The Rosary<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pope John Paul II encouraged praying the Rosary during adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Rosarium Virgine Mariae, <\/em>issued in October 2002, initiating the Year of the Rosary. He also added five \u201cmysteries\u201d from Our Lord\u2019s life on earth to this ancient devotion, which begins with the Apostles Creed, the Our Father (Lord\u2019s Prayer), the \u201cGlory be…\u201d (Doxology), followed by the Hail Mary (Ave Maria<\/em>) repeated ten times, one on each bead of the \u201cdecades\u201d of a set of Rosary beads. Meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary is perhaps the most widely practiced private devotion among Catholics.<\/p>\n
