         The Rosary is one of those things I could not find in the Bible. It was hard for me to accept at first but now I am devoted to it. I think it is one of the most powerfull prayers we can pray. As you will see at the rosary site it started by monks repeating the 150 psalms. The common people could not read or remember all the psalms so eventually they replaced the psalms with the "Our Father" then again latter the " Hail Mary " was added. This is interesting stuff. It shows that it's not a conspiracy from the Holy Catholic Church.

          But before you go let me show you from scripture that it's alright to repeat prayers because Jesus did and the angels in Heaven does to. First Jesus repeats a pray that sounds almost like the "Our Father" He gave us to pray.

Matthew 26:41-44

King James Version (KJV)

 ⁴¹Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

 ⁴²He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

 ⁴³And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

 ⁴⁴And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

         Jesus prayed three times saying the same words. That's why we should not listen to people but read and study things for ourselves. God our creator will lead us. All these people critisizing others for nothing. That's why Jesus said do not judge because most of the time you will be wrong. Now lets look and see if it's O.K. to repeat prayers in heaven.

Revelation 4:6-11

King James Version (KJV)

 ⁶And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
 ⁷And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

 ⁸And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

 ⁹And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
 ¹⁰The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

 ¹¹Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

        Noticed how they do not rest day and night repeating the same prayers. The " Our Father" and the " Hail Mary" both gives glory to God our creator. The Hail Mary reminds us that God loved us so much that He became a man through the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Our Father reminds us that we are totally dependant on God our Creator. To learn more click on the link for the " Our Father" and " Hail Mary " on my home page.

         Now click the link above and learn for yourself where the rosary come from. I think you will agree with me that Our God gave us this prayer so we could say it any time, any where, whether you rich or poor, educated or not . It is our Love song to our Creator. God Bless you.
