The Holy Rosary (/ˈroʊzəri/; Latin: rosarium, in the sense of "crown of roses" or "garland of roses"), also known as the Dominican Rosary, or simply the Rosary, refers to a set of prayers used in the Catholic Church and to the string of knots or beads used to count the component prayers. When referring to the prayer, the word is usually capitalized ("the Rosary", as is customary for other names of prayers, such as "the Lord's Prayer", and "the Hail Mary"); when referring to the beads, it is written with a lower-case initial letter ("a rosary bead").

The prayers that compose the Rosary are arranged in sets of ten Hail Marys, called decades. Each decade is preceded by one Lord's Prayer ("Our Father") and traditionally followed by one Glory Be.

Some Catholics also choose to recite the "O my Jesus" prayer after the Glory Be, which is the most well-known of the seven Fátima prayers.

During recitation of each set, thought is given to one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which recall events in the lives of Jesus Christ and of Mary. Five decades are recited per rosary. Rosary beads are an aid towards saying these prayers in the proper sequence.

Lourdes (/lʊərd/, also US: /lʊərdz/, French: [luʁd]; Occitan: Lorda [ˈluɾðɔ]) is a market town situated in the Pyrenees. It is part of the Hautes-Pyrénées department in the Occitanie region in southwestern France.Prior to the mid-19th century, the town was best known for the Château fort de Lourdes, a fortified castle that rises up from a rocky escarpment at its center.

In 1858 Lourdes rose to prominence in France and abroad due to the Marian apparitions claimed to have been seen by the peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous, who was later canonized. Shortly thereafter the city with the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes became one of the world's most important sites of pilgrimage and religious tourism.

EWTN Global Catholic Network, in its 40th year, is the largest religious media network in the world and was founded by Mother Mary Angelica, PCPA. The Daily Televised Mass is broadcast live 7 days a week at 7:00 a.m CST. The Mass is uploaded to YouTube every day along with many other programs.
