The Rosary has come to us from the Holy Spirit through our Blessed Mother and Saint Dominic. It's original form (3 Mysteries) was fixed by Saint Pius V in 1667. The central person in the Rosary is not Mary, but Jesus. The "Hail Mary" is a prayer taken directly from Saint Luke's Gospel (Ch. 1 28-42) which reminds us that Jesus, our Savior, became man in the womb of Mary. Mary teaches us, in the Rosary, to pray by thinking about the important happenings in the life of her son. The biblical passage that best summarizes the Rosary is found in Philippians Chapter 2 6-11.
A good prayer recording to share with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
