So the structure formed up around 15 mysteries getting 10 Aves apiece == 150 — as many Hail Marys as psalms. St. J2P2 the Great broke that connection when he proposed 5 new mysteries.

Volume over content?

This poor, ol' dumb prot thinks that Hail JESUS' would be a LOT more effective.

But what do I know; as I've not been assured of the MYSTERY involved here.

Ha!!!

I don't know what purpose snark serves here. The “mysteries” of the Rosary are

JOYFUL
Annunciation
Visitation
Nativity
Presentation
Finding Jesus in the Temple

LUMINOUS (added by JP2)
Baptism
Cana
Preaching and Teaching
Transfiguration
Last Supper

SORROWFUL
Agony in the garden
Scourging
Crowning with thorns
Carrying the Cross
Crucifixion and Death

GLORIOUS
Resurrection
Ascension
Pentecost
Assumption of B.V.M.
Coronation of B.V.M. I have found the luminous mysteries to be very rich.
