The rosary in simplest terms is said to be a tool used to aid prayer and meditation. The beads of a rosary count the prayers as they are recited out loud or in the mind. The user relies on the rosary beads to keep track of how many times you’ve said a particular prayer.

The bible is the only source that provides a framework for everything happening today. One third of the bible is prophecy and the main point of this site is to proclaim it.
