PRAYER TO ST RITA FULL
In 2002 Pope St John Paul II added the Luminous Mysteries (or mysteries of light) to the full rosary. Traditionally three sets of five mysteries the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries, have been used within the Rosary. Groups of men and women from many Christian traditions have better understood and been enriched by faithful recollection and mediating on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

There have been many associations, groups, apostolates and communities committed to the Rosary throughout the history of the Church. For those for whom the rosary leads to a deep, lasting and rich communion with God, we welcome you to the SSR.

For those who do not find the Rosary useful, we pray you will find other disciplines and practices. All Christians' primary focus must be on finding and practising a prayer life that teaches and brings close the truth, narrative and requirements of the Gospel. The Rosary is an ancient and holy form of prayer that many have, do and will find helpful.
