HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY

The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events in
the history of our salvation. There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the
Rosary, and these are divided into the five Joyful Mysteries (said on Monday and
Saturday), the five Luminous Mysteries (said on Thursday), the five Sorrowful
Mysteries (said on Tuesday and Friday), and the five Glorious Mysteries (said on
Wednesday and Sunday). As an exception, the Joyful Mysteries may be said on
Sundays during Advent and Christmas, while the Sorrowful Mysteries may be said
on the Sundays of Lent.

The question is sometimes asked, why, of all the incidents in our Lord’s life,
the Rosary only considers these particular twenty. The mysteries of the Rosary
are based on the incidents in the life of Our Lord and His Mother that are
celebrated in the Liturgy. There is a parallel between the main feasts honoring
our Lord and his Mother in the liturgical year, and the twenty mysteries of the
Rosary. Consequently, one who recites the twenty mysteries of the Rosary in one
day reflects on the whole liturgical cycle that the Church commemorates during
the course of each year. That is why some of the Popes have referred to the
Rosary as a compendium of the Gospel. One cannot change the mysteries of the
Rosary without losing the indulgences that the Church grants for the recitation
of the Rosary.

Some experience Difficulties While Praying

All the prayers of the Rosary are available (in multiple languages).
