Learn to pray with Mary

The School of the Rosary accompanies you from the first Avemaría to a more contemplative prayer. Progress without haste: the goal is not to finish lessons, but to know and love Jesus Christ more.

You don't need to know everything. Choose the path that best responds to your current situation.

When praying costs

I always distract

Go back serenity to the mystery. Finding out you've been distracted is already an opportunity to return to God.

In the tengo vector minutes

Pray a ten with attention. A small and faithful beginning can help you grow.

The repetition seems mechanical to me.

The Avemarias create a rhythm to contemplate Christ. The center is not to count words, but to remain in mystery.

Estoy tired the no siento nothing

Prayer does not always depend on feeling. You can offer God even your tiredness and your poverty.

I've stopped praying.

You don't have to make up for lost days. Start today with one Avemaría.

When prayer is a fight

Rosary in family and community

With children, older people or people who are learning, a short and true prayer is better than a long experience lived as an obligation.

Form a groupWritings and proposals to pray at home, parish or community. Pastoral resourcesMaterial for families, catechesis and groups. Choose an intentionUnite the Rosary to a concrete need of the world or your family.

Rosario essential library

History and how to prayOrigin, development, structure and sources. The fifteen promisesDominican tradition presented with its context and prudence. Litany of LoretoMarian invocation and explanation of their titles.

The Rosary is not a magic formula. It does not guarantee that we receive exactly what we ask or replace the Eucharist, confession, reading the Word or works of charity. It is a school of contemplation in which Mary helps us to look, love and follow Jesus Christ.

"Reciting the Rosary, in fact, is actually contemplating with Mary the face of Christ."

San Juan Pablo II, Rosarium Virus Mariae, 3.
