Pope St. John Paul II
“The rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christ-centered prayer. It has all the depth of the gospel message in its entirety. It is an echo of the prayer of Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb…” (Pope St. John Paul II, Apostolic Letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae)
