Pope Francis noted three aspects of the Rosary that should inspire us to pray regularly.
The Holy Father said that the Rosary is a “compendium of the entire history of our salvation.” The Christian faith was spread to many parts of the world through the Rosary. It is completely a Biblical prayer and we can access it directly from the Bible.
Then, the Pope noted, the “Holy Rosary is a powerful weapon against evil.”
The Rosary’s power against Satan is something that many saints have noted, including Padre Pio and St. John Bosco.
Finally, the Pope said, it is “an effective means of obtaining true peace in our hearts.”
The Rosary is one example of prayer that successfully incorporates both body and soul, involving many of the senses.
