The term "rosary" originates from Latin, meaning a garland of roses, as the rose is emblematic of the Virgin Mary. This devotion, prevalent in the Catholic Church, involves prayer cycles involving specific prayers intricately counted using beads or knots. Throughout history, saints and popes have underscored the meditative and contemplative aspects of the Rosary, emphasizing the importance of focus, respect, reverence, and purity of intention during its recitation.

The Rosary stands as a formidable tool against malevolence. Reflecting on its potency:

• "Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been so favored by so many miracles as the devotion of the Most Holy Rosary." - Blessed Pius IX
• "The Rosary is the most beautiful and rich in graces of all prayers; it touches most the Heart of the Mother of God. If you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary." - Saint Pius X
• "Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well. Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying; it is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God; it obtains necessary graces!" - St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
• "One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism: 'Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end.' The secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the Holy Trinity; it is a meditation centered on Christ." - Father Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of Rome

The traditional Rosary comprises three parts: Glorious, Joyful, and Sorrowful Mysteries. In his apostolic letter "The Rosary of the Virgin Mary," Pope John Paul II introduced a new set of mysteries known as the Luminous Mysteries, focusing on the public life of Jesus. Those wishing to recite all 20 decades in a day may follow this order: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious.

For those praying five decades daily, Pope John Paul II recommended:

• Monday: Joyful
• Tuesday: Sorrowful
• Wednesday: Glorious
• Thursday: Luminous
• Friday: Sorrowful
