How to Pray the Rosary

Here you will find a collection of resources on the rosary to guide you in praying it.

 “You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.”  (Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche)

The rosary is a particularly powerful prayer, a dear friend to many saints over the centuries who have seen firsthand the power of it.

If you’ve never prayed the rosary before, it may seem complicated. You may wonder why Catholics make such a big fuss about it! On the other hand, you may have a great devotion to the rosary already – like the saints, you have witnessed the tremendous power that comes when we pray to Jesus through His Mother in this way.

Here you will find a collection of resources on the rosary to guide you in praying it. For those new to it, find instructions on how to pray it. And for both those who are discovering the rosary for the first time, as well as those who are well acquainted with it, explore below different meditations on the rosary, as well as fascinating information on it. You’ll also find an answer to that often-asked question, “Isn’t the rosary a type of repetitive prayer that Jesus tells us not to use?”

We hope you find the resources below, both books and blogs, helpful. And if you’d like to support us in our mission to spread the Catholic faith, you can do so here.

How the Rosary Leads us to Christ

How the Rosary Leads us to Christ

The Rosary is known as a Marian prayer, but at its heart it is a meditation on the Incarnation and the work of Our Lord. In the Rosary, we contemplate Christ's life, death and Resurrection so completely that Pope Paul VI described it as a "compendium of the entire Gospel". Discover how the Rosary can lead us closer to Jesus in this blog.
