Your Key to Heaven

The Holy Rosary

The Rosary is a devotion to the Incarnation of Our Lord and to His Blessed Mother. It is composed of fifteen decades , each decade consisting of the Our Father, ten Hail Marys and the Glory Be to the Father and each being recited in honor of some mystery in the life of Our Lord and of His Blessed Mother. During each decade, we should call to mind the mystery which it is intended to honor and pray that we may learn to practice the virtue specially taught us by that mystery.
