Hi All!
I just want to put in my 2 cents worth and say I find this discussion very interesting! I am just in the process of seriously learning more about the Catholic Church, with a view to eventual formal conversion. I am now learning how to pray the rosary, and I have wondered which way to pray it, IE: if it was “wrong” to do it from the other direction, since the instructions I am using have me going counter-clockwise. It seems to me, that from what I gather so far, it matters less which way you go around the rosary, and more that you DO go around the rosary!
Have a great day

That’s exactly how I feel. As long as you pray the rosary is what matters the most. Not technicalities of clockwise/counter-clockwise.

A leftie?..Then traditionally you’ll need to pray !!! That’s the mark of the devil (traditionally).:stretcher:

LMAO! If you want to be litteral, I’m actually even handed. (Not ambi…ambi people use both hands for everything, I use both my hands for seperate tasks. For example I use my left hand to write and my right hand to cut…and I can’t switch them. I wanna be ambi…)

Worry not …I’m not being literal, merely using humour to point to the absurdity of a situation. (Clockwise or counter-clockwise?) There are greater things than scrupulosity in gesture (for example,in Nikos Kazantzakis’ *Zorba the Greek *a woman was excluded from society because she didn’t make the sign of the cross the same as everyone else. An example of taking external worship to an extreme.) If you go into a regular Catholic Church there are many forms of worship and postures for prayer. I don’t think we should be too hung up on the way of saying the rosary.
There is a tendency for pharisee behahaviour in us all.

I go different ways at different times. I really never pay attention.
