This isn’t about glow in the dark rosaries.

In light of the luminous mysteries do standard Dominican rosaries continue to have 15-decades? Or has it been expanded to 20-decades?

I pickked up a 20 decade wood bead rosary. Sorry, forgot what web site. Try to google on “20 decade rosary” and see what crops up. I have not been able to find time to do the full 20 at one sitting. It takes me well over 30 mintes to do five, so that would be a 2 hour committment. With three cats constantly demanding attention. :rolleyes:
 
half an hour? I can do five in just over 20 minutes or so (still, I couldn’t pray the Rosary for even 80 minutes at a stretch I don’t think)
 
20 minutes really isn’t much less than 30.

I’m aware you can buy a 20-decade rosary, but what are the Domincans using now?

Well, I guess I am a bit slow. I am reluctant to rush through the Hail Marys. I need to pace myself myself and go slowly so as to be able to contemplate the mysteries. I need a LOT more practice. :o

No no, don’t rush - enjoy!!! It’s hardly a race.

the last time I saw a Domnican 15-decade rosary was attached to the habit of the Dominican nuns at my school 40 years ago, shortly before they went to business suits, short veils, and pocket rosaries.

The standard rosary sold in most religious gifts stores for personal devotion has 5 decades. Just keep praying around the loop as long as you need to. don’t we have a smiley “bite your tongue, annie”?
 
I’m real short, so are an awful lot of the nuns I’ve known for some reason.

Somehow I envision a 20-decade Rosary being long enough on most of 'em to drag on the ground, hence the pocket ones (very nifty - I use a rosary ring meself).

Thank you. I have no intention of rushing. Speed may or may not come in the future. But I am finding this daily prayer on the rosary to be a very calming and spiritual experience. Being done after midnight, shortly ater I get home, it seems to help me to unwind and sleep better. And I get warm fuzzies about trying to help The Church Suffering, even if I have no ideas how effective the prayers of a unconfirmmed RCIA Candidate.

Now, how to taech the cats that the dangly beads and cross are not a cat toy?

Please be assured that your prayers are heard and effective!

God bless…

Praying the Rosary is the “Pause That Refreshes”…

I started a new thread … Good Advertising Slogans – Better Fit to Promote the Rosary
