A while ago I started a similar poll. Then, I just prayed the Rosary once a week.
However, during Lenten seasons, I like to acquire a new pious habit. As a lapsed Catholic for many years, it was during Lent that we started praying before meals as a family since. This past Lent, I decided to start praying the Rosary daily. And blessed be God I have since.
I have a sketchy record though. Over a decade ago I’d pray what I thought was the Rosary (just the decades, without announcing the misteries). When I learned to pray it, I went astray. Coming back to the Church again, after praying daily for a while, I added a decade. Eventually, I figured that I should pray the Rosary properly, at least weekly, as I said above.
The Rosary is not more popular because many people see it just as a repetitive prayer. Its meditative aspects should be made explicit and emphasized so that others may find the beauty of getting closer to Jesus through His Mother, Our Mother Mary.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
