About
The Rosary
It can seem a repetitive prayer but instead it is like two sweethearts who many times say one another the words: "I love you"... The whole Rosary is composed of twenty decades. Each decade is recited in honor of a mystery in Our Lord's Life and that of his Blessed Mother.It is customary to recite five decades at a time while meditating on one set of mysteries. The decades may be separated, if the entire chaplet is completed on the same day.Each Mystery may be meditate "bead by bead" for every Hail Mary of the decade. The Holy Father John Paul II with the Apostolic Letter ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE of 10/16/2002 has added 5 new mysteries of the Rosary: The Mysteries of the Light.

The
word Rosary means "Crown of Roses".
Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a
Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete
Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers,
and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore
the most important one. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer
because within it lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the
Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the
glory of Jesus and Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like
Mary. It's a prayer we can all say together with Her, the Mother of
God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to pray for us. Our Lady always
grants our request. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore it becomes
ever more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus
can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition,
the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful
weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace. With your prayer made
together with Your heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift
of bringing about a change of hearts and conversion. Each day, through
prayer you can drive away from yourselves and from your homeland many
dangers and many evils.
