To pray the Rosary
is to hand over our burdens
to the merciful hearts of Christ and his Mother.

 
Rosarium Virginis Mariae

Anyone who assimilates the mystery of Christ
–and this is clearly the goal of the Rosary –
learns the secret of peace and makes it his life's project.

 
Rosarium Virginis Mariae

The Rosary is the sweet chain that links us once again to God.
Recited with devotion,
it will help you assimilate the mystery of Christ,
to learn from him the secret of peace.

 
Rosarium Virginis Mariae

To rediscover the rosary
means to immerse ourselves in contemplation
of the mystery of Christ who ‘is our peace’.

 
Rosarium Virginis Mariae

The rosary has all the depth of the Gospel message
in its entirety.

 
Rosarium Virginis Mariae

We can never sufficiently recommend the saying of the Rosary,
not simply with the lips
but with the attention of the soul to the divine truths,
with a heart filled with love and gratitude.

 
Bl. John XXIII, 20th century

Of all prayers,
the Rosary is the most beautiful and the richest in grace;
it is the one most pleasing to Mary,
the Virgin most holy.

 
St. Pius X, 19th century

By its nature, the recitation of the rosary
calls for a quiet rhythm and a lingering pace,
helping the individual to meditate on the mysteries of the Lord's life
as seen through the eyes of her who was closest to the Lord.
