Pope Francis quote: Rosary prayer

A quote from Pope Francis:

“The prayer of the rosary is, in many ways, the synthesis of the history of God's mercy, which becomes a history of salvation for all those who allow themselves to be shaped by grace. The mysteries we have contemplated are concrete events through which the intervention of God our name develops. Through prayer and meditation on the life of Jesus Christ, we see once again his merciful face, which shows everyone in all the many needs of life. Mary accompanies us on this journey, indicating her Son who radiates the same mercy as the Father. It is truly Hodegetria, the Mother who indicates the path we are called to take to be true disciples of Jesus. In every mystery of the rosary, we feel her closeness and contemplate her as the first disciple of her Son, because she does the will of the Father " .
