QUOTES ON THE HOLY ROSARY – BY POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II (1920–2005)
Pope St. John Paul II had a profound devotion to the Rosary. His 2002 apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae (The Rosary of the Virgin Mary) is one of the most beautiful and comprehensive teachings on the Rosary. He also introduced the Luminous Mysteries, enriching the Rosary with reflections on the public ministry of Jesus. Below are some of his inspirational quotes on the Rosary:
On the Rosary as a School of Contemplation
“The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christo-centric prayer. It has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety.”
(Pope St. John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, §1)
