Anyone can pray the Rosary. Each 10 Hail Mary beads creates a decade. Each decade has a certain mystery which is stated prior to saying the Our Father. For example, the Sorrowful Mysteries are 1. The Agony in the Garden. You are to meditate on what was happening to Jesus prior to His arrest. 2. The Scourging at the Pillar. Meditate on the Horror of this torture Jesus endured for you. 3. The Crowning with Thorns. Meditate on this event. 4. The Carrying of the Cross. Meditate while you are saying the Hail Marys. 5. The Crucifixion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Meditate on what this means to you.
There are 3 others. The Joyful Mysteries; The Luminous Mysteries and The Glorious Mysteries.
Anyone who wants to meditate on these events in the life of Jesus can use the Rosary to help him stay focused.
