The Rosary is one of the most representative sacramentals of the Catholic Faith. Many Saints through out history have had great devotion to the Holy Rosary, and for many good reasons.
The Holy Rosary was entrusted to the Church by our Blessed mother.
The Structure of the Rosary is based in sacred scripture.
The rosary has been called the preparation for contemplation and the prayer of saints. While the hands and lips are occupied with the prayers ,the mind meditates on the mysteries of the Incarnation and Redemption represented by the decades. Meditation is the form of prayer by which the one who prays uses the mind and imagination to consider a truth and uses the will to love it and form resolutions to live it. In this way the heart, mind, and soul of the Christian is formed according to the Gospel examples of the Savior and His First Disciple, His Mother. In God's own time, when this purification of the heart, mind, and soul has advanced sufficiently the Lord may give the grace of contemplative prayer, that special divine insight into the truth which human effort cannot achieve on its own.
