As an aside, I should add that there were some innovations added in the 20th Century, such as the “Fatima Prayer,” and the “Luminous Mysteries,” but the above reflects the Rosary as it had been said for hundreds of years prior.
And in case you were curious. The five mysteries of that wonderful 21st century innovation that is prayed by Catholics all over the world are:
The Baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan
The Wedding Feast at Cana
The Proclamation of the Kingdom and the Call to Conversion
The Transfiguration
The Institution of the Eucharist
His late and great Holiness, Pope John Paul II was inspired to add a mystery that focused on Christ’s public ministry - thus we are blessed with the option of praying the Mysteries of Light or the Luminous mysteries.
I hope you try it out eastforker. My college roommate who was a solid and very well-educated Calvinist began “experimenting” when his girlfriend (now wife) had become an agnostic. He was ready to call off the relationship, but thought he would try a rosary or two as a last ditch effort and Mary came through for him!
