Conclusion
The portion of the fourth lesson that struck me is the following: “To pray the Rosary for children and even more, with children, training them from their earliest years.” As a child I was taught the Rosary and it was always recited in Church before Mass began and led by a nun named Sister Elizabeth. I will always remember the way we met and prayed as a group prior to the “children’s Mass.” Today, children are not familiar with the Rosary. When I presented the Rosary to my first grade Religion class one out of 17 actually knew what it was. I agree with the readings regarding introducing the Rosary to children. We do focus on the Stations of the Cross during Easter week, therefore, why not present the Rosary to the children connecting it to Mary’s life and use music and reflections that young adults can relate to. We should not be afraid to spread to children an understanding of the true value of the Rosary.

Lesson 4 THe Glorious Mysteries
I am at the completion of this study course. This course regarding the Rosary has turned my life around. When I began this course I was resistant to reciting the Rosary. I admitted that I found it boring. Upon completion of this course I now pray the Rosary every day meditating on the mysteries and completely focusing on Mary and Jesus’ lives. I now look forward to the time when I can pick up the Rosary beads and begin to pray. I am so grateful to the Good News Ministries for putting together such interesting subject matter regarding the Rosary.
Regarding the Glorious Mysteries, one cannot meditate on these mysteries without coming away with a overall wonderful feeling. As I contemplate these mysteries, I am left with a peace that comes from contemplating what is waiting for me when I leave this world.
Thank you Good News Ministries.

I like the part that said we cannot stop at the image of the Crucified One, Christ is risen! I want more peace in my life and Pope JP II said that the Rosary is a path to peace. I will remember this when I pray the Rosary. By praying and meditating on the Glorious Mysteries, I can look forward to eternal life, and experience it beginning now, in the present.

In the glorious mysteries on the Rosary, I find that the first mystery - the resurrection is the most helpful and it recalls me a lot of my own personal experience, we all know that Christ Jesus has died and then resurrected, pretty similar with Jesus I also used to die because of love, then I wake up again from unpredictable death of accident after a long time coerced. After that, I have learned a lot from this death which is called as an accident. I get closer to the Lord, trust into Him and look for Him more frequently. I begin to pray again and find out that praying the Rosary is very interesting, honestly i love praying the Rosary and I often pray it with all my heart. The Rosary is the only best instrument which i can find peaceful and less stressful from all troubles.
I think that we need to spread this Holy Rosary to our next generations and in order to fulfill this action, we need to become a practical model and pray regularly in asking for succor from our Lady. This is also one of the reasons why I choose to learn this course because I wish to learn the way to become more holiness and powerful in praying the Rosary.
Thank you for sharing with me these words!

1.In this final lesson of Rosarium Virginis Mariae, the Conclusion and the Chain thatlinks us to God, what touched me most is “the Rosary as a prayer of Peace, is and always been a prayer of and for the family”. We cannot pray for peace in the world if in our homes, Small Christian Communities, and in our Churches we have no peace. As Catholics, we should start teaching our children and the youth the true value of the Rosary from their earliest years.
2. The Glorious Mysteries of Christ have taught me to have faith in our Lord and Savior, to ask for detachment from earthly honors, riches, pleasures and seek only those of heaven. The third mystery has taught me to pray asking the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially wisdom, courage and zealand as I do this Ipray for a holy life that I may die as a friend of God. It is also very good to be devoted to Mary and ask the gift of perseverance as she did. If I/we do this, the Glorious mysteries will lead me/us to a greater hopefor the eschatological goal which is heaven.
At my completion of this e-course, actually I have learned more about the Rosary and my life has changed in the way I have been praying it. I now can be the the light of others in spreading(evangelizing) the need to pray the Rosary.
May God bless my instructor Terry Modica, her ministry and her family.
