22 now he has reconciled you, by his death and in that mortal body, to bring you before himself holy, faultless and irreproachable-
23 as long as you persevere and stand firm on the solid base of the faith, never letting yourselves drift away from the hope promised by the gospel, which you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become the servant
Reading 1, Col 1:21-23
Gospel, Lk 6:1-5
1 It happened that one Sabbath he was walking through the cornfields, and his disciples were picking ears of corn, rubbing them in their hands and eating them.
3 Jesus answered them, 'So you have not read what David did when he and his followers were hungry- 4 how he went into the house of God and took the loaves of the offering and ate them and gave them to his followers, loaves which the priests alone are allowed to eat?'
5 And he said to them, 'The Son of man is master of the Sabbath.'

ஓர் மன்றாட்டு
அம்மா மரியே அன்பாய் எனையே
அரவணைப்பாய் தாயே
பெற்றபிள்ளை நானுனக்கு
பிரிய தாயும் நீ எனக்கு
உற்ற துணையாய் நீ இருக்க
உலகில் எனக்கு பயமில்லையே - அம்மா
அரவணைப்பாய் தாயே
பெற்றபிள்ளை நானுனக்கு
பிரிய தாயும் நீ எனக்கு
உற்ற துணையாய் நீ இருக்க
உலகில் எனக்கு பயமில்லையே - அம்மா
உன் திருவடியில் என் தலைசாய்த்து
உன் மகான் இயேசுவைப போல் எனைக் காத்து
அவர் முக தரிசனம்
அமைந்திடச் செய்வாய்-அம்மா
seivaai
வேண்டும் வரமருளும் வேளாங்கண்ணி அன்னையே
ஈண்டும், மதுரை அண்ணாநகரிலும் எழுந்தருளி
எம்மை நிதம் காத்துவரும் அன்னையே
நீ போற்றி போற்றி! எந்நாளும் போற்றி !
அன்பின் ஊற்று நீ ஆதரவின் சிகரம் நீ
கருணைக்கடல் நீ காப்பதில் அன்னை நீ
சாதி மத பேதமின்றி
வந்தவர்க்கெல்லாம் வாரி வழங்கும் அன்னை நீ
நீ வாழ்க! என்னாளும் வாழ்க!
"அன்னை மரிவழி ஆண்டவன் இயேசு திருவடி"
என்ற திருத்தல விருதினை எல்லாரும் அறிந்திட
அதற்கு ஏற்றபடி நடந்திட அன்னையே
வரமருள்வாய் தாயே.

The Rosary is a Marian prayer that depicts the Biblical life of Jesus.
Pope John Paul II calls the Rosary a "compendium of the Gospel message" in his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, published October 16, 2002. The 5 Mysteries of Light or the Luminous Mysteries were added to the traditional Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries with the publication of this Apostolic Letter.
The Rosary was once thought to originate from the ancient prayer or worry beads of the Middle East and Asia, although those beads largely have 33 beads. Others point to prayer beads that were used to count the 150 Psalms. But it was St. Dominic in 1208 who began to spread devotion to the Rosary.
Domingo de Guzman was a Spanish preacher who went to southern France to preserve the faith against the Albigensian heresy. In 1208 while he was praying for three days in a chapel in Prouille, Dominic saw Mary, who gave him the Rosary and taught him how to pray the Rosary. St. Dominic founded the Dominican Friars, and established monasteries all over the world. The heresy ended during his lifetime. The most famous Dominican was St. Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274), one of greatest theologians of the Catholic Church, the author of Summa Theologica. The Blessed Mother also gave 15 reassuring promises to St. Dominic for those who faithfully recite the rosary: (1) Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces. (2) I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. (3) The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. (4) It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. (5) The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish. (6) Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. (7) Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. (8) Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. (9) I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. (10) The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. (11) You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. (12) All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. (13) I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death. (14) All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. (15) Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
In addition, the Blessed Virgin Mary, during an appearance on December 10, 1925 to Sister Lucy, one of the Fatima children, promised the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death to all those who, for five first Saturdays in a row, went to Confession, Mass, Communion, recited the Rosary, and kept her company for 15 minutes while meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to the Blessed Mother.
