Many people are wondering why Catholics hold those beads called the Rosary in their hands and what’s the real inspiration behind them. In this little booklet I’ll attempt to give quick answers to some of the questions and doubts often raised by people.
It is written, “Honour thy father and thy mother” (Exodus 20:12, Leviticus 19:3, Deuteronomy 5:16, Matthew 15:4, Mark 7:10, Ephesians 6:2), this commandment was fulfilled perfectly by our Lord Jesus Christ. He honoured His heavenly Father and His earthly mother. We are told to be imitators of Christ. (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:1, Ephesians 5:1) If our Lord did honour His mother Mary perfectly, then what stops us from doing so? Mary herself prophesied saying,
“For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed” (Luke 1:48 RSV)
Why? Because “he who is mighty has done great things for me” she says. (Luke 1:49 RSV) Are you part of the generation that calls her blessed? Think about this.
In the Rosary this desire of St. Paul is fully fulfilled:
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8 RSV)

Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin Mary too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did and If anyone does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for his mother, he will not have Christ for his brother. ~ St. Maximilian Kolbe

In studying the Vatican II Council, it became obvious that our Blessed Mother was an impediment towards ecumenism and religious liberty (both condemned by Pontiffs). She was banished to the closet just as the fate of Our Lord in the Tabernacle. Not only were Devotions and Feast Days of the Mother of God removed from the liturgy and absent from the novus ordo missae, but pictures and statues were removed from formerly traditional Catholic Churches. The People of God, likewise, put away their traditional statues and pictures of the Virgin Most Pure and stopped Rosary devotions. Have you followed the amazing exodus out of the conciliar church and its continual destruction?
Hi Lu thanks for stopping by. I don’t get what you mean. I think you might have gotten some things missed up. I attend Novus Ordo Missae and there are photos and statues of Our Lady intact and there are many feast days for Our Lady and concerning the Rosary why would I write on something we don’t believe in?
Yes, I have to agree with Godwin, I’ve never attended a mass that wasn’t Novus Ordo and every church I’ve been in has a statute of Mary. Always. And we ask for her intercession, and sing her songs, and pray the rosary, and do celebrate marian feasts like Our Lady of Carmel.
Godwin, Each year of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIII wrote an Encyclical on the Rosary:

6.Laetitiae Sanctae
