Question:
Hi Sorry, I’m prempting this guide for a little word about – What the Rosary is exactly. The Rosary is a tool for prayer. Most people don’t realize that the rosary is used as a tool only and many people say the Rosary without using one. With 59 Beads, Medal and Crucifix its obvious how many prayers will be said.

They are meant as a sign of reflection, a spiritual awakening and a chance to pray. Chilandra Next Part: The Original Part 2 Subject

How did Jesus view such dedication to Mary? Notice Lu 11:27,28, …Blest is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you! 28 …
