Since When Is It Vain to Pray the Rosary? When Jesus condemned praying “vain repetitions,” was he condemning all repetitious prayer? No. Nope. Definitely, absolutely not.

The Prayer (line by line)
Explanation
1.Hail Mary, full of GraceLuke 1:28 (Hail, full of Grace)The Angel Gabriel greets Mary with very respectful greeting used for royalty. The text doesn’t say “Mary” after Hail but it is implied. Gabriel then proclaims Mary full of Grace (full of God’s own life and love)
2.The Lord is with YouLuke 1:28 (The Lord is with you)This is word for word. The Angel Gabriel said that the Lord is with Mary; she is full of his Grace, his own life.
3.Blessed are you among WomenLuke 1:41 (Blessed are you among women)Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit; she is inspired by the 3rd person of the Blessed Trinity to proclaim that Mary is the most blessed among all women.
4.And Blessed is the fruit of thy womb JesusLuke 1:42 (and blessed is the fruit of your womb)Elizabeth still inspired by the Holy Spirit proclaims that the fruit of Mary’s womb, the developing Jesus, is blessed. The text doesn’t say “Jesus” after womb, but it is implied, the fruit of her womb is Jesus.
5.Holy Mary, Mother of GodLuke 1:43 (And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?)Mary is full of God’s grace; this would make her holy. Mary is the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity. Since Jesus is God this makes her the mother of God. She is the mother of the God-Man Jesus, not the mother of the Trinity.
6.Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death – James 5:16 (Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects)St. James tells Christians to pray for one another. All the baptized are members of the body of Christ (1Cor 12:12-14), therefore it is right to pray for other members of the body. James goes on to say that the prayers of the righteous have great power. What human (other then Jesus) is more righteous then the Blessed Mother. Though she is in heaven she still hears the prayers of her children on Earth and intercedes for them.
People who rush through prayers and rosaries are not true devotees and their worship is not acceptable: the Catholic Church does not condone it

SAINT LOUIS MARIA GRIGNON DE MONTFORT – LA VERDADERA DEVOCION A LA VIRGEN MARIA
Sus caracteres
Interior: La verdadera devoción a Nuestra Señora es interior: es decir, debe partir del espíritu y del corazón; nace dicha devoción de la estima que se hace de la Virgen, de la alta idea que uno se ha forma do de sus grandezas y del amor que se le tiene. Tierna: Es tierna, es decir, llena de confianza en la Santísima Virgen, como la de un niño para con su buena madre. Esta devoción es la que hace que un alma recurra a Ella en todas sus necesidades de cuerpo y espíritu con mucha sencillez, confianza y ternura. Santa: Esta devoción a nuestra Señora es santa: es decir, que conduce a un alma a evitar el pecado y a imitar las virtudes de la Santísima Virgen en particular, la humildad profunda, la fe viva, la ciega obediencia, la continua oración, su universal mortificación, la pureza incomparable, la caridad ardiente, la heroica paciencia, la dulzura angelical y la divina sabiduría. Tales son las diez principales virtudes de la Santísima Virgen. Constante: Es constante, es decir, afirma a un alma en el bien y la lleva a no abandonar fácilmente las prácticas de devoción; la hace animosa para oponerse al mundo, y sus costumbres y sus máximas, a la carne con sus apetitos y sus pasiones, y al demonio en sus tentaciones: de modo que una persona verdaderamente devota a la Santísima Virgen no es mudable, melancólica, escrupulosa ni medrosa. Desinteresada: La verdadera devoción a Nuestra Señora es desinteresada; es decir, inspira aun alma que no se busque a sí misma; sino sólo a Dios en su Santísima Madre. Un verdadero devoto de María no ama a esta augusta Reina por espíritu de lucro y de interés, ni por su bien temporal ni espiritual, sino únicamente porque merece ser servida, y Dios sólo en Ella. (Tratado de la Verdadera Devoción, núms. 105-110)
