What is the Holy Rosary?

The Rosary, my son, is a prayer that is very pleasing to our holy Mother Mary, said St Josemaria Escriva to a young man who asked him about the meaning of the Rosary.
It has been part of Catholic life for many centuries. At the same time, its a meditation on all the mysteries or many of them in the lives of our Lord and his Mother.
So I recommend it with all my heart.
Its a prayer that all families can say. But dont oblige small children to say the Rosary. Mom can take them apart and say three Hail Marys with them, and thats all. Dont oblige older children to say the Rosary either. If they want to say it with everyone, fine, but if not, let them be, and theyll come.
OK? It has to be voluntary.
When I was in Portugal I went to see a friend of mine whom I love very much. Its her fault that Opus Dei has been working in Portugal for so many years! She is the only seer still alive... Dont come to me with visions, OK? Ordinary life! Ordinary life, but lived as contemplatives, is what I want for you.
It was Sor Lucia. It was great hearing her talk about the Rosary. She didnt say anything new. She tried to fill up our car with cards and leaflets about how to say the Rosary. And I just laughed, because I love her a lot, Ive known her for years.
I told you that to remind you that in many places, our Lady is shining spotlights of love, wherever the Rosary is prayed. Say the Rosary in your homes, which are also spotlights of love, human love that is noble and holy, that I bless, like the love of my parents! Husbands and wives, love each other! And spotlights of divine love, devotion to our Lady, who leads us to her Son.

You are seperated from the One True Church, the Body of Christ. No matter how many times you provide mis-interpretated scriptures to justify your hatred for the Church, that is not going to change the truth. Enter the Church, enter life. I shall pray for you.

[Esteban Zacarias]

Vain Repeticion is Vain Repeticion, The Rosary is beautiful, and contains prayers pulled from the bible, and are in line with the Christian Faith, it has repeticion but is not Vain repeticion. Only to those who undermine the spiritual, biblical and trinitarian message see it as vain. But the reality is that it is as the saints have called it a weapon and an instrument of love for our Lord and his holy mother, the greatest angel, the Virgin Mary.

There is absolutely nothing in the Bible teaching such foolishness. God never instructs us to recite anything; on the contrary, God condemns such practices... "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do..." -Matthew 6:7

You can pray a million rosaries and trust Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) with all your heart, but you WILL go straight to hell when you die and face the judgments of God.
