The rosary prayer is a vocal prayer favouring contemplation.
Jean-Paul II underlined its importance in his apostolic letter
"Rosarium Virginis Mariae": "The Rosary is one of
the traditional paths of Christian prayer directed to the contemplation
of Christ's face... We might call it Mary's way..."
It is the way of the example of the Virgin of Nazareth,
a woman of faith, of silence, of attentive listening.
It is also the way of a Marian devotion inspired by knowledge
of the inseparable bond between Christ and his Blessed Mother".
