The Rosary

Thanks Sue for sharing the following:

The Rosary is the simplest yet most profound of prayers. In the words
of Saint Louis de Montfort
"It is a priceless treasure which is inspired by God." The Rosary is made up of two things: mental prayer and vocal prayer. In the Rosary mental prayer is none other than meditation of the chief mysteries of the life, death and glory of Jesus Christ and of his blessed Mother. Vocal prayer consists in praying the decades of the Hail Mary, each decade headed by an Our Father, while at the same time meditating on and contemplating the principal virtues which Jesus and Mary practised in the mysteries of the Rosary.
For more information on the Rosary and for a Scriptural Rosary complete with pictures, please be sure to visit the The Holy Rosary Page of my Catholic Homeschooling website.
