Recite the rosary is a phrase used in the Catholic faith to describe the act of repeating prayers in a set order, using a string of beads as a guide. While this phrase is well-known to Catholics around the world, there are a few other ways to describe the same activity. Some people may say they are "saying the rosary," "praying the beads," or "praying the Hail Mary." Others may refer to the activity as "meditating on the mysteries," "seeking the intercession of Mary," or "honoring the life of Jesus." No matter which phrase is used, the act of reciting the rosary is a powerful and meaningful way for Catholics to connect with their faith.
