 SCRIPTURAL ROSARY PRAYERS
INCARNATION - PASSION - RESURRECTION
In 1460, Blessed Alanus de Rupe preached the ‘Dominican’ Rosary which was divided up into 3 groups of 50 beads.  Each of these 3 groups, representing the mysteries of the life of Christ - the Incarnation, Passion and the Resurrection.  They come directly from Scripture.
It was called the Marian Psalter.

... those who dedicate themselves to prayer ...
Thank you and bless all of you for the work you do.  Though I was raised Catholic I'd never even heard of a chaplet until I found your web site.  Now I keep one in my hand when I can and definitely while viewing the news. During 9/11 and anniversary I felt the prayers of others and experienced the peace It brought.  I realized I owed a debt to those who dedicate themselves to prayer and try every day now to pay it forward.  Thanks again for the wonderful site and have a blessed season.

... spiritually and visually inspiring ...

visually inspiring as well. Marek M. (MN)
