The Rosary is one of the most well known sacramentals of the Church and has been used and prayed by Catholics for centuries. Originating with St. Dominic, it is a prayer made in union with Our Blessed Mother, meditating on and re-living all the mysteries of Her Son’s life for the purpose of uniting those mysteries with our own lives. All of this purpose is summarized in the closing prayer: “Grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating on the Mysteries of the most Holy Rosary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.”
