I thought the Church resently added a fourth Mystery for the Rosary.

Great post! The original rosary is 15 decades, the way Mary wanted it.

Great article!
Me too, learn something new every day.

Now, because the word Rosary is in the title, the Anti-Catholic-trolls will be here any second.

Cover me, I have to put my girls to bed and say my prayers for my Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary on Wednesday. I can't come back so hold down the fort ;-)!

Here's a link to a discussion of the Orthodox use of repetitive prayer: http://www.unicorne.org/orthodoxy/articles/alex_roman/prayerrope.htm

Pray the Rosary. 

Pray without ceasing.

Actually the rosary traces its history to several earlier religions. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam.. to name a few. As early as 5500–2600 BCE (BC) prayer beads were used to help keep track of prayers or mantras. European christian crusaders brought the tradition back to their own countries, which spread from there to the modern rosary.
