What The Rosary Is

The Rosary is made up of two things: mental and vocal prayer.
In the Holy Rosary mental prayer is meditation of the mysteries
of the life, death, and glory of Jesus Christ +++ and of
 the Blessed Mother. Vocal prayer consists in saying 15.
decades (1 decade is 10 beads or say 10 times.) of the Hail Mary,
each decade headed by an Our Father first. While at the same time
meditating on and contemplating the 15 principal virtues which
Jesus and Mary practiced in the 15 mysteries of the Holy Rosary.

In the first 5 decades we must honor Christ Birth; The Joyous
Mysteries. 

In the second 5 decades we honor Christ Death; The Sorrowful
Mysteries.

In the third 5 decades we honor Christ Resurrection; The Glorious
Mysteries.

Now we have 5 more decades given by Pope John Paul II; The 
Luminous Mysteries. 

So, the Rosary is a blessed blending of mental and vocal prayer
by which we honor and learn to imitate The Mysteries and
Virtues of the life, death, passion, and glory of Jesus and Mary.
The Rosary had been in use for centuries, from the time of
the disciples down to the present. 1214 the Rosary was given.
to the Holy Mother Church in its present form, we use today!

It was received by St. Dominic from the Blessed Virgin Mary
as a powerful means of conversion of sinners/ for ALL people's
HEARTS to turn towards God.  We are walking.
through the scripture life of Jesus and offering our prayers
to God +++
