My family and I have always prayed the rosary ever since we were kids. One day I asked my Mom why we prayed the rosary ,and she just smiled and said,I made a promise to pray it always ". Later I found out here's my Mom's story : So when my Mother was a young girl still living at home ,her mother my Grandmother was going away for the weekend .while Grandma was away my mom had a dream where she saw the Blessed Mother and holding out her hand the Blessed Mother handed Mom a green rosary ,and said to her , " I want you to pray the rosary for the rest of your life ". When Grandma returned from her trip , she says to my Mom, " Here, I bought you a gift ." And gave her a green rosary ! Years later when my beautiful Mother passed , my brother placed a green rosary around her fingers . And now I thought , she could go to Blessed Mary and tell her that she kept her promise of praying the rosary everyday of her life ! PS because of our Mother my family and I still pray the rosary everyday !! Thanx Mom ! 👍 😁❤❤❤

I have decided to become a Catholic at 63, influenced by this channel, and look forward to praying the Rosary every morning. I can't articulate the positive influence of the Rosary.

When I first started praying the rosary I was a little scared.. haha. But it made me feel so calm. I love praying the rosary now. My dad is Protestant, but even he is like, “if this is what gets you to actually talk to god and feel closer to him then I’m all for it”. It’s made such a difference in my prayer life.

After many months of practicing the Rosary daily, I am now focusing in a deeper way instead of distractions both physical and mental. The Rosary is my companion and is healing. The transformation in my life continues to amaze me. God bless all.

I have to confess that for me has been difficult to pray it because it’s so repetitive… but now I’m starting to like it :)… thanks God! ❤

Very very powerful. I’m in the process of becoming a Catholic and there’s a part of me that no matter what I’ve watched has understood the way Mary is viewed or held. Now I get it. Incredible stuff.

If finding the Rosary difficult try saying 1st decade on rising; 2nd decade at noon; 3rd decade at 3pm; 4th decade at teatime; 5th decade on retiring to bed. Say each decade as best as possible.

By praying the Rosary daily it has brought me healing. Physical healing when I'm in pain. I offer it up to our Lord and within a short time after praying the Rosary I get relief of my pain. It has also I believed helped with many healings that I have prayed for with people who have had terminal illnesses that are now cured. Mary has powerful healing graces we just need to pray to her and ask for them.

Wonderful insight! I now pray daily the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries and it seems that they fly by ... not tedious at all ... so the dear Bishop is spot on. Blessings!

As an Irish cradle Catholic I am lamentably ignorant about the power of the Rosary. Now unwell and getting old I am once again trying to revive it in my life - indeed I have been attempting to integrate it back into my life for three decades! Anything that will help me understand and develop this skill, ideally use it as my late father did when he was ailing as I am now, would be such a source of consolation for me now. Finding a way to do this online has been a project since the pandemic but looking for perfection is my downfall. All help therefore is appreciated.

I find your consistent use of adjectives such as "holy" and "blessed" in the proper places, surprisingly satisfying.

It is powerful in spiritual battles

I was called home from in a powerful divine dream or what I believe to be divine because when I woke up I remembered every detail and felt it. I’m a cradle Catholic, catholic school. The whole 9 yards. I stumbled into the new age and my husband kept trying to tell me it’s evil but I was ignorant and didn’t think it was. Now I know better. Thank God in his infinite mercy to literally yank me out of it and call me home to Catholicism. I’m home and happy. Pray the rosary every day and am filled with peace and joy. Will the rosary also give protection to my family?

This is one of the most powerful acknowledgements and entry pints to understanding the True Power of the Rosary and the Power bestowed to Mary in defense of all Catholics to protect them against the evils of this world.

Replying re distractions: We all struggle a lot with distractions. Just don't give up. Our Lady knows our efforts and will reward and help us accordingly.

Just start praying it in a committed regular way. It’s the discipline and regularity/faithfulness to the devotion that puts you into deeper closer relationship- just like it does with human beings on earth. Don’t expect to feel anything during prayer just commit to it and you will see changes. For me 3-4 mysteries a day is a personal need but i started with just one and after a few weeks the commitment to do more came upon me.

Love the Rosary,Bishop Robert Barron has a wonderful commentary before each decade so helping you to meditate while praying each mystery.

I am 81 years old and became Catholic 6 years ago and have never regretted it. My mornings begin with praying the rosary. This beautiful prayer equips me to face each day. I cannot skip the rosary for any reason. Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Praying the Rosary was especially helpful in my conversion. I continue to pray the Rosary whenever I can, it is truly a powerful spiritual weapon.

I highly highly recommend The Admirable Heart of Mary by St. John Eudes for those wanting to learn more about our Mother.

Beautiful insight into the Holy Rosary.

Powerful 🫶🏾🙏🏾

Totally agree with you Bishop. Just start praying it. Jesus, Mary bless us Amen.❤🙏🏼💙🙏🏼

I understand my own faith more deeply when I listen to Bishop McCaig. Thank you and God bless you.

Thank you , Bishop and Matt. I was meditating on the Glorious Mysteries and when praying the last Mystery, Our Lady's Glorious Crpwning, I was thinking about " A Great Sign appeared in the Sky, a Woman clothed with the Sun,, with the Moon under Her feet and a Crown of twelve Stars on Her head and "Who is shecthat comes forth as the Morning rising, Fair as the moon Bright as the Sun, Terrible as an Army set in Battle Array" esp. the Latter part that Bishop McCaig, taught, I was was wondering what it really meant. Thank you, Bishop McCaig for "enlightening" me. Thank you, of course,, firstly, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, all Praise, Glory and Honour, to Our Lord Jesus Christ,, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Amen 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

I’ve been praying the rosary all my life🤷‍♂️sometimes O feel nothing , No magic , No comfort just nothing. I do It in obedience to Mary. I just do It . Sometimes my life even gets worse but It’s what my god telling me to do

This was SO GOOD. Wew!

Thanks for this! Good timing!

Thank you very much for enlightening us. I do have so much passion for the Holy Rosary. I have desires in my heart to fulfill my Art exhibit of Holy Rosary mysteries as well as Holy Rosary Musical for theatre. The Lord is at work with me in this pursuit. I love how Mother Mary appeared to the soldiers and speak, "dear soldiers please do not hurt my children". That apparition of Mother Mary was during the Edsa Revolution in the Philippines. We enjoy the peaceful situation because of God's way to give unto us Mama Mary, and a Shrine of Peace is established it is the Queen Of Peace. I love Mama Mary very Much and I love my intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus. ❤❤❤ oh how I love praying and contemplating the Holy Word.❤

Got a great deal out of this. Thank you Bishop and Matt!

Wow again this was amazing !! Thank you sooo much !!🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

Loved this interview with Bishop McCaig 💙📿

Excellent interview! I love praying the Holy Rosary :)

Awesome insights. Thank you 🙏

Started praying 4 rosaries a day through a recommendation of its power, and the weight of temptation that sexual immorality has over me has pretty much collapsed, in such a way that I can actually say no and it means something.

Great video!

Beautifully said.

Amazing video with some great insight on our Mother Mary and mother of God.

Thank you.

Wonderful video!

Wonderful! I recently got to four a day, after a loooong journey. Most days now, when my duties permit, I pray, all four. At least three before Holy Mass. She is preparing me to receive HIM. Omne pulchrum est Maria.

Good interview. 🙏🙏

Awesome commentary

Even if you get distracted ,and you WILL , remember that the worst rosary is the one that IS NEVER PRAYED . The Blessed Mother accepts ALL rosaries pray it every day !

Great video❤️🙏

Very helpful

Hail Holy Queen!

I Liked what the priest said about the rosary. It provides me with greater understanding of Mary and the efficacy of saying rosary

💥 MUCH ❤️

So beautiful ❤

Truth. The proof is in the pudding of saying a daily rosary. You have to do it to experience its realness.

I think the hard part for me is that I feel trapped into saying and I struggle with a feeling of resentment on having to do it daily. I fail sometimes. But I’m still consistent.

ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU HE DIED FOR YOU SO YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND REPENT!🙏🙏 AMEN.’!!!!

I was waiting for a Padre Pio quote. I'll take his word over anyone else's regarding the question of the validity of the rosary.

I wish I could double like and tripple like this video wow

Matt, I will change your analogy to: getting into a fight with a man and his MOTHER beats His opponent

I've been praying it daily, last night I got up to go to the bathroom and I saw a face of what appeared to be a face of a women on the bathroom mirror which I believe to be marry, thank you marry for visiting me

🤯

Could someone please recommend me a good book on Spiritual Warfare? I‘ve read „Live No Lies“ and „Winning the war in your mind“ but would appreciate some Catholic ressources :)

I’ve been exploring catholic teaching on Mary and there’s a lot I agree with but I have to disagree when he said the Mary will crush the head of the serpent. Genesis says Jesus will strike the head not Mary.

Is it wise to enter into Holy Matronly With an addiction to Alcohol gambling drugs Pornography Without the fiancé knowing

I grew up catholic, now consider myself protestant. I still have tremendous respect for the catholic church but I'll be honest that I cannot wrap my head around the idea of praying the rosary and asking Mary or any other saints to intercede spiritually on our behalf... As we know God is all knowing, all powerful, always present so He does have the ability to listen and answer every single prayer past, present, & future... So with that said, with there being over 1.3 billion catholics around the world, according to the catholic belief, Mary and the saints have the ability to listen and intercede for the 1.3+ billion catholics past, present, & future too. Would this mean God also grants Mary & the saints omnipotency, omniscient, & omnipresence in order to perform the intercessions while in heaven? If yes, where in scripture tells us that? Thanks.

"The seed of the women will crush your head" I was not Mary who will crush the head of the serpent it was her seed who is Jesus why we catholic always refer Mary as the one who will crush the serpent head.

Cannot find praying the rosary anywhere in the Bible what I do find is to not use vain repetition as the Heathen do,

My gripe is, Demons do not fear Mary more than God. Can we stop saying this.

I love Mary no matter what but It’s failed to teach the rosary is fruitful to our life , It’s only fruitful to our soul . In this life the rosary only has brought me pain and suffering. Gods plan

I find it impossible to concentrate on the mysteries of the day, and the words of the Hail Mary at the same time. Steeping my mind in the mystery reduces the prayer to a mantra. As the words of the Hail Mary could occupy the study of a life time, turning them to a subconscious chant seems inappropriate. I can't be the only one who struggles with this contradiction, and suspect many concentrate on the prayer counted on fingers or beads, and not the sacred mystery. Also, I have a vivid imagination and find events like the scourging at the pillar sufficiently traumatic, that it casts a depressing cloud over the day. There is no light, as with the Resurrection, just a twice weekly reminder of man's inhumanity to man. By contrast the Annunciation is a beautiful event I'm happy to linger on. Obviously, if the Hail Mary becomes routine, one doesn't have to engage in its deeper meaning, but that seems to miss the point.

Lend it to the Ukrainians then

The birth of Rosary, everyone. *Jesus* - When you pray, please do not make it a whole public self-endorsement thing... just talk to the Father in your room in private... Matthew 6,5 *Catholics* - Hey, wouldn't it be fun, if we made those big rosary circles and just prayed altogether in complete unison for self-endorsement? Forget the whole relationship part, I mean there must be no harm in treating God like a machine that just pops graces as you insert the identical prayer coins right? *Jesus* - When you pray, do not babble like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Matthew 6,7 *Catholics* - Hey, you know what also? It would be best I think if we just repeated the same exact prayer over and over again! And you know, the more times you repeat the same words the better, right? Let's just make it talking in circles non stop! *Jesus* - Whatever you ask of me in my name, I shall give to you. John 16,24 *Catholics* - Also how about we just direct the whole thing to a mortal person, and ask her to pray for us and get our grace for us. I mean the whole asking God in Jesus name directly stuff can't possibly work. *Jesus* - Also, pray Our Father, would you? *Catholics* - ... ... ... ... ALL RIGHT FINE :/ Just... just shove it there in between our stuff. GEEZ. :/ jokes aside, I'm Catholic, I'm just capable of laughing at my own backyard too. And I do believe rosary works, because God can absolutely make wonders even with the TINY bit of obedience and TINY bit of faith that can be found in it. But it is, without a doubt, the worst possible "waste of time" prayer that our Church ever invented, literally doing everything in a least effective way, and exactly opposite of what Our Lord DIRECTLY AND CLEARLY asked...

Mark<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="977">16:17</a> Jesus says in my name you will cast out demons show me in bible where it says Mary has power over demons

Matt6 and when you pray do not use vein repetitions as the heathens do for they believe they will be heard with their many words..is Mary omnipresent? Nothing this guy says is biblical about Mary

Jesus thought his disciples how to pray and his prayer starts by our Father. No where in the bible they pray other than the Father why pray someone else ?

Bet you didn't know that in the Bible, in both the Old and the New Testament, all Believers always pray DIRECTLY to God the Father. Isn't that awesome? And in the New Testament it's always directly to God the Father, "in the name of Jesus". In fact when the disciples asked Jesus himself how to pray he said: "... your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..." Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="368">6:8</a>‭-‬9 And... "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="366">6:6</a> And in God's Word Jesus himself intercedes for us, not his human mother. This is exactly what it says: "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="445">7:25</a> "Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us." Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="514">8:34</a> And the Holy Spirit: "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; Roman <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="506">8:26</a> That's good enough for me. So, in conclusion, in the Bible the idea is NOT to go to the Son's human mother (or to anyone else), who then goes to the Son, who then goes to the Father with your request. No, your Heavenly Father's wish and desire is that you go DIRECTLY to Him with all your prayers and petitions. I'm not kidding. Check it out for yourself. So why go in little circles when the Father wants, and even commands, that we come directly to Him. "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father." John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="986">16:26</a>‭-‬27 It's as though I was a simple little employee in a huge giant corporation. And the President/Owner of the corporation adopted me and loved me and told (ordered) me that any time I had a problem or a request, I was to go directly to him, and he would handle it. Perfect.

*the rosary another Pagan innovation*

The rosary does not ar all help you. God and Christ made it pretty clear many times thar you do not pray to a human. She was only favored and was given a choice. Read the Bible instead.

I prayed the whole rosary once, in the Dominican tradition, and I honestly didn't feel much better and things didn't start to change (for better or worse). Although I prayed intensely, I didn't feel any "magic" or "spark." Maybe that's because it's only my first time praying with it? When I do something, I never do it again if I don't feel anything good coming from it in that moment and/or afterwards. In general, praying has never really helped me whatsoever (other than being put in a calming meditative state, which I can accomplish in other ways).

There is only one intercessor between man and God the Father- Jesus Christ. Did Catholics copy the idea of the rosary from the Muslims?

No one prayed the Rosary in the Bible. It's a doctrine of man.

The idea that an infinite being would...I'm sorry...but it's silly. I absolutely mean no disrespect. If we are created in God's image, then so are our minds. If our minds are in God's image, then we can discern what is just silly...There was no rosary with Jesus or early Christians. Yes, it falls under the traditions of Catholicism--and in that sect, tradition has weight like scripture. My question is why would any prayer be somehow amplified by a string of beads and a repeated prayer? Jesus NEVER demonstrated anything close to that. It's an incantation...pretty sure those aren't ok....it's just silly.

There is nothing powerful about the rosary. On the contrary, it will bring you misfortune and miser. Try praying to God, the creator.
