<p class="normal_text">The Rosary is a fruitful way of giving rhythm to the believer&rsquo;s life through the contemplation of the mysteries of Christ and through the adoption of a prayerful and Christiform existence. Regardless of its Marian physiognomy, the Rosary is essentially Christological: it is the face of Christ and the mysteries of his life that take a preponderant place there. We contemplate them, through the recitation of the Rosary, following the style of Mary &ndash; of her contemplation, her prayer, her <em>magnificat</em> &ndash;, who kept all in her heart (Lk 2,19).<br />
In this &laquo;contemplative itinerary&raquo; to which we are introduced by the meditation of the mysteries of the incarnated Verb and by the experience of the deepness of his love, it is the whole life and the life of all that is placed before God, through the hands of Mary, in the rhythm of the evangelic Good News that is the very life of Christ, &laquo;he is revealed in the lives of his disciples as the Lord of time and of history&raquo; (<em>Rosarium Virginis Mariae</em>, 38).<br />
&nbsp;<br />
With this short pedagogical subsidy for the prayer of the Rosary, it is expected that this so meaningful prayer in the life of the Church &ndash; yesterday and today &ndash; may easily be assumed by whoever desires it, giving rhythm to one&rsquo;s personal and communitarian life through this prayerful and contemplative pathway that is centered in the Son of God.</p>
