I’m in RCIA and just started praying the Rosary, but my RCIA co-ordinator told us about the different, personalized prayers he uses when praying the Rosary. I must admit I was a little thrown as to where he puts those personal prayers in the order of things.
And I know about the Franciscan, Scriptural, and Dominican Rosaries, but is there a good resource to find out all (or most) of the different kinds of methods? Clearly the Rosary is a much richer resource than I thought it was at first. Still, I confess I’m thus far having trouble with the meditating and keeping my mind on things.
I was looking at a site where you can order custom-made Rosaries. You can design it online just to see what it’ll look like and how much it’ll cost. There was a bewildering amount of options and types of beads and medals and so forth. I didn’t know what I’d want or not. I made a tentative design, just for grins, and the thing wound up costing (theoretically) around $200!!!
They gave us inexpensive plastic Rosaries in RCIA, but they may prove about as sturdy as Mardi Gras beads. I’d like to buy some beads of my own, and have looked at a couple Catholic stores, but I haven’t a clue what to get. (Of course, I wouldn’t be too surprised if people give me a few at my Confirmation.)
Any enlightenment in any of these areas would be appreciated.
