VATICAN
CITY -- "The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart
a Christocentric prayer," write Pope John Paul II in "The Rosary
of the Virgin Mary," (Rosarium Virginis Mariae).
"With the Rosary, the Christian people sit at the school of Mary and
are led to contemplate the beauty of the face of Christ and to experience
the depths of his love."
...
The Holy Father defends the Rosary as a proper Christian prayer directed
toward Christ himself and, because of this focus on Christ, not an
obstacle to ecumenical relations. In addition, he proposes the
Rosary be prayed especially for the cause of peace and the defense of the
family.
