Are you a fan of saying the Rosary?

[Alexander_Roman]

A Rosary by any other name . . .!

When one joined the Confraternity of the Rosary long ago, it was almost like joining a Third Order. Some branches had requirements to wear a rosary on one’s belt or around one’s wrist (in fact, the early and still today most widespread rosaries are “cord rosaries” not ones made with wooden or glass beads). Both men and women often took the name of “Mary” as their second name when they joined the Rosary Confraternity as well, wore a blue sash or another blue item etc.

It would be great to revive the parish-based Confraternity of the Rosary along these lines, to renew the First Sunday Communion of the Rosarians and even the Perpetual Rosary.

I have been saying the Rosary for years and 2 weeks ago a friend who is relatively new to the Rosary told me about this.

Use Google and search for themes, or the decade of the Rosary you want, looking up only visual images. As as sub to that you can choose Icons, photos or any number of different ways to portray what you want. Select what You like, save the item to your PC, hopefully if you have a color printer print the pictures, giving you a visual image for each decade of the Rosary. Make 10 different for each and have your own scriptual Rosary.

Make this into a small book form, keep it next to where you pray, make one for friends and family. If you have a nice color printer, make and send me a copy.

Thats a Great idea. When we meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries - I cannot help but think back to that Movie The Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson. Those images are seered in my conscience.
