Rosary Information Index

The Rosary Index explores various facets of the rosary, namely its history, theology and spirituality. This seems to be a worthwhile endeavor since "the Rosary, reclaimed in its full meaning, goes to the very heart of Christian life; it offers a familiar yet fruitful spiritual and educational opportunity for personal contemplation, the formation of the People of God, and the new Evangelization." (RVM 3)
