What is the Rosary?

October is the Month of the Rosary, and many authors have already written insightful and inspiring articles explaining and promoting it. We know the rosary is a tremendous tool, and that it also has many positive physiological benefits besides the more obvious spiritual ones.

But this October, I thought I’d try my hand at something a little different, namely a poem about the rosary.  Here it is, in three short verses.

What is the Rosary?

A rosary’s a ladder;

It goes up and down.

Connects us to Heaven,

Through Mary, on the ground.

Through the life of our Lord,

We travel anew.

By His death, we’re forgiven;

The covenant renewed.

By the work of the Church,

We two are made one.

Now our prayers are hers,

‘till God’s kingdom comes.
