The rosary shows how a devotion can respond to our deep human and spiritual needs. A characteristic of our age is the desire for spirituality and a contemplative type of prayer. The rosary is a method of contemplation (#28), a means to an end. In view of the helplessness which most experience in the face of violence in society, it is a prayer asking for the "gift of peace" within our communities, countries, and our world.
