The most important reason for strongly encouraging the practice of the
Rosary is that it represents a most effective means of fostering among the
faithful that commitment to the contemplation of the Christian mystery
which I have proposed in the Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio
Ineunte as a genuine “training in holiness”: “What is needed is a
Christian life distinguished above all in the art of prayer”. Inasmuch as contemporary
culture, even amid so many indications to the contrary, has witnessed the
flowering of a new call for spirituality, due also to the influence of other
religions, it is more urgent than ever that our Christian communities should
become “genuine schools of prayer”.
The Rosary belongs among the finest and most praiseworthy
traditions of Christian contemplation. Developed in the West, it is a typically
meditative prayer, corresponding in some way to the “prayer of the heart” or
“Jesus prayer” which took root in the soil of the Christian East.
