In his Apostolic Letter on the Rosary (Rosarium Virginis Mariae) John Paul II expresses the desire "that during the course of this year the Rosary should be especially emphasized and promoted in the various Christian Communities. I therefore proclaim the year from October 2002 to October 2003, "The Year of the Rosary." (RVM,3). Resonating with the Pope's wish, The Mary Page introduces a new feature called Rosary Markings. The purpose of this feature is to broaden our understanding and to deepen our love for the rosary, mindful that "to recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ" (RVM,3). Rosary Markings will explore 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." (idem). Rosary Markings will be offered frequently.
