The Holy Rosary
The Rosary is a prayer that the Church received in
1214 by St. Dominic, who had received it from the
Blessed Virgin as a means of converting the
Albigensians and other sinners.

The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer


because within it lies the awesome story of our
salvation.
The Living Rosary
The Association of the Living Rosary was founded in
Lyon, France by Ven Pauline-Marie Jaricot in 1826. It
is a powerful devotion dedicated to Our Lady. Pope
Gregory XVI declared Saint Philomena the Patroness
of the Living Rosary.
Based in Scripture

The various prayers of the Rosary can be


found in Scripture:

• The Lord’s Prayer can be found in the


Gospels.

• The first part of the Hail Mary is the


Annunciation and Visitation.

• The Mysteries of the Rosary focus on


Jesus’ life.

The Rosary as
Contemplative Prayer
• The repetition in the Rosary
allows us to enter more deeply
into prayer.

• As we repeat the words, we move


gently into the silence of our
hearts where we encounter the
indwelling of God’s spirit.

The Word Rosary
• The word Rosary means "Crown of Roses"

NOTE: Our Lady has revealed that each time we say a Hail Mary,
we 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.
