One cannot say enough good things about the rosary!

This whole concept is very mysterious to me. I can’t see why reciting these words over and over should have such a powerful effect, but they do. Why? Why? Why should Our Lady respond so strongly to this, rather than to the words of spontaneous prayer? Clearly she does, but I don’t understand why. Do we know why or do we just accept it as fact?

I will say that when I join other members of my congregation in reciting the Rosary after weekday mass, I have never felt such a sense of reverence, awe, and plain spiritual gratitude.
