Eastern Rosary?

[UnityofTrinity]

Does Eastern rosary have the same effect on one’s spirituality and on the soul’s in purgatory as the western rosary? Does the words of the Virgin Mary found in the Western’ aparition in regard of the rosary also in effect to this eastern rosary?

 

[ConstantineTG]

Are you talking about the chotki or prayer rope with the Jesus prayer?

Because some Eastern Christians both Catholic and Orthodox use the same Rosary and pray it the same way as Roman Catholics do. There are a number that has taken it as a private devotion.

it depends on what you mean as the Eastern Rosary…

if you mean the Eastern Hail Mary (I don’t think they have made a Rosary out of this prayer though), - it is still the Hail Mary and is always a powerful prayer.

if you mean the Jesus Prayer, that is no doubt a very powerful prayer as well, but I’d say it has more similarity to the Divine Mercy chaplet than the Rosary.

the particular Rosary promises apply to the Rosary itself, that is: the Hail Mary’s together with meditation on the life of Jesus and Mary. Other prayers are powerful too though… anything that is true and comes from God is helpful to us. Mary just obtained particular promises for the Rosary because the prayer is so pleasing to her.

God bless
