ADDITIONAL EXERCISES OF LOVE AND DEVOTION

The Seven Celestial Joys of Mary, Most Holy

St. Thomas Becket was accustomed to say daily Hail Mary’s in commemoration of Our Lady’s Seven Earthly Joys. On one occasion, while engaged in this devotion, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him and said: "Thomas, your devotion is most acceptable to Me; but why do you call to mind only the joys which I had on earth? Henceforth remember those also which are Mine in Heaven; for everyone who honors both of these, I will console, strengthen and present to My Most Dear Son at the hour of death." St. Thomas felt his soul filled with marvelous exaltation, and he cried out: "And how, Sweetest Lady, can I do this, when I do not so much as know what these joys are?" She answered: "Say the Hail Mary seven times daily. First because the Most Holy Trinity honors Me above all creatures; secondly because My Virginity has elevated Me above all the Angels and Saints; thirdly because the great light of My glory illumines the heavens; fourthly because all the Blessed honor Me as Mother of God; fifthly because My Son grants Me whatever I ask; sixthly for the grace bestowed on earth and the glory prepared in Heaven for My clients; lastly on account of My accidental glory, which will go on increasing until the day of general resurrection." It was after this that St. Thomas composed a Sequence on these joys – Gaude Flore Virginali.

The Brigittine Mysteries of the Rosary

It is well known that Saint Teresa of Avila prayed the Rosary daily. It is related that while she was traveling throughout Spain, she enjoyed the hospitality of at least one Brigittine Monastery and, from these Sisters, learned to say their six-decade Rosary. The six-decade Rosary was later adopted as the Rosary of the Discalced Carmelite habit, with a large medal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in addition to, or even in place of, the crucifix found on the Dominican Rosary. Only six of the eighteen decades are worn, as opposed to the entire fifteen decades of the Dominican Rosary, which are worn with the religious habits of some other Orders.

The Brigittine (or "Saint Bridget") Rosary looks similar to a regular Rosary, but with an extra decade. The resultant seven Pater beads honor the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the sixty-three Ave Maria beads commemorate the sixty-three years it is believed Our Blessed Mother lived on this earth before Her Assumption. In praying the Brigittine Rosary, there are a total of eighteen decades: In the six Joyful Mysteries, the first is the Immaculate Conception; the sixth of the Sorrowful Mysteries commemorates the Compassion of Mary, when the Body of Our Lord was placed in the arms of His Sorrowful Mother; and the sixth of the Glorious Mysteries is recited in honor of the Patronage of Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace (and, for the Carmelites, the Patronage of Mary, Queen Beauty of Carmel). The other mysteries are the same as in the Dominican Rosary.

• The First Joyful Mystery, the Immaculate Conception – We offer unto Thee, O Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, Most Holy; and we offer it unto Thee in reparation for the offenses committed against Her Immaculate Heart.
• The Sixth Sorrowful Mystery, the Compassion of Mary – We offer unto Thee, O Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of the compassion of Our Most Sorrowful Mother as She received Thy Crucified Body from the Cross; and we beg of Thee the grace to always console Her by a life of constant fidelity.
• The Sixth Glorious Mystery, the Patronage of Mary – We offer unto Thee, O Lord Jesus, this decade in honor of the tender, constant, powerful, loving Patronage of Our Most Holy Mother Mary; and we thank Thee for so glorious a Mother and Queen.
