Tom walks through how to pray the Rosary
Tom Collins speaks about Mary, the mother of Jesus, each year to the RCIA program at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Cedar Park, near Austin. This talk was recorded on 13 December 2005. Tom discusses what Catholics do and do not believe about Mary. Tom shares his personal story, walks through the Bible to explain Mary's role, and explains common questions such as the Immaculate Conception, Mary as the "New Eve," Mary as the "Mother of God," and Marian Apparitions. The talk has been broken up into 5 parts. Some of the 5 parts have in turn been broken down into parts I, II, and III to fit the size requirements for online video sharing.
1. Introduction: Tom explains the goals for the talk
2. Tom Collins Story: Tom tells his personal story, how Mary has worked in his life
3. Mary In Scripture: Tom walks through the Gospel of Luke, explaining "Hail, full of grace," the Immaculate Conception, Mary as the New Eve, Mary's Magnficat, and how Catholics regard Mary as the Mother of God (Daughter of the Father, Spouse of the Spirit, Mother of the Son). Tom then walks through the Gospel of John, Genesis, Revelation, and Acts. The Wedding at Cana, the "Hail Mary" as a prayer, the meaning of "Woman," the image of Our Lady at Guadalupe, how Jesus gives Mary to John (and all of us) at the foot of the cross, Pentecost, the Assumption, and a memory trigger for Mary's roles -- the 5 M's - Mother, Mediatrix (Intercessor), Model, Major-General, Messenger.
4. Marian Apparitions: Tom briefly explains some of the appearances Mary has made, including Guadalupe, Fatima, Lourdes, and Medjugorje.
5. How To Pray The Rosary: Tom walks through how to pray a rosary, including the prayers, the purpose, and how to evolve from repetition to contemplation on Jesus Christ.
this is an excellent starter video for me, makes so much sense since I am a newbie! Can you post a video on how to pray the Divine Chaplet using the rosary? Or direct me to one? I like how you literally show what each bead is and where you should be, that helps SO much.Thanks!
