Everything that is in the Rosary prayer is biblical (word of God / word in the bible)
If they say that praying over and over again is worthless, So, is the word of God meaningless? Not like that!
This is what we read in Luke;
Luke 4: 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God
It says that man will live by the Word of God. Well, the Prayer Rosary is the word of God because it is biblical. If they would say that the prayer of rosary is meaningless, they say that God's word is meaningless!
It's still;
Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, BLESSED IS THE HE WHO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, and keep it.
See, even blessed are those who hear the word of God how much more if it is in prayer and do it wholeheartedly and let it be repeated again?
■ Is there a prayer in the Bible repeatedly?
ANSWER: there is (but it is not a trivial prayer)
◆◆> MATTHEW 26:44 - Three times Jesus repeats the same prayer, it happens in the garden of Gethsemane, saying the exact same words again.
Was it Jesus' time to pray over and over again, was not it right? Of course it's worth it!
◆◆> 2 Corinthians 12: 8 (Good News Bible) "I have prayed to the Lord for three times, but."
Three times means over and over again
◆◆> Rev. 4: 8 - repetitive prayer - HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!
◆◆> Psalm 136 - repetitive prayer - "love endures forever".
◆◆> Dan. 3: 35-66 - repetitive prayer - "Bless the Lord".
There are so many verses that show repetitive prayer, meaning not all repetitive prayers meaningless. This is especially significant if it is a Bible similar to the Holy Rosary.
Summary:
The contents of the Rosary prayer that we have described above are biblical. It is a meaningful prayer that we should pay attention to. Amen! Amen! Amen! Glory to God the highest!
