The Rosary Draws Us Close to Jesus Christ Our Healer

We can expect to be changed by prayer because “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). That means that his power to save, to heal hearts and minds, is the same yesterday, today and forever. We come into contact with him when we think about his mysteries in faith. In this, we are like Mary, who “pondered these things in her heart” (Luke 2:19).

The Rosary is a superior way of thinking about Christ’s mysteries. It adds to our meditation the full force, power, wisdom and love of the Mother of God. In praying it, we make true what Mary said of herself: “My soul magnifies the Lord” (Luke 1:46). If you want to study Jesus Christ, look to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
