Recently, I was having a discussion about praying the rosary and was asked
"Who are you praying to when you pray the rosary?"
I am praying to God, Jesus and asking Our Blessed Mother for her intercession.
Praying the rosay is meditating on the Gospels.
The Gospel is the story of Jesus which includes God choosing Mary to be Jesus' mother.

i have said the same answer-the rosary is all about meditating on Jesus and seeking Mary, His chosen Mother, to intercede. I have found verses in the bible though that says Jesus is our intercessor. Romans 8:34 So I've been challenged as to why I wouldn't only go straight to Him.
