The Rosary is a prayer that always accompanies me it is also the prayer of the ordinary people and the saints … it is a prayer from my heart. In November 2022, Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco invited the faithful to pray a “Rosary for Peace” on Election Day. In May 2022, Pope Francis called on Christians to pray “the Holy Rosary for peace” in response to the war in Ukraine. The Rosary remains an important prayer today. In his 2002 apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, Pope John Paul II wrote that with the Rosary, “the Christian people sits at the school of Mary and is led to contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of his love.” When we pray the Rosary, we ask Mary to pray for us as we seek to grow closer to her son Jesus by contemplating His life, death, and Resurrection. The Rosary is a meditative prayer based on Scripture. How to Say the Rosary Guide: Table of Contents
