As a Catholic I never have to say a Rosary.

It’s not a condition for my salvation.

It seems: ineffectively.

How does the Rosary incorporate Mary into prayer?

I’m not sure I understand the question. We ask for her prayers. We speak words of praise to her and ask her, “et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium, ostende.” [And, after our exile, show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb.]

But the soul of the Rosary is “meditation” on 20 different topics,(in groups of 5) the “mysteries.” And how people meditate is an individual matter. The last time I meditated on the Annunciation, for example, I thought mostly about the wonder of the “rational animal” and life beginning at conception.

I hope that’s kind of responsive.
