I'm 43 and I'm getting Baptized on Easter Vigil!

I prayed the rosary for the first time in more than 15 years, today

I pray the rosary 4 times a day in the morning, lunchtime, evening and at bedtime. I feel such a peace after every one. I also pray the divine mercy chaplet everyday at 3pm with my rosary too!

I prayed the rosary for the first time today and I can't stop thinking about it

I’m a lifelong Protestant. I didn’t start believing in any sort of offering of prayers to Mary until I had the worst toothache I’ve ever experienced. The worst part of it was that I had a trip planned for my grandmother’s 100th birthday. I couldn’t afford to do both, as my budget was just that tight. I started saying Hail Marys, and guess what? It almost felt like magic the depth of peace and strength I felt wash over me. I went on the trip, in an intense amount of pain. I also found a way to get the dental work done in a timeframe that actually worked for my needs. I’m not saying that I say Hail Marys every day or anything, but I definitely have learned a different perspective than the one that I grew up with. It was a really eye opening experience for me, for sure. I also quite recently started learning how to pray with a rosary. I’m very definitely struggling with the mechanics of it, and I sometimes get the prayers in the wrong order. I try not to overthink it though, and I remember that God cares much more about the intentions of my heart than he does about whether or not I can remember “O My Jesus” every decade. Poco a poco, voy a llegar!

I'm using my sister's account to make a comment I'm 9 years old. All I want to say is amen and pray to get blessed by God and stay safe!

I've been reciting the Rosary nightly, over the past 21 nights. Tomorrow I've booked a Confessional with our Parish Priest, this Penance and Reconciliation is the First one in 45 years!

After 3 weeks of paying the rosay, I can only imagine the great pain our lady went through watching her son suffering for us. Mary pray for us.

So many of us waste our time scrolling in social media and watching KZfaq..... there shouldn’t be a reason that you’re so “busy” to not pray the rosary 📿

the pandemic situation made me started to pray the rosary daily as a habit

Converted 30 years ago and had never prayed the rosary until the first time 17 days ago. Why that day? No idea! Had to Google everything, prayers, order, mysteries. I've never felt a deep connection to Mary but what you said about building a relationship is so true. Spending time not only saying the prayers, but contemplating the words and the mysteries and how they connect to me has made the time I spend doing this every day, something I look forward to so much. It is kind of like falling in love and I look forward to deepening my understanding and faith. Thank you for explaining things so clearly.

Our life is just like the rosary, there is Joyful, sorrowful, glorious and luminous mysteries.

When I pray the rosary I begin by asking the Holy Spirit to guide me and then I imagine walking with Our Lady through the life of her son. For instance, in the agony of the garden I sit myself down next to our Lord, put my arm around him and try to just be there for him. At the birth of our Lord, I take in all that is going on....the Angel's in Heaven sneaking in a peek....and so on. I let the Holy Spirit and the Blessed reveal to me whatever they want me to see. Sometimes you don't want to leave a particular event. It becomes a real encounter with God. It reminds me of when I was young and sat next to my grandmother. We would look through the pictures and she would tell me stories of each picture and the people in them. Some times she would focus on a different aspect of the picture. Hope this helps anyone trying to go deeper. God bless.

My husband and I have 3 sons, 4 daughters and 21 grandchildren. We often get together to pray the Rosary. How important for all of us to meditate every mystery. Thank you Father Mark.

I have tried to meditate on the mysteries while praying. Recently, during the Joyful Mysteries I had this interior feeling and vision of St. Mary presenting her infant son Jesus to me and the grin and tears that came to my eyes was amazing.

You have literally no idea about God's timing in my life about this. God bless you.

Any person who tells you that as soon as they start praying the rosary or any prayer for that matter can immediately focus on God and maintain that without difficulty is lying to you. There will be times when you catch yourself focused on other things during prayer thats fine dont think that just because you were a little distracted that you failed to pray. Simply during these times ask you angel or Jesus or Mary to help you focus and meditate on the mysteries.

My boss who is Catholic recently gave me a rosary and taught me how to pray the rosary. The first time I prayed, I felt peace and love from Mother Mary. I now pray it every day! Thank you for this channel!!! ❤❤❤

Pray 15 decades every day for the Church! This synod is bringing so much strife in the Church. Our Lady of Akita, pray for us!

Mother Mary is the greatest blessing to the world

"relationship and not just recitation " is a perfect way to understand how to pray the rosary ❤️ thank you Father for explaining this brilliantly in a non overwhelming and imposing way.

Thank you Fr. Mark. Two of the greatest gifts our LORD gave us before he ascended into heaven , the EUCHARIST and Mother Mary. Catholicism is beautiful.

The rosary helped my whole prayer life. After awhile I found myself talking to god all throughout the day.

"My brothers and sisters. My future saints out there." Love this line. Thank you.

I pray every day five decades either I pray morning or evening when arrived home from work and Divine Mercy Chaplet most I pray morning before work.

I'm a 57-year-old Catholic raised in the age that believed, 'Endurance = Love of God'. This is the best advice I've received on the Rosary my entire life.

For me praying the Rosary is like a "phone call" to Mary and Jesus, but the kind of phone call that can hug you from inside. Can't live without it now

Have faith in mother Mary..Rosary is our protection..

*IM 12 YEARS OLD FROM THE PHILIPPINES,I LOVE COLLECTING HOLY STATUES SINCE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND NOW I HAVE 300 HOLY STATUES AND I LOVE LIVING A HOLY LIFE,I PRAY MY MORNING PRAYERS (MORNING) 20 DECADES OF THE HOLY ROSARY (AFTER SCHOOL) EVENING PRAYER (NIGHT)💛💛💛💛THE HOLY ROSARY IS VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY THIS END TIMES!💕GOD BLESS Y'LL!💕*

When I pray the rosary, I placed myself at the site of the corresponding mystery.... so for example at the agony in the garden, I placed myself besides Jesus in the garden, keeping him company and loving him....

When I pray, especially the joyful mysteries, I have an image in my mind of Mary pregnant with Jesus and it feels so good saying the words "blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus"... I find myself in the position of her cousin Elizabeth feeling and saying "Who am I that the mother of my Lord is here to visit me."

I'm new to the family, and when i first started praying rosary i got no idea what it was about! I just recited until i learned the prayers, then i started asking our Lady, how to pray deeper how should i do this. Then what i started doing is imagining in my mind that i am with our Lady during each mystery and that i am seeing our Lord through her eyes and asking her to pray for me, to grow in my prayer life and asking her to pray for my family/friends/the departed ones/my diocese/the whole world then i would recite 10 Hail Mary's etc. It takes me a little longer to do the whole Rosary, but it so much worth it. I love just sitting there and having a mental prayer/conversation with our Holy Mother. Anyways, hope this is helpful for someone. 🙏❤️

Pray the Rosary FROM the Heart! 💓 Then the distractions will go away! God bless you always Fr. Mark! ✝️

Once my mom past away I started to pray the rosary every Friday Saturday and Sunday. If I can once during the week. I bought a book for children it’s called the the rosary for children and this is how I learned how to pray. Thanks father for this video. Luv the cup

This is how we should pray we need to be in contemplation in all our prayers.

I have from last June attempted to pray the Rosary prayerfully. It has been a real struggle for me to not let my mind wander. I am getting better at focusing on the mysteries but I have a way to go yet. I am not discouraged. This is a discipline and practice along with a sincere desire to please our Heavenly Father will see ultimate success.

When we pray the rosary we are accompanying Mary as she accompanies Jesus. Accompanying Jesus with Mary

I recently completed the 6 first Saturday devotion Our lady asked us to fulfil at Fatima. She asked us to accompany her and meditate on the mysteries for 20 min. Was difficult at first, but when you go through them, really delving deep, reflecting on the details, it is truly moving. I cried a few times thinking of Our Lords passion, and really feeling compassion, and sorrow for my sins. Thinking how humble, yet powerful the story of our salvation played out. And how the mysteries can be, and are present to us now. Significant and relevant to each and every one of us. Because the story is for your sake, and mine.

Mother Mary has always been the hardest but most desired aspect of the Catholic faith for myself, a cradle Catholic. I started praying the rosary and for the first time in my LIFE too! And it has changed my internal life in such amazing ways, I cannot explain to you how much of a spiritual weapon it TRULY IS. If you want to experience Our Blessed Mother intercede in your mind and heart and hands and lead you to her Son, and her Son to you.... PRAY YOUR ROSARY!

❤️I am an orthodox priest and love to pray the holy rosary. Thank you for this video Father, Glory to Jesus Christ.🕊

This was very helpful! I began RCIA this year and have started trying to pray the rosary regularly. (Still need a cheat sheet, but I find that listening to rosary podcasts helps me follow along and stay focused.) This video answered some questions I had about where my thoughts should be focused during the recitations. Also encourages me NOT to be discouraged when I occasionally find myself thinking about what I need to make for dinner in the middle of a Hail Mary! Just gently redirect my thoughts and keep going. As you say, poco a poco! 🙏

I am gonna pray after this vid!

I am so glad to hear your comments on the Rosary. I am a 67 year old cradle Catholic and I simply could not say the Rosary most of my life. When I read that St. Therese, the little flower, also could not say the Rosary, I was cheered a bit. It upset her very much, because she had a great devotion to Our Blessed Mother, as did I. I could not figure out how I could say the words of the Rosary at the same time as meditating on the Mysteries. At church, the people saying the Rosary out loud, say after Daily Morning Mass, would say it so quickly, I felt like I might as well have been reciting the alphabet. I could never say it like that, so I just left. If I tried to pray the Rosary by myself, it was a 2 hour extravaganza, as I would try to meditate and say each prayer with meaning. And I had little children, so I just gave up. That was why I was so happy to find out that a SAINT could not say the Rosary!! Then I found the Kate and Mike Crusade and said the Rosary with them. What a difference! They say the prayers but have a small meditation on each bead. I truly believe that if St. Therese had had such a resource, she too, would have been able to say the Rosary. It certainly made me feel much better to find out that Pope Paul XI said something like saying the Rosary badly could be worse than not saying it at all. Remembering the incredibly fast recitation of the people after Mass, and me just leaving because it seemed pointless was actually the right thing to do. ( Always felt guilty, but it just seemed useless) Thanks Fr. Mark And God bless you.

Sometimes when I pray the rosary my mind is elsewhere. Thank you for this reminder to study the mysteries!

Wonderful messages father 🤗 A world at prayer, is a world at peace! 1. Pray ROSARY 2. Pray ROSARY 3. Pray ROSARY ..... 100. Pray ROSARY Every day holding the ROSARY beads is like holding your Blessed FATHER and Mother's hand with humble and grateful heart. Mother Mary pray for us and whole the world. Amen God have Mercy on us and whole the world. Amen W/ love from Indonesia 🇲🇨💓🇲🇨

one thing that absolutely changed my life was praying the 5 decades of the Divine Mercy chaplet after each decade of the rosary.

I'm converting in 2019, and my biggest problem was praying the rosary. When i was in protestan i was told rosary was said a devil prayer, because praying to mary, and i was not comfortable doing it at first. But Jesus teach me to meditate on His journey, and it becomes the best thing in my life, when I'm afraid, anxiety attack, sick, sad all those negative things gone, my hearts free and full of love. How amazing our Lord is. Thank you Jesus my King.

I used to feel god hear my prayers, thank you father. One mother trying to hear each of us is a ❤ emotion

When am really upset and have no idea what to even pray, when I cannot articulate even one coherent thought in my head, it is my prayer. I just wail and groan. It gets like that for me

"God always gives a greater blessing to humble beginnings than to those that start with the chiming of bells." -St. Vincent de Paul

So before I ever attended a Mass (mid-Aug 2020) a co-worker had a rosary blessed & gave it to me, with a instruction on how to use it. I was clueless & it was hard to work with. But then I found a video on YT of Fr John Gabriel who sings the rosary from start to finish. Now I do it every day at 3pm for Jesus, then at 4pm for Mother Mary through Kevin Nester' Rosary Crew on YT. I'm enjoying it now, because as I go through the rosary I think of what Christ has done & is doing for me, & how I fall short of any mercy or grace, yet God & Christ give it to us in overwhelming endless loving amounts. The depths of that love is mind-boggling, but I love the rosary now & it can only get better. It is a struggle sometimes to remain focused, but I understand the need to, to not be a 'mindless zombie' reciting. Feeling and exploring the mysteries is interesting & enlightening. Thank you for your tips, they are appreciated.

I just got finished praying a rosary ♡ I'm excited for this video!

Thank you, I'm still learning to pray the rosary properly and not just getting through the beads! Little by little, thanks!

At the end of the day when I'm completely wiped out, this time with Mary and Jesus is so precious to me. There are times when I alternate a decade with the Divine Mercy Chaplet and some days I can only get through one decade. I do what I can do, and try not to feel guilty about it. This video is timely as I realize I am doing the right thing. If I force myself to just "get through" it I never feel the peace and calmness like I do when I take my time and truly think about the words and visualize the mysteries. I am going to add looking up the Scripture as well, that was a great tip. Thanks very much Father Mark

Father, I pray the rosary for more than an hour beforw sleeping and in the morning. I am heart broken and I asked the Lord to heal me and my fiance. It was during ny contemplation that the Lord spoke to me and explained me what I have to pray for. The rosary helped me overcome my fear, forgive myself and ask protection for me and my fiance. I learned Mama Mary's sacrifice as the mother of Jesus. She spoke to me of her experience so enduring and so loving while watching her son. She's teaching me how to love my fiance now while he is away from me and how to truly love when he returns. I love the rosary and I learned to appreciate my mother more after it. I have forgiven a lot of events in my past contemplating the rosary. It is a continuous conversation with Jesus and Mama Mary. I am now actively waiting faithfully for the miracle of the rosary and the promise of Christ to happen. I am still on process though still painful, I know Jesus and Mama Mary are here with me and my fiance.

The authority on the Rosary: Saint Louis de Montfort. I recommend it to everyone.

Sad that I didn't see this sooner. This should be the first thing people should see/know before they start to pray rosary

I love this! Father Mark Mary is part of my family and my Catholic life. Thank be to God for him ❤🙏❤

I started praying the rosary almost daily 50 days ago! I've learned to meditate it, to contemplate. John Paul II said is is like contemplating Jesus through the eyes of his mother. Then I read somewhere that is also adopting the attitude of our Mother Mary to always say yes to the Lord. Finally, I can't remember if Pope Francis said that though prayer, we not only contemplate God but He also contemplates us ❤❤❤❤

My wife and i are Taking Up the rosary in the next week lots of study right now, thanks for your videos makes the practice so accessible

I love to walk and pray the rosary. I get into a zone and it is amazing!

Very timely, thank you very much for this. I am praying the rosary again after a decade and I am falling inlove everyday by saying it

Wow i was just thinking i need to say my rosary and this vid came up😍

The beautiful Rosary is the Gospel on its knees, it is the key to understanding the Love Jesus and Mary have for us. Then we in turn, love them back 🙏

For anyone who wants to learn about the Rosary, look up a book titled: Secrets of The Rosary, by St. Louis De Montfort

“Poco a poco vamos a llegar”🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰 God Bless you🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Father Mark Mary. I am a new Catholic at the age of 65. I learned to pray the Rosary with you and Father Malachi. Thank you for this teaching...so helpful.

I pray a scriptural rosary every so often. This has helped my journey to really contemplate on the persons of Jesus and Mary. I am grateful for all those persons that God has placed in my path to assist my walk. This video is simple and well done!

Pray with Father Groeschal love his meditation.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you.

I love the rosary! I always feel so blessed to to pray and meditate on the mysteries. I kinda enter a trance, I’m now in another time, in Jesus’ time. It has made me fall in love deeper with Jesus. It always reminds me that indeed Jesus walked this earth. The Bible isn’t just a big far fetched book. It’s real. The best way I’ve learnt is to read, know and miditate on your Bible. Read and understand, constantly praying the rosary, helps me meditate on the Bible.

Father you are so real. Thanks.

Ok Lord...I got it! Your timing is perfect...as always!! ❤

Father Mark, please encourage also our brothers and sisters in Christ to have a devotion to the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” to go to mass every first friday of the month and pray for 9 days the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayers. I started to have a devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus since this March 2019, I bought early last year the prayer book but I didn’t pray, I put only in the shelf beside the statue of our Lady of Lourdes that I have in my little altar. One night last year I had a dreamt that I was kneeling, clasping my hand praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary and suddenly man appeared in Mary’s side, I look up fixedly to him but he didn’t say anything, when I woke up in the morning I knew that it was Jesus who appeared in my dreamt. Every day I tried to remember which pictures of Jesus that has a similarity in my dreamt, finally I find it the answer, it was the Novena of the Sacred of Jesus picture, so I started this year to have a devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. I think God He reminds me not just to put in the shelf the prayer book but to pray to his Sacred Heart.

You’re great Fr Mark-Mary!

It is nice to hear the young ones these days going back to prayer,..... i remember back in 1970, i was going through a very bad time with panic attacks, i didn't know to handle them, all i was told that i needed medication and counseling, i even went to my local chapel at the time and asked a the priest for some hope, but all that i was told was seek medical advice...... later in 1987 i was still suffering panic attacks, i was with my x wife at the local town, and i saw a catholic shop that sold all kinds of books and rosaries and medals, i felt drawn to go in and look around, i went to the back of the shop, and i saw these books on Mother Mary, small books with Mary on the cover, something made me pick it up and look at the front and back cover, and i had a very strong feeling to buy this book, then i saw a blue rosary near by and my eyes was drawn to them, i bought them that day and did some other shopping that day before returning home.... that night after a meal, i went up to my room as i knew a panic attack was coming on and i didn't want my children seeing me in that panic state of shaking and trembling and being breathless of being choked......as i sat there on the bed, i opened the book of Mother Mary and read through each page as i was having my panic attack... and as i read the book i was asking my self deep inside if you are true Mother Mary, please help me and forgive my sins of my past.... i wasn't a practicing catholic at the time due to some things in my teenage years as boys at that age know..... any way i read the little blue book on Mother Mary and it spoke of praying the rosary and how to do the complete rosary in steps... so i started to do the rosary to Mother Mary that night....at first i felt nothing much... a little pace came into me... but many weeks later....one night i was sitting up in bed as i do when i go to bed.. due to panic attacks... i just lay there as my wife fallen asleep and our kids are in the other rooms... all of a sudden...this glow came into our room....and it lit up all the room....and my eyes saw Mother Mary standing at the base of my bed.... she had the most wonderful smile i have ever seen in my life... she was the most beautiful woman i have ever met.... and i knew from that moment who she was...Mother Mary the devoted Mother to Jesus Her Beloved Son....i turned to my wife who was sleeping at the time and that i know she is a lite sleeper in all the years i have known her... so i shook her hard to wake her up and she never stirred... i shook her again and again and no response... Mother Mary said "Do not worry for your wife is in a deep slumber and no harm has become her.... so i called out to my children in the next rooms... no one of them came through...Mother Mary said "They too are in a deep slumber also and no harm has come to them".... i said to Mother Mary... why have you come to me... for i am a sinner and done much wrong in my life, many good people have gone to chapel and churches every week without fail and they are more deserving than me to see you...Mother Mary smiled at me and said...My Dear son...do you not understand that what you hold deep inside you is more dear that why is outside you, i know your heart better than you do, since when you where child you believed in my Son Jesus you held that close to your heart....a prayer with true heart and loving towards my Son is very important...many lack that in them, their hearts are stone and seek material things of this world they see the image of the Sacred Heart but they do not come in a true heart...first they must repent all their sins and forgive those who have sinned against them and truly mean that from a true heart for that is more important....Mother Mary spoke to me on many things that night and it was so very loving to see her for real and not just an image in the chapel when i was a young lad....Mother Mary parting words to me was "My Dear Son I Am Your Mother Now and Who Ever You Touch They Shall Know" and also said " Be not concerned of the flesh for that is here on earth for a short time, but be concerned of the soul for that is eternal and lives for ever....and just at that point Mother Mary raised her hands towards me and smiled...then light came out from Her heart and hands and came flowing over to me in my bed, and floods of tears came down my cheeks like a river....i have never in all my life felt a love like that ever as long as breath in this world, is was a live of a mother love for her first born child but a million times fold or more but words alone can not express it nor can understand the true meaning of Heavenly love....i have tried explaining to many people over a 36yrs now of that visitation of Mother Mary to me that night... it did not go down to well with many... i was called crazy, not all there and needed medical help and even someone of the cloth said the same thing.. i have been to see many different councilors in my early years but they could not give any advice on the matter... all i know that night back in 1987 was so very true and real...i will never let it go from me ever...i will say to anyone who reads this message...be of a true heart and soul for the Lord Jesus, you cant hide from His truth and He will know if you speak the truth of Him...for you are a child of the God love Him with a true heart and forgive those who have hurt you in the past and repent for all that you have done since your childhood till now, please do not hold back anything or you will hold back Grace and forgiveness...bless you Dear Ones....

I listen to Kate & Mike here on KZfaq they read scripture with Rosary. It took the Rosary to another level for me.

God Bless you Father. Thank you for everything you do for us.

Thank you Fr. Mark Mary this reflection helps. I Love you for taking the time and giving me insight, this is comforting to me. Praying to the Great comforter for you and all in your life .I love you very much. Your sister in Christ ,Audrey . P.S. if the Good Lord ever let's me become wealthy I will be there to share my wealth with you and you can have all the man mugs you want and together we can help the poor.The Blessed Mother will bring us closer to Jesus as usual and bring us together too we are after all his Royal offspring and he always gathers his children together to bring about his greater plans here and beyond🙏🤗⛪❤️🇺🇸🦅

I've been praying the rosary for 10 years that Vivian will be here with me. I haven't seen her since 2012. Also, please pray that my hearing will be fully restored and a great career will be granted to me if God is so powerful.

I prayed 4 rosaries too for spouse but not yet come but I'm continuing praying

I love this man, he is so special. He really touches my heart.

God bless you Fr Mark Mary!

I have made a decision to focus my life on the church; attend regularly (even 3 or 4 times a week when churches are in session), say my rosary a few times every day, read the Bible and other Christian literature, perhaps watch some KZfaq videos periodically. And so, I looked up Rosary to do my first rosaries . I found your video, I’ve seen about half of it, and now I know I’ll be following you. Thank you, you have a new subscriber.

the admirable secret of the holy rosary, of Saint Luis Grignion de monfort, its the best book every to read about this

Blessed Virgin Mary is the New Eve, Ark of New Covenant, Queen Mother, Queen of Heaven in Revelation. Ave Maria

He been calling me to pray the Rosary for quite some time. Just received two days ago and this video pops on my feed. Believe. ✝️🙏🏼

What a great presentation and a much needed exhortation. This prayer is NOT about repetition but about relationship with Jesus! Beautiful!

God! Make my heart fall in love more with the Most Holy Rosary!

Thank you Father Mark-Mary for this important explanation. I enjoy praying my Rosary at 3am. There are times were i get this urge and joy to pray the Rosary twice and i do. Its such a happy feeling. I am with her our Mother Mary. Its such a joyful and beautiful experience and feeling. Have a Blessed day

I just ordered the pocket guide. Thank you. I pray sometimes in desperate times and am emotionallyu involved. But you just made me realize I need to understand the Mysteries.

Thank you so much for your help. I prayed the rosary for one year and began to dislike it and could not really see the purpose any more. Then I did what you told me to and read all explanations I could find and now I prayed the joyful rosary after reflecting about all five mysteries again. It was really joyful and I never experienced the rosary this wonderful way. Thank God (not as a phrase, I really mean it) for your help. God bless you!

God must want me to pray the rosary because KZfaq has been notifying me a lot from videos showing up..

The immaculate Catholic Church glorifies GOD’s infallible Word Amen

Every Catholic needs to have the hallow app!! There are so many wonderful prayers, meditations, readings, and music. One being the scriptural rosary narrated by Jonathan roumie (Jesus in the chosen) it’s wonderful! Keeps you focused on the mysteries and the scripture all at the same time. No Catholic should be without it!!!

Thank you!!! I’m a relatively new convert to Catholicism and I have been looking for guidance on how to *pray* the rosary vs just reciting it. Your video tells me how to start and that it’s okay to start small. I agree in that I think Jesus appreciates the intention that’s in our hearts and reflecting on one mystery in order to be closer to Mary and Jesus must surely be better than just “getting” thru the entire rosary because it’s something we think we’re supposed to do.

After watching this video, I realized it was not really okay for me to pray the rosary while doing the dishes, taking a bath, and riding my bicycle to and from work, as my mind is not present on the mysteries, but on passing the time while I'm doing other things. I hope I can enter that meditative mood that Fr. Mary talked about!

Ugh I've been feeling called to do a rosary novena but have been putting it off because I'm lazy. Guess this is my push.

I just received my grandfathers rosary (The Rose Petal Rosary) a few days ago. They smell divine and iv been searching for divinity in so many places and never had interest in Chatholicism. Now i want to pray the rosary and am grafeul for you approach. I have been meditating over 5 years now, just learning the words and the mysteries, one day at a time, starting today! Thank you Father Mark-Mary

Fr Mark, thank you posting this. I have been praying the rosary with good intention but quickly as if to get it done and so I needed to hear your post - not to be mechanical in prayer but to pray to have a relationship and fall in love by saying it which in turn we fall in love with our Holy Mother, our Father, our Lord Jesus, and our Holy Spirit...
