To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to
contemplate with Mary the face of Christ.
Christ is the supreme Teacher, the revealer and the one revealed. It is
not just a question of learning what He taught but of “learning Him”. In
this regard could we have any better teacher than Mary? From the divine
standpoint, the Spirit is the interior teacher who leads us to the full
truth of Christ. But among creatures no one knows Christ better than
Mary; no one can introduce us to a profound knowledge of His mystery
better than His Mother.
Pope John
Paul II,
