The purpose of the Rosary is to help remember certain main events in the history of our salvation. There are twenty mysteries reflected in the rosary, and these are divided into five joyful mysteries (said on Monday and Saturday), the five luminous mysteries (said on Thursday), the five sorrowful mysteries (said on Tuesday and Friday) , and the five Glorious Mysteries (said on Wednesday and Sunday). As an exception, the Joyful Mysteries can be said on the Sundays of Advent and Christmas, while the Sorrowful Mysteries can be said on the Sundays of Lent.

The question is sometimes asked, why, of all the incidents in the life of our Lord, the Rosary only considers these twenty individuals. The mysteries of the Rosary are based on the incidents in the life of Our Lord and of his Mother which are celebrated in the liturgy. There is a parallel between the main feasts honoring our Lord and his Mother in the liturgical year, and the twenty mysteries of the Rosary. Therefore, whoever recites the twenty mysteries of the Rosary in one day reflects on the whole liturgical cycle that the Church commemorates during each year. This is why some popes have qualified the Rosary as a collection of the Gospel. We cannot change the mysteries of the Rosary without losing the indulgences that the Church grants for the recitation of the Rosary.

The Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a Hail Mary, they offer her a beautiful rose and that each complete rosary makes her a wreath of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and therefore the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because it contains the impressive story of our salvation. With the Rosary, in fact, we meditate on the mysteries of the joy, the pain, the glory and the light of Jesus and Mary. It is a simple prayer, humble like Mary. It is a prayer that we can all say with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary, we invite her to pray for us. Notre-Dame always grants our request. She joins her prayer to ours. Therefore, it always becomes more useful, because what Mary asks, She always receives, Jesus can never say no to what His Mother asks. In each apparition, the Heavenly Mother invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace. With your prayer with your Heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift of bringing about a change of heart and conversion. Every day, through prayer, you can drive away from yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils.

It may seem like a repetitive prayer, but it's more like two lovers who say the words to each other several times: "I love you" ...

The Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary are said on Sunday and Wednesday. The Blessed Virgin Mary asked us to pray the Rosary. The Queen of Heaven calls us to pray! Let's do it!

In the first mystery, we meditated on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We pray for the gift of faith.

In the second mystery of the Holy Rosary, we focus on the glorious event of Jesus' ascension to heaven. We pray for the gift of hope.

But this rosary asks Our Lady to pray for us, and it has deep historical roots in Christianity, dating back to the early centuries of the Church. The Church has always believed in the communion of saints. What this means is that those who are marked with the sign of faith and who return home to the Lord are always united with us. They pray for us; they pray with us. As the author of the Hebrew Letter said, “They are that great cloud of witnesses.
