The Rosary is Christ-centered Each mystery reflects on the life of Jesus, from His birth to His resurrection. Scripture: “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2) The “Hail Mary” comes from the Bible The first part of the prayer is taken from the greetings of the Angel Gabriel and Elizabeth to Mary. Scripture: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.” (Luke 1:28) “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” (Luke 1:42) Repetition in prayer is biblical Repeated prayers like the Rosary help in meditation and deeper reflection. Scripture: “And when he prayed, he said the same words.” (Mark 14:39) Meditating on the mysteries follows Mary’s example Mary pondered the events of Christ’s life in her heart, just as we do in the Rosary. Scripture: “But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19) The Rosary leads to peace and victory through prayer Prayer brings God’s protection and peace against trials and spiritual battles. Scripture: “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) #catholicpriests #catholictiktok @CATHOLIC PHOTOGRAPHY @CATHOLIC OR NOTHING @CSM
