Grace n Anton

This is an excerpt from Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Adiutricem about the Rosary. It was written in 1895 and promotes devotion to the Rosary as a way to achieve unity among Christians. The Pope argues that Mary, as the Mother of God, is the greatest help for Christians and that her intercession, especially through the Rosary, can be the key to the reconciliation of separated Christians with the Catholic Church. The document emphasizes the importance of Mary in the history of the Church and her ongoing role in uniting Christians through her motherly love. The Pope also highlights the devotion to the Rosary throughout history, especially in the Eastern Churches, and how this can be used to promote Christian unity.
