The Rosary has been a major part of the Roman Catholic Church for over 500 years and paves the way for a greater understanding of the mystery of Christ celebrated within family prayer.
The Rosary is the essence of Christian devotion in which vocal and mental prayer unite the whole person in effective and purposeful meditation on the important events in the life of Christ and Mary. Rosaries are used as a helper to meditate on the key events (known as the mysteries) in the history of Christian salvation and to praise and thank God for them.
The Rosary thus joins the human race to God through Mary whom God chose from all time for the specific purposes of mother and intercessor.
