The Rosary is one of the most said prayers in the history of humanity. In that sense, it is indeed a phenomenon worthy of exploration. The words, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God …” This is three-quarters of the entire prayer, and there appears to be no action item in any of these words. However, looked at from another angle, when one says “blessed art thou” is this an action item conferring your own blessing onto Mary, adding your intention energy and thereby increasing her divine or “blessed” status? Is that even possible? And will this benefit the one praying?

We see this declaration as one of simply honoring one who is thought to be holy, but does not constitute an instruction to the Almighty to confer blessings on Mary per se. If you think about this, you will see the truth of things, that most religious people do not feel they can ask the Almighty to carry out such acts for another divine being. So it is a form of worship, one of recognition to state the belief that Mary is special and assumed to be blessed by the Almighty for her place in the pantheon of the highest and holiest beings. If one were to hold the intention for God to bless and honor Mary for the reasons given, we would do so because that is a worthwhile prayer, no different than asking the divine to bless yourself or bless one of your children and thereby confer some special favors. It would be far better to make this explicit if one wants this to happen and, moreover, to state explicitly what one means by "blessing of someone"—that is the vaguest of terms and is a weak prayer in itself even when intended to do good. The question for the divine realm is, "What good is to be done? Are we to smile on her, send her a message she is being honored and to congratulate her for being thought of reverently, to give her kudos for a job well done, or something more to raise her up further, to give her extra reach and capability as a kind of reward, and so on?" None of this is stated so none of this can be done. We can only do the merest of energetic tokens in response to a prayer outreach of that kind because it is not precise and descriptive with specific end results in mind. To pray for someone is always a karmic blessing and will benefit the one who prays as well as the recipient, but the benefit will be weak if the prayer is weak so that is good to keep in mind. You can give some thought to honing your prayer skills and this we have endeavored to help your channel with, to help teach others about how to empower prayer.
