As an outsider looking in, there is much I don't understand about supremely important things.
Mass and the Rosary are two of them.
Was this article helpful in understanding the Mass?
The prayer of the Rosary is a memorial of the life of Jesus. Each mystery of the Rosary is a mystery of remembrance of what God has done for His people. Pondering the life of Jesus Christ helps to renew our minds and hearts by drawing us closer to what is true, good and beautiful. Essentially, the Rosary is a compendium of the Gospel.
The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer. It begins with the Apostles' Creed, which summarizes the great mysteries of the Catholic faith. The Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is from the Gospels. The first part of the Hail Mary is the angel's words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary. St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The Mysteries of the Rosary center on the events of Christ's life. There are four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious andadded by Pope John Paul II in 2002the Luminous.
