients
of such loans are to be students
of superior academic back
ground who express a desire to
teach in elementary or second
ary schools, public or private,
and who demonstrate ability in
science, mathematics, engineer
ing or a modern foreign lang
uage.
The loans are to be repaid at
three per cent interest, begin
ning one year after the student
leaves school. The bill provides
that a student may pay off Op
to 50 per cent of a loan by
teaching in a public school.
The measure provides that
nonprofit elementary and high
schools may receive low interest
government loans to buy equip
ment.
It allocates about nine million
dollars for such loans.
Teachers in private schools
will be allowed to take part in
special institutes for training in
sciences and foreign languages,
under terms of the bill, although
they will not be given stipends,
as their public school counter
parts will. The institutes will be
held at universities.

War n Of
"Crusade Of
Understanding"
Catholic personages have
received appeals for a contri
bution to a non-sectarian
Shrine to George Washington
Carver, to be built near the
Carver birthplace at Dia
mond, Missouri.
The appeals came from the
Crusade for Understanding,
which gave an address of 422
Washington Building, Wash
ington, D. C., and stated that
there would be a memorial
window to the late Cardinal
Stritch in the shrine.
Inquiries at the . Washing
ton Building, which is located
in the heart of downtown
Washington, failed to reveal
knowledge of the Crusade
for Understanding. Room 422
is occupied by an answering
service, where it was said the
Crusade had not been heard
of there. The superintendent
of the building said she had
no knowledge of the Crusade
for Understanding ever hav
ing been a tenant in the
building.
A letter addressed to the
.Crusade for Understanding
at 422 Washington Building
was returned by the Post Of
fice Department marked “Not

Of Feast Pays
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
SUNDAY, September 7 — St.
Nemorius and Companions,
Martyrs. Registered in the Ro
man Martyrology as St. Nemori
us, he is also known as St. Mem-
orius but is more popularly ven
erated as St. Mesmin. He was a
deacon of Troyes, France. With
five companions he was sent by
St. Lupus, under whom he serv
ed, to the camp of Attila the
Hun, who then was ravaging
Gaul, to implore mercy of the
Barbarian leader. Attila had all
six beheaded, about 451. How
ever, the prayers of Bishop St.
Lupus were answered and
Troyes was spared from ravage.
MONDAY, September 8—The

birth, free from original sin, of
the Jewish maiden of the house
of David, destined to become
the Mother of God. Her parents
were SS. Joachim and Anne.
TUESDAY, September 9—St.
Gorgonius, Martyr. He and St.
Dorotheus were favorites of
Emperor Diocletian and officials
of his court in Nicodemia, Asia
Minor, but the hatred of Chris
tianity caused the Emperor to
have them hanged for their
Faith about 303. An account of
their martyrdom was left by
Eusebius of Caesarea, a contem
porary. The remains of St. Gor
gonius were brought to Rome
during the reign of Pope St.
Gregory IV.
WEDNESDAY, September 10
— St. Nicholas of Tolentino,
Confessor. He was born in an
swer to the prayers of a holy

which he belonged. He died in
1310.
THURSDAY, September 11—
SS. Protus and Hyacinth, Mar
tyrs. According to tradition,
they were brothers, Romans by
birth and servants in the house
of St. Eugenia. Seized in the

they were scourged and behead
ed about 257.
FRIDAY, September 12 —
Feast of the Most Holy Name of

Christian. He is said to have
been martyred in Egypt in the
third century.

riched as we paused in the
Chapel of the Blessed Sacra
ment in thanksgiving and knelt
as well in the Chapel of the
saintly, Pius X. We should re
mark in passing that here in
the Bascilica of St. Peter, as in
most of the great churches of
Europe, the Blessed Sacrament
is not kept at the main altar but
in a special Chapel, generally to
the right of the nave. This Chap
el of the Blessed Sacrament is
the most gorgeous of ail the
many Chapels of St. Peter’s and
contains among other treasures
the tomb of Pope Sixtus IV.
Even though the pause here was
but momentary, a flood of his
torical facts borne down upon
us and enlivened a memory,
which, before our visit to Rome
was over, would be implement
ed by a visit to the Sistine
Chapel. It was in the reign of
Pius IV, in 1473, the Sistine
Chapel, the greatest artistic
treasure of the western world,
was constructed. Dominated by
Michael Angelos’ mighty fresco,
THE LAST JUDGMENT, the
Sistine Chapel witnesses to the
election of the Popes.
With memories coming to life,
even as we quickly moved on
out of the Basilica with our
thoughts on the afternoon and
the thrill it held for us, we felt
our Roman stay would be all
too brief to satisfy the memories
that now took hold on us. As we
returned to the Basilica in the
afternoon around four o’clock,
eager crowds had already be
gun to assemble. Our position
was already secure. His Excel
lency, our Archbishop, had seen
to that. Thousands upon thou
sands of people were there in
the Basilica awaiting the com
ing of His Holiness, Pope Pius
XII. Even so, the members of
our Pilgrimage were so station
ed that their position became
pardonably enviable. The plat
form from which the Holy Fa
ther addressed the assemblage
was at the Altar of the Confes
sion and our group was just off
the right of the platform and
behind the low wooden barrier
which marked the width of the
center aisle and formed a short
enclosure in and about the Altar
of the Confession. It was our
privilege to sit within the en
closure with our Archbishop,
who enjoyed precedence among
the Archbishops and Bishops
present by reason of his position
of Apostolic Delegate.
There was an air of tenseness
as the hour drew near for the
appearance of the Pope and it
was not at all surprising or dis-
edifying when this air of tense
ness suddenly became charged
by the vocal enthusiasm of the
tens of thousands of those in at
tendance. Indeed, now that we
too had been swept by the
strong tide of enthusiasm which
marks the appearance of the
Pope, we would think it un
natural if the crowd did not
respond according^.
Above the din of the crowd,
commanding it by the radiant
sweetness of his saintly per
sonality and, as it were, em
bracing it by his characteristic
gesture, Pius XII made his way
up the aisle to the platform at
the Altar of the Confession. Car
ried on the sedia gestatoria, the
warmth of his personality reach
ed out to the uttermost rim of
the assembled multitude. Arriv
ing at the Altar of the Confes
sion, he was soon off the “sedia”
and, with an agility that was
childlike in its movement, he as
cended the platform from which
he was to address first of all the
multitude in general and then
the groups which were to get
formal recognition. Ours was
the singular privilege of formal
recognition. Thrilling beyond
measure it was to hear the name
SAVANNAH come over the
loud sneakers. More thrilling
still it was when, having spoken
in some six languages, His Hol
iness came down the steps of
the platform and immediately
greeted our Archbishop. Stand
ing alongside the Archbishop, it
was our high honor to be pre
sented to Our Holy Father. Hav
ing kissed his ring, we in turn
accompanied the Pope to the
wooden barrier behind which
the members of our Pilgrimage
were standing. Each member of
the Savannah Pilgrimage then
shared the unique honor of
greeting His Holiness individu
ally. At least we though so until
the Pope moved on to other
groups. Then we learned that
three members of our party had
not been presented. With a cour
tesy that was exquisite in its
thoughtfulness, at the request of
Archbishop O’Hara, the Holy
Father returned to our group
and, with a radiance that was
charming beyond description, he
asked for the three. Here stood
Pius XII, whose heart and mind

any human in the world today
As he stood waiting for the
three, he seemed a man with a
single thought and that, that our
our fellow-pilgrims would not
be disappointed. Words are, in
deed, inadequate to describe the
scene. It was not at all shocking
that once the Holy Father re
sumed the “sedia gastoria” and
started down the aisle that our
own party found its pent up
emotion expressing itself above
the roar of the crowd with
“three cheers for Our Holy Fa
ther, Savannah, Savannah, Sav
annah.”
Much more could be written
of our stay in Rome but to do so
would be anti-climatic. Whether
it was the other three major
Basilicas or the Vatican Muse
ums; whether it was the so-
called Colosseum, the Forum, or
the Pantheon; whether it was
the Appian Way and the locale
of Quo Vadis or the Catacombs
of St. Sebastian — all, even
though its ruins spoke of eight
centuries before Christ, yes all
finds meaning and survival in
him whose saintly personality
captivated our hearts and whose
showing of “Rome Eeternal.”
The president asked that all
ladies of the deanery council
become members of St. Mary’s
Guild, and stated that envelopes
for membership would be dis
tributed at the September parish
council meetings.
The regular fall deanery

Without Pius XII and his pre
decessors Rome would be a great
mausoleum piece; with the
Popes it is vital, it is moving, it
is, indeed, eternity in time.
