HeavenlyCalling Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I really want to know how often y'all pray it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like a Child Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I voted "yearly, if ever," but actually I hear the rosary being prayed every single day before Mass. My problem is, as a former Protestant, it's really hard for me to get into Marian devotions. The Protestant idea of Mary is so different. . . Anyway, I'd like to feel more in my heart for Mary and I've been praying about it a lot. (This hasn't helped me participate in praying the rosary yet, though. ) Your Sister in Christ, Like a Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Eh... somewhere between once a month and once a week. Sometimes I play my JPII rosary cd in the car. Or I pray a decade. Or just a few Hail Marys. It's a great way to bring me back down to earth, or rather, center me toward heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didacus Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I wish I could have voted once per day, but in truth I miss it sometimes. I probably pray it now 3-4 times a week, but working my way to everyday. I have a terrible time with the mysteries, mostly because my children are too young to understand prayer and they play around while i try to pray. Sometimes I pray when they are in bed, but I like better to pray when they are around becuase I want them to learn the value of prayer. LOL - my rosaries are probably the most interrupted rosaries our mother receives on a weekly basis... but I'm certain she understands and hears my prayers and does the only thing she can do; bring them to our Lord. PS: I've been praying the rosary regularly only for the last 7-8 months. Now that i'm praying the rosary I just can't describe how foolish I was to ever doubt the power of prayer, and the truth within it. I will pray the rosary till my dying day (I'm 32 years old now).

onlygrace08 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I pray the rosary daily. I absolutely love it! It is such a beautiful prayer! Since I pray it at night before I go to bed, I sometimes have trouble concentrating but, I know it still is doing good. I would reccomend the book, "The Secret of the Rosary" by St. Louis de Montfort. I didn't get to read the whole book but, it did help me to strengthen the fervor of my prayer.

The rosary is an extremely powerful prayer and she will help you get closer to Christ. I'll say a prayer for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This hasn't helped me participate in praying the rosary yet, though. ) Your Sister in Christ, Like a Child [/quote]Well, I like to think about it kinda like this: Do you love your earthly mother? Most would say yes, and dearly. Well, Mary is our spiritual mother and to show our love for her, we give her roses for every Hail Mary we pray. It does take time to come to know the Blessed Mother, and when you do, she will lead you even closer to her Son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsior1027 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I put once a day, though there are some days where I forget or neglect to, lol. I choose to pray the Rosary because there have been so many saints who have advised us to do so, and also because I think it's something that's a really good thing for me to do since I'm discerning a call to the priesthood. If there's anyone who can help me with that, it's my Mother.

I'm a former Protestant as well and I too have some trouble with Marian devotion...though I'm perfectly fine with the Rosary, there are still other things that I hesitate with, just because of my Protestant background...as others have already said, the Rosary is the best way to grow in our devotion to the Blessed Mother, it's definitely helped me, and I continue to pray it with the intention that I won't hesitate in my devotion to Mary. I'll be praying for you the next time I pray the Rosary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTrishaxLynnx Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I put once a day... though some days I don't pray the complete rosary, I say at least three Hail Marys every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veroni213 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I put twice a month. I'd love to pray it more, but it takes me so riduculously long (45 min- an hour) when I do it by myself. Isn't only supposed to take like twenty minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
