St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church

from fr Jason's column this week:  ..........

The rosary is a simple prayer;: it is easy to memorize because of its repetitive nature, and it can be prayed anywhere at anytime.  At the same time, it is profound:  it calls us to meditation on the most important moments in the lie of Christ and Mary.  it is a prayer that can easily be payed in common: the OUr Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be that make up the rosary can be divided neatly so that one person can recite the first half and a group can recite the second half.  The rosary is a convenient prayer: it is  not too long or too short, it does not equire preparation or extra materials (though using rosary beads is helpful)
I've seen even 3 year olds pray the rosary when gathered with their parents! The rosary unites us with so  many of our beloved saints who have also prayed this same prayer.  And for those who are interested i ngoing deeper, one can find a weath of material written by various saints on the rosary: St John Paull II's letter Rosarium Virginis Marie comes to mind...........   Who is blessed Bartolo Longo ?
