I marked sometimes. Though I used to pray the rosary every day, my shifts have been getting moved around at work and I do not always have the actual strength to pray it the way we should. Weekends I do. I also used to pray the entire rosary every Sunday after Holy Mass.
 
I voted everyday, even though on particularly busy days I tend to pray it at night and fell asleep on my rosary before I am done. When I can, I prefer praying while I walk or on public transportation.

I sometimes go for walks at night, this has been my habit since I was a teenager. When I lived in town, I had people following me, and I had a Facebook at the time. Apparently the community watch thought I was carrying a large chain. Which is ridiculous, because the rosary
, while a chain Rosary, is not very big. I do like to pray my rosary when I walk, but I have a fairly big yard to walk in. I live out in the country now, so it’s not really that big of a deal anymore. I understand that I live in a place where Catholics are by far a minority, but I can’t imagine none of these folks knowing what a rosary is.
 
😶 I pray almost everyday all the mysteries. Why? It is a secret.

It kind of amazes me that folks pray their rosaries while driving, walking & doing other stuff!

I’m sure it’s because I’m still re-learning it all, but I need a quiet space where I can focus. I think I’d walk into the wall or trip over a log if tried to do both!

Looking forward to the day that I remember enough of it to pray while I’m out & about!
 
A “short” history about the Rosary and its power.

It’s worth the time to listen to it.

 
Thank you for posting this video. He is a compelling speaker, for sure. The Ted Bundy piece is a chilling detail that I had not heard about.

It’s fair to say that I never felt that I did the rosary correctly, for in all my early years of catholic education, I was never taught how to pray a rosary… I got many as gifts and always had one nearby… but I never knew if I was doing it “right” - when I stopped attending church, I actually felt a relief, that I could now pray on my rosaries (and various chaplets) without fear of doing them wrong. It sounds strange, because I stopped trying to conform to something that I didn’t really understand (and felt the need to begin exploring it for myself) - so I stopped “doing” the rosary upon leaving the church, but then started exploring it. (I’m having a hard time actually articulating this, lol…)

This age of information, where we can pray with an app, has shown me that there are a lot of “right” ways.

I have been reading all sorts of things about rosaries (and prayer beads) lately. It’s amazing at just how many different prayers have been adapted to various numbers of decades on the beads themselves. And it seems that there is an explosion of creative options when choosing a personal set.

So, how important is it that the beads be blessed? I read somewhere that blessings may not be purchased, (so blessed beads can’t be bought), but a rosary can be purchased, then blessed before shipped - like those sold by the Vatican online shop.

I know that one does not need a set of beads to pray, yet there is something more that seems to happen when holding them with the intent to pray … so how important is it that they actually be blessed?

I am not intending to derail the poll thread … please direct me elsewhere if this isn’t the right place to ask.
