Through the centuries, there has always been a special devotion to the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, the popular devotion to the Rosary has been the way by which many people have maintained alive their Faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of Mary. While we pray the Rosary, let us meditate on the mysteries of Jesus Christ. We begin to realize that we are called to follow His example through the events of His life, and we share the joyful, luminous, sorrowful, and glorious moments of His life as we live our life with Him.
