A devotion in which the faithful recite prayers while meditating on mysteries in the life of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary is called the?

• A. Bible
• B. Rosary
• C. Four Last Things
• D. Solidarity

Answer: (B)

A Catholic devotional practice that combines reciting prayers with meditating on events in Jesus' life and the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Rosary. In the Rosary, believers move through a series of mysteries—joyful, sorrowful, glorious, and, in some traditions, luminous—reflecting key moments in Christ's life and Mary’s role. While keeping a steady rhythm of prayers like the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be, the focus remains on contemplating these mysteries, guiding prayer with contemplation. This makes the Rosary the best choice because it is specifically defined as this prayerful meditation on the life of Christ and Mary. Other options do not describe a devotional practice of prayer paired with meditation on mysteries: the Bible is the sacred scriptures, not a prayer devotion; Four Last Things is a thematic set for reflection on death, judgement, heaven, and hell; Solidarity is a social or ethical principle, not a devotional practice.
