Divine Mercy
Through Sister Maria Faustina, our Lord asked that, each day, we recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3 P.M., the hour of His death for our salvation. He also asked that we celebrate the Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday, preceding the celebration with a novena to Divine Mercy, beginning on Good Friday. Those who devoutly participate in these devotions can only be filled with hope in God's merciful love and strengthened against the temptations to discouragement and despair.
-Cardinal Raymond L. Burke
Welcome to Cyber-Rosary.com!
The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer.
It begins with the Apostles' Creed, which summarizes the great mysteries of the Catholic faith. The Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is from the Gospels. The first part of the Hail Mary is the angel's words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary. St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The Mysteries of the Rosary center on the events of Christ's life. There are four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and added by Pope John Paul II in 2002, the Luminous.
The prayers of the Rosary
The repetition in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ's spirit dwells. The Rosary can be said privately or with a group.
