The Rosary:
Early Christians wanted to recite
the 150 psalms for the Hebrew Bible on a daily and weekly basis. Finding this
task impossible they came up with this solution. The created the Rosary a
string of 150 beads to help them remember and they included the Our Father. In
the middle ages, Christians added the Hail Mary. As time went by the Apostles Creed
was added as well as the Glory Be and Hail Holy Queen. These became known as
the trimmings.
Recent death:
Prayers are requested
for Margaret Riding (nee Corcoran) late of Newtown and Nottingham who died
recently in England. May she rest in peace.
