It uses the Rosary in meditation and prayer. Prayer is repeated many times according to the number of grain in the rosary. The Rosary is traditionally thought of as being used by the Roman Catholics but using the rosary is scattered everywhere and many religions use this method in prayer.
The average rosary comprises 59 grains shaped like a necklace. Every grain in the rosary has a counterpart of prayer while holding such grain fingers. Of these grains, 53 is " Whoa Mr. Mary " while six (6) grains are for " Our Father." These grains give a physical method to never forget counting the one who prays while the finger's touch every grain and persecuting prayer.
The history of the Rosary among Christians came from the time of crusades. Catholics copied what the Arabs were doing, that the Arabs copied in India. Recent archaeology evidence discovered that in ancient Ephesus people used the rosary in their worship of Diana, also known as Artemis, whose temple is known as one of the "wonders of the world" (Acts 19:24-41).
The Roman Catholics rosary is also used to help customers remember the 180 prayers that make up the Rosary. These prayers are Our Father, Whoa, Mr. Mary, and Glory. It bases the rosary on the thought that reciting prayer repeatedly will give the practice of merit and favor from God to escape the punishment of purgatory.
Using the Rosary in prayer is not biblical. Jesus himself hit religious leaders during His time because of their repeated prayers. In fact, He told His disciples, " You shall not use many words in vain, as the Gentiles do. They thought God would listen to them because of the length of what they say " (Matthew 6:7). Prayer should not only be prayed repeatedly as in a formula. Many rosary users claim the rosary helps them focus their attention away from themselves and closer to Christ. But the question is, does the effectiveness of prayer depend on repeating words like a mantra?
Prayer is a wonderful privilege for Christians, and our Creator invites us to face His presence (Hebrews 4:16) and to deliver Him our hearts. Prayer is a tool for us to praise God, to deliver Him admiration, to give thanks, to have our needs for ourselves and for others. I can not believe how repeated prayer with a rosary will yield to close contact with God.
