DIUTURNI TEMPORI - A summary of the pope's teaching on the rosary

The source examines Pope Leo XIII's 1892 encyclical "Magnae Dei Matris" on the Rosary, exploring its historical context and significance. The encyclical positions the Rosary as a powerful spiritual weapon against challenges to faith, particularly in the context of the Albigensian heresy. Pope Leo XIII emphasizes the role of Mary as a motherly intercessor, connecting her to the mysteries of Christ's life and resurrection. He further argues that reflecting on these mysteries through the Rosary promotes personal spiritual growth and fuels action in the world, leading to change both individually and societally.
