Understanding The Rosary
Hello Everyone,
So you ask; what part of the rosary is in the bible? That's simple, read on and you see that the Rosary is all about Jesus' life. I'll start with all the mysteries and show you how they all link to scripture. Throughout the years the Rosary has been on of the most powerful defenses against evil. We all know that no matter what is going on in this world; or how much the world tries to attack: The Roman Catholics (our people), The Pope (successor of St. Peter), our Beliefs, our Tradition, our Bible (God's Word), and our Judeo-Christian American heritage. Regardless of who attacks these pillars of our faith, or even deny's them, they are of no affect on them. In the end, we know how it will end, and the Church wins. Stay loyal and strong in your belief, don't let anyone intimidate you; it's their fear of thee truth that make them act like they do.
