*Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. *

It is a wonderful idea to learn how to understand what we pray! The first commandment tell us to serve Our Lord and God with all of our heart, soul, and
mind. When I read and understand in more depth what I was saying, when I was praying, it was powerful!
Several works contain an explanation of the Our Father, among them are
The Secret of the Rosary by St. Louis Mary de Montfort and
The Way of Perfection by St. Teresa of Avila.
The Secret of the Rosary also contains several explanations of the Hail Mary. I sometimes like to pray them in my Most Holy Rosary. And in my book,
The Secret of the Rosary, it attributes the
Glory Be to the Father to St. Louis Mary de Montfort. The book
True Devotion to Mary explains a sure and perfect devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and it is awesome to know
why we should be devoted to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The Glories of Mary by St. Alphonsus de Liguori, one of the 33 Doctors of the Catholic Church, explains the Hail Holy Queen prayer.
More info:
The Secret of the Rosary, explains the origin and name, prayers, mysteries, marvelous effects, proper dispositions, ways to combat distractions and pray the Rosary effectively, and Confraternities (so you can have the benefit of other people’s Rosaries as well) of the Most Holy Rosary.
Someone once wrote of this book, *“Possibly the finest book ever written about the Rosary; appeals to all ages. Shows the great spiritual power of the Rosary, which is appreciated by few.” *
Pope John Paul II was also consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the method of St. Louis Mary de Montfort by
True Devotion to Mary and also wrote reflections on the book. St. Padre Pio, who said,
“The Rosary is The WEAPON”, said as many as 90 rosaries a day in a special form for which he received ecclesiastical permission. Father Thomas Euteneur, President of Human Life International, cites this in
The Rosary Batters the Gates of Hell hli.org/sl_2008-10-03.html
And adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is explained best to the best of my knowledge in the book
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This book comes from revelations and apparitions to St. Margaret Mary (1647 - 1690)

I don’t know if this will help you or not… but when I pray the Rosary… I use large (8x10) color prints of each Mystery. It helps me to keep my mind on the Mystery being prayed. I tend to have a problem with a “wandering mind”… so, this really helps me.
