Pope John Paul II
(1978-2005)

“The Rosary is my favorite prayer.”¹

“Pray, pray much. Say the Rosary everyday”²

“I would therefore ask those who devote themselves to the pastoral care of families to recommend heartily the recitation of the Rosary.”³

“Recite the Rosary every day. I earnestly urge Pastors to pray the Rosary and to teach people in their Christian communities how to pray it.”⁴

“How beautiful is the family that recites the Rosary every evening.”⁵
