Is the Rosary Biblical? - Ask a Marian

Catholics are often told that they shouldn't pray the Rosary because it is "not in the Bible." Is the Rosary Biblical? Fr. Chris Alar explains how to respond, with the help of a little music from days gone by...

Praying the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is part of my life, my day is never complete if I’ve missed this and I will forever pray this with faith and trust in God. Thanks father Chris and all MIC fathers and Bros. Prayers offered for all of you @ the Shrine. God bless.

Thank you, Fr. Alar. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us and the whole world. Amen🙏

For me, the "Hail Marys" are not just background music - they bring peace to my soul.

Ephesians 6

14¶Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

That's the full armor of God to a Christian. Don't be fooled by the devil to make you think a man made thing like rosaries and holy waters can protect you from his attacks. Take on the biblical armor of God. Don't believe what satan tells you but believes God. The devil knows how to play his game and most people fall culprits.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I was a sinner, until many signs where given to me by God. until a rosary suddenly hooks up in my car keys one day i was getting it on top of a shelf (been doin that for 2 years). I know that Jesus is calling me that day. I starting reading the Bible cover to cover. Now i have this deep relationship to LORD.
By the way, i still have the rosary hooked in my car keys ✝️

Fr. Chris, thank you for explaining to us the Holy Rosary, it was full of clarity, easy to understand and encourages love and devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary. She loves you very much for doing this with so much enthusiasm and holiness. May God be praised always in your beautiful mission.

I just did my first RCIA course yesterday. I'm not Catholic. Yet I began praying the Rosary, of March 2020, just before the lockdown. The day I began the Rosary, I get a internet picture of her smiling at, much like a host in a restaurant, saying welcome.

The original Rosary consisted of praying the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries every day. I know it may seem tough, but it is definitely possible by the Grace of God! I pray that everyone tries to pray all 3 Mysteries a day (possibly 4 with the Luminous Mysteries if you can!) God bless everyone.

[JohnR.T.B.]

We also believe that as God is one in heaven and on earth, so is His Church one in heaven and on earth, the one Bride of Christ; if a sinner like me is a member of Christ's body through baptism, how much more are the Saints in heaven who are perfectly united with God and His Church in heaven. Praying the Rosary brings us closer to the reality of heaven, constant prayers to God in unity with the Saints. It is in the Bible, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

That's a powerful message to all who deny the importance of praying the Rosery. I pray every day and I see the changes in my family's life to the best. Blessed Mary for ever Virgin 🙏.

Thank you Fr Chris. I pray the Rosary and the Chaplet daily. My day is not complete if I don't pray them. Wow! Fr Chris loved the movie excerpts of Jaws and Saturday Night Fever 🤣 Praying for you Dad Mom and Pam. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. Thank you for your teachings. God bless you, your family, MIC and all the Marian Helpers. ❤️🙏

I Pray the "Rosary" EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!!!! Question Father. The days in which we live, as you're WELL AWARE, are very sad and somewhat confusing. Many non-Catholics have been speaking about "The Rapture" for the last couple of years quite INTENTLY!!!! My question to you is, why isn't the Church talking about "The Rapture"?! I know we believe in it!!!! And what are your thoughts on it?!

[christinaherrera]

The Virgin Mary appeared to me 3 years ago in the sky in 2019. I felt happy, peaceful, calm. Every worry, hurt, pain, etc disappeared for a a couple of minutes. It was just her and I. I took a picture. Her message to me to tell others, "She loves us and is always there for us." She wants me to share with as many people as possible. God Bless!

[vanodiate]

I pray every day I feel so blessed, protected and happy amen 🙏
