Pope John Paul II said in his apostolic letter, "Rosarium Virginis Mariae": 
"A marvellous prayer! Marvellous in its simplicity and its depth"
"Through the Rosary the faithful receive abundant grace, as though from the very hands of the Mother of the Redeemer."
"To recite the Rosary is nothing other than to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ"
"The Church has always attributed particular efficacy to this prayer, entrusting to the Rosary, to its choral recitation and to its constant practice, the most difficult problems"
"The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Our Lady"
