Laetitiae Sanctae - Pope Leo XIII - promoting devotion to the Rosary
This document is an excerpt from an encyclical issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1893, titled Laetitiae Sanctae, promoting devotion to the Rosary. The Pope argues that the Rosary, if practiced devoutly, can benefit both individuals and society as a whole by promoting virtues like simplicity, humility, and patience, which he believes are lacking in modern society. He also emphasizes the importance of remembering one's future life in heaven, stating that focusing solely on earthly pleasures leads to a lack of spiritual growth. The Pope goes on to advocate for the establishment and growth of Rosary Confraternities, which he sees as a powerful tool for spiritual renewal and social betterment.
