The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer to help us remember the mysteries of our salvation, and to thank and praise God for them.

There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into:

• The five JOYFUL MYSTERIES
• The five LUMINOUS MYSTERIES
• The five SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
• The five GLORIOUS MYSTERIES

The repetition in saying the Rosary leads one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. Also the gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ’s spirit dwells. The Rosary can be said privately or with a group.
