Can find instructions in the Missal and most prayer books. Can also find links online. The prayers you need to know are : Lords prayer, hail Mary, glory be, and apostles creed.

There is an app for that! I have used the iRosary app and it is pretty neat. It explains everything, has nice pictures to meditate on and I think you can even choose your own virtual beads.

Don’t think that is valid

Don’t think that is valid

Ok. Well praying the Rosary the normal way was what I had in mind. I don’t think using an app is right to pray the Rosary

There’s many resources available on it. Many sites have links to the mysteries and how to pray the rosary. But if you want advice on how to mediate on the rosary, the secrets of the rosary by St. Louis D’Montfort is a great read! It discusses the origin of the rosary with St Dominic, Blessed Alan D’Laroche and much more. He has a method of praying the rosary that helps you keep focus on the mystery you’re meditating on. There are also many resources for praying the rosary with scripture. You can try googling “scriptural rosary”. I hope this helps

Try praying it as a group with your parish. Some parishes do the rosary before morning mass on the weekends

A sincere prayer is always “valid”. However, you’re supposed to hold the Rosary if you can, or if your hands are busy driving or doing work, you should have the Rosary on your person. This used to be a condition to get the indulgence associated with the Rosary.

When I wanted to say a Rosary and didn’t have one handy, I’ve just used my fingers. Many times. An app is like that.
