The Holy Rosary: A Beautiful Prayer for Catholic Couples

One of the most beautiful prayers in our Catholic tradition is the Holy Rosary. In fact, the entire month of October is dedicated in the liturgical calendar to the Rosary. Couples can pray this beautiful prayer together lifting up the intentions of their marriage and their family. Our Blessed Mother loved her husband Joseph. She loved her Son from the moment of His conception in her womb and all throughout His life to His resurrection and beyond and she is now seated with Him in heaven. We believe that she loves us as her children as well and is always praying for us. Certainly, she loves it when couples and families are joined together in prayer and what better way than the Rosary! 

This meditative prayer, through her intercession, which concentrates on the Mysteries of Christ's birth, life, passion, death and resurrection, serves as a source of grace for all who pray it and for those for whom they are praying. 

There are many resources to assist in how to pray the Rosary. Simple guides can be found online but for those who want to go deeper, we recommend the Ascension Press Podcast, "Rosary in a Year" led by Father Mark-Mary Ames, CFR. Couples can listen together and fall in love with this devotion while growing in their relationship with Jesus and Mary.
