The Rosary is a Catholic prayer that walks through the life of Jesus with Mary. On a string of beads, you meditate on a “mystery” from the Gospel while praying an Our Father, ten Hail Marys and a Glory Be. Five mysteries make one Rosary; there are twenty in all.
It is a Catholic devotion. If you belong to another tradition, Prayority also has the Lord’s Prayer, the Psalms and the Jesus Prayer; the Rosary comes first for those who choose the Catholic tradition.
Since 2002 this is the most common custom, and Prayority follows it:
Pray with Gregorian chant such as the Salve Regina or the Magnificat, with Bach, or with no music at all. No ads, no artificial voices: you pray, and the text keeps you company.
