Why should it be prayed today?


Like the Blessed Virgin herself, the Rosary is a means of bringing us closer to Jesus. Through the prayer of the Rosary, Our Lady guides us to her Son as we meditate upon key events in His life. The Life of Christ Rosary is in no way superior to the Dominican, merely different. It is offered here as an alternative to those who may find this approach better suited to them. Those who feel drawn to this method should be reassured by the encyclical Marialis Cultus, in which Pope Paul VI wrote,

“In concluding these observations, which give proof of the concern and esteem which the Apostolic See has for the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin, we desire at the same time to recommend that this very worthy devotion should not be propagated in a way that is too one-sided or exclusive. The Rosary is an excellent prayer, but the faithful should feel serenely free in its regard. They should be drawn to its calm recitation by its intrinsic appeal.” (Marialis Cultus, no. 55)
