But why pray the Rosary? Here are 5 of them. One for every decade. However, in between each decade, we are invited to reflect on the Mysteries of the Gospel : Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous. In these mysteries, we rediscover, examine, and ponder the stories from the Gospel, and discover the real meaning of those events in the silence of our hearts. But to do so, we must make time for Him. The rosary is the perfect way to make time to connect with God, and for spiritual healing.
Take 15 minutes a day to be one with Him. There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five Joyful Mysteries said on Monday and Saturday , the five Luminous Mysteries said on Thursday , the five Sorrowful Mysteries said on Tuesday and Friday , and the five Glorious Mysteries said on Wednesday and Sunday.

There is a parallel between the main feasts honoring our Lord and his Mother in the liturgical year, and the twenty mysteries of the Rosary. Consequently, one who recites the twenty mysteries of the Rosary in one day reflects on the whole liturgical cycle that the Church commemorates during the course of each year.

Therefore, you have to get it into a routine. So, find that time that works for you and commit.
