How Long Does It Take You...?

It usually takes me no less than 20 minutes to pray the rosary. But I hear of it being natural to pray it in 15 minutes, and I'm like, HOW???!!!

15 minutes if I go motor mouth and speed through it (i.e. I have 20 mintues till I have to do something) 20 to 25 if I go solo and close to 30 if I do it in a group. I am tending to pray the Rosary in bits at work during dishes and range and carts and to say the full thing it takes me close to 2 hours (I lose count a lot, :(, oh well extra prayers, what can be bad?)

[quote name='VeraMaria' date='Jun 27 2004, 09:17 AM'] English: 20 min, sometimes 30 because I add all these extra prayers all through the rosary and after..

Spanish: 30-40, don't know why, mayb because the prayers are a bit longer...and I know more short prayers to add all through the rosary, lol

German: 40 or more mins, I prayeed the rosary in German for weeks before the German AP so I would be "in a German-thinking" mood and get a good score! :lol:

Latin: I WISH I could peay it in Latin!! I know how to sing the Ave Maria in Latin but that's it...and it takes forever...so yeah

:P [/quote]
I prayed part of the Rosary in English before writing English Major. Hmmm maybe I need to find a Spanglish to give me something to write for Spanglish Cat. LOL!

[quote name='cmotherofpirl' date='Jun 27 2004, 11:17 AM'] I have been doing the Scriptural rosary to keep me focused. Otherwise I drift off into contemplation and never get it finished. [/quote]
I should do that...do you know any good sites for that?

I start meditating on the mysteries sometimes and stop praying the Hail mary's without noticing until it's 10 minutes later...it's a good thing, but time-wise...:rolleyes: :D

When I pray with my family it takes about 15 minutes. When I pray at night (to help me get to sleep) I always end up drifting off for, like, 10 minutes every once in a while..... But, if for some reason I get really scared at night, I'll grab my Rosary and can have the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful AND Glorious Mysieries DONE in 15 minutes!!! :)

Same here...I don't say near as often as I should though!
