Why should I pray the Rosary?
The rosary is one of the most powerful weapons against evil and Satan. This is pronounced throughout history and particularly by the seers at Fatima and Medjugorje. Sister Lucia, one of the seers of Fatima said:
"My impression is that the Rosary is of the greatest value not only according to the words of Our Lady of Fatima, but according to the effects of the Rosary one sees throughout history. My impression is that Our Lady wanted to give ordinary people, who might not know how to pray, this simple method of getting closer to God."
When we pray the rosary and meditate on the Mysteries of the Rosary, we experience the life of Jesus by recalling the events of Jesus' life as told in the Bible. From the "Agony in the Garden" through to the "Coronation of the Blessed Mother in Heaven", we meditate and strive to feel and understand these events.
Such as when Jesus kneels in the Garden of Gethsemane and fervently prays to God the Father sweating blood from His pores knowing the agony of what He is about to endure. He asks, "My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." Here we feel the pain of what is about to happen to Jesus and we connect with Him to thank Him for loving us so much that He chose this path of suffering so that we may have a chance at eternal life.
