The Rosary of the Youth


For the youth, the prayer of the Rosary is also an essential part of the devotion to Mary in this month of May. Meters away from the tomb of Saint Peter, at the San Lorenzo International Youth Centre, young people from different nationalities explain the meaning of this devotion in their lives.

"To come closer to her especially in this month of May, it is only one way to be closer to Christ because she always brings us closer to Him."

"To me it is a daily contact, that is, a time when I disconnect from everything, no cell phone, nothing. Only the direct contact with her, when I can give everything, my entire day, my preoccupations, all that I have."

"For me to pray the Rosary, in May especially, is the devotion to Mary because she is the mother of God-- she carried Jesus for 9 months-- and I can devout at least one month to pray this rosary."

"It is a moment to be with the Lord and to tell him everything, to pray repeatedly, alone in peace, to pray and to be with him."

"It is a way of bringing the world into prayer and also of remembering God's mysteries in the world, and the mysteries of Jesus' life."

"Come closer to Jesus Christ through his mother. That now God came to the world she is a portal of our grace, so just to come closer to her in a prayer that meditates on her life with Jesus on earth."

"I am rediscovering the passages of the Gospel and these mysteries with Mary. As a woman I think that in life you can always discover more about the Virgin Mary."
