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.
