St. Peter Parish Rosary Program The Rosary is a devotion of meditative prayers developed over the centuries. Its name is from Latin and means a garland of roses. To fulfill the dictum to “pray unceasingly” monks began to regularly pray the 150 Psalms, but the less educated faithful known as converse, unable to read the Psalms, memorized the “Our Father” (Paternoster) prayer to recite it 50 to 100 times. At first they used pebbles to count, and then tied knots on lengths of rope. Then a craftsman’s guild in England emerged. The English word for prayers, “Bedes” became “beads” and the craftsmen made “rosaries” of strung beads called “Paternosters”. A Street named Paternoster Row remains in London where the “rosary” craftsmen worked. In the 12th century “rosaries” were used to pray the 1st half of what we now know as the Hail Mary. ~Catholic Answers Pray the rosary daily; it is an act of love for Jesus crucified. Rosary Program Update St. Peter Parish Rosary Program tally through May 17, 2019: 31,467.
