“For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed” (Luke 1:48). We call the Virgin Mary “blessed,” using the words of Holy Writ. We proclaim her privileges, using the words of Elizabeth, her kinswoman: “Blessed are you among women!” (Luke 1:42). The rosary is a time-proven method of meditative prayer. When we persevere in praying the rosary, we become like little children (see Matthew 18:3), children of Mary, children of our heavenly Father.
