Rosary the Prayer of the Bible

The Rosary is the prayer of the Bible. All of the Mysteries that we meditate on have corresponding Bible Quotes. The Bible is not a history book. It is just as vital today as it was over 2000 years ago. As we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary through the Mysteries of the Rosary and the Bible, we realize more and more, how much they love us ♥

Rosary prayer for strength

Dear Blessed Mother, as we pray the Rosary each day: Please strengthen our hands to do the will of God in our daily lives. Please strengthen our hearts ♥ to love God and our neighbor, more each day. Please strengthen our minds to understand God's plan for our lives. Please strengthen our souls to grow in grace. We humbly pray.

The 3rd Glorious Mystery

The 3rd Glorious Mystery of the Rosary - Pentecost,The Descent of the Holy Spirit.

The Apostles were fearful behind the locked door of the Upper Room until the Holy Spirit enlightened them with the fire of His love.

Holy Spirit please replace our fears, our doubts, weakness and uncertainties with a stronger faith, trust, confidence and love.Guide us through the darkness with your light.

Light of the World

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

We have been called to walk in the Light of Christ. Jesus has summoned us to follow the path of Light, which is the path to life. The Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, the Mysteries of Light.

The Rosary Gives Us Hope

The Rosary gives us so much hope, so much grace, so much strength. It puts our whole life in harmony with the lives of Jesus and Mary.

Mary's Presence

"It is as if Our Lady were praying along with me each of the decades of the Rosary. Our faith teaches us that Mary intercedes for us as do all the saints. And Mary is Queen of the Saints. She has a place of preeminence among those holy men and women who have gone before us. In each of the mysteries, the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and now the Luminous Mysteries, her wonderful and powerful presence can be felt."
Rev. Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi

Nourish the soul during Lent

During Lent many of us will fast from certain foods or perform other acts of penance. While we are fasting on some things that the world has to offer, we can still feast on Sacred Scripture found in the Bible. All of the mysteries of the Rosary and the prayers "Our Father" and "Hail Mary" are found in the Bible. By praying the Rosary and reading the Bible we can feast and nourish the soul.
