Deepertruth. The Virgin Mary appears to St. Dominic and the story of the Rosary

The historical impact of the Virgin Mary appearing to St. Dominic can be seen from the Heavenly results

1. given the fact that the members of the Militia of Jesus Christ founded by St. Dominic, or by a Dominican of his day, prayed the 150 Hail Marys daily. . . .
2. given the fact of St. Dominic’s devotion to Mary and his ardent prayer in combatting the great heresy of his day… along with the testimony of ALAN DE RUPE that St. Dominic did receive some communication from the Mother of God as to how to combat the errors of his time. . . . (If Our Lady at Fatima gave us a remedy in this century for overcoming Communism and attaining peace – which remedy included the Rosary – does it not seem probable that she would have intervened in the 13th century offering a means of combatting the devastating heresy of Albigensianism – as tradition assures us she did.)
3. given the fact that, as some of his biographers explain, a common manner of preaching of Dominic was the frequent alternating of his instruction on the mysteries of our faith with prayer. . . .
4. given the fact that the first beginning of this devotion in the time of Dominic was vastly different from its present structure, that then there was no set sequence of the mysteries, and that even the name (Rosary) had not yet been established. . . .
5. given the fact that many convents with their libraries were destroyed in the religious persecutions that followed the 13th century. . . .
