S2E25 - Why do Catholics Pray the Rosary

The Catholic Why explores the meaning and purpose of the Rosary—what it is, where it comes from, and why we pray it. This episode explains how the Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer that combines repetition with meditation on key moments in the life of Christ, known as the Mysteries. It also clarifies the role of Mary, the biblical roots of the prayers, and how the Rosary developed over centuries as a “Bible in beads.” Whether you’re Catholic, curious, or skeptical, this episode offers a clear and thoughtful look at how the Rosary helps us grow closer to Jesus through reflection, rhythm, and prayer.
