5, 6, and 7 decade rosaries (contributions by Bishop Thomas Daly) The rosary, historically has been one of the most loved practices in Catholic devotion taking different forms throughout the centuries. The rosary allowed many of the faithful in Western Europe who could not pray the 150 Psalms contained in the Liturgy of the Hours, the community prayer of priests and nuns to align their prayer with the daily prayer of the Church. In different spiritual traditions within the Catholic Church, variations of the rosary developed. Some rosaries differed in the number of decades: 5 DECADES: The most common rosary is known as the Dominican Rosary that consists of three sets of five mysteries, with each mystery containing a decade (or set of 10) of Hail Mary prayers, totaling 150.
