I have a confession to make. I got my first rosary almost five months ago, and I have been praying it sans Mysteries that whole time - at first because I didn’t know how, but later because I just couldn’t make myself memorise them, and it seemed wrong somehow to pray the rosary while holding open a booklet of the Mysteries in one hand. :rolleyes:

Well, I recently read St. Louis de Montfort’s Secret of the Rosary, and there was a particular passage that spurred me to pray my rosary tonight with the Mysteries. I got out my little prayer card and stuck it up on the wall in front of me, so I could just glance at it between decades. The experience was entirely different - I had this vague idea of the Mysteries as just something to think about during the Ave Marias, but I was literally brought to tears meditating on Christ’s agony and crucifixion. It was so powerful; I had no idea what I was missing!

I’ve liked and prayed the rosary for a long time, but never before has it had such a profound effect on me. Please pray for me as I continue to build my Catholic identity. Things like this remind me why I choose to be a part of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church - and to pray for my friends and family who haven’t yet taken the plunge! Our faith is so rich and our prayers so powerful! Dominus vobiscum!
 
Wow! Thank you for sharing. Praying the rosary can be an undescribable feel good feeling. I will keep you in my prayers for sure 👍
 
The Sorrowful Mysteries does that to me. Meditating on the Passion is awesome. All the Mysteries are soul moving. The Joyful Mysteries bring a smile, and closer to Mary. The Glorious Mysteries bring a happy weeping. The Luminous Mysteries have me go WOW!

I Love The Rosary TOO!

Thank You!

Thank Mary!
 
There is a web site called virtual rosary that has scripture verses and the photos to go with each mystery to meditate on. My computer prompts me every morning. I have recently begun to pray this on a regular basis and it is fast becoming something I feel like I must do everyday…and I love it.
 
Hi Matthew, thanks so very much for sharing your growing love of the Rosary.
It is a wonderful, holy, sacred and spritually POWERFUL devotion,
a devotion/meditation/prayer that God, through Mary’s intercession,
has enriched with INCREDIBLY EFFICIACIOUS POWER to help accomplish the things we need and ask for in these troubling times, spiritual, moral, financial, whatever,
and that according to Sister Lucia, who knew Mary personally.

I like all the mysteries,
but the LUMINOUS mysteries are my absolute favorites now.
THE WEDDING AT CANA and THE TRANSFIGURATION are
particularly inspiring and powerful to me.

God bless you and pray your rosary several times a day!!!
God bless,
Jaypeeto4

God bless you for sharing your private experience yet profound message concerning the Rosary. Yes, I love Praying the Rosary as I love Our Blessed Mother, for she is the one who leads me and many to her Most Precious Son, Jesus Christ.

I have a few “confessions” to make as well.
  1. I never really Prayed the Rosary devoutly until I first discoverd how gravely ill my (maternal) Grandmother was at the time. I remember being in a hospital chapel, clencing my Rosary, asking Our Lady and Our Lord to please heal my Grandmother. We were blessed to have my Grandma for a few more years…Sadly, she passed away on June. 13th, 2010 the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua. Now don’t get me wrong I have Prayed the Rosary since I was a child and before Mass, etc.
  2. I never really knew how to Pray the Rosary properly until 6 or 7 years ago when I purchased a Rosary booklet and The Holy Rosary for Children
A photo of the Rosary booklet can be seen on the following website

mcssl.com/store/st-augustine-catholic-shop/pray-the-rosary-booklet

A photo of the booklet of The Holy Rosary for Children can be seen on the following website:

aquinasandmore.com/catholic-books-gifts/catholic-prayer-books-for-children/category/53
  • Please take note that I am not trying to sell or promote the following booklets, books, or websites I just wanted to “share” the pictures.*
  1. I used to work in a very stessful and stess-filled environment not only was work stressful at the time many other things took a toll on me as well. I would Pray the Rosary before work and after work.
I think if it wasn’t for Praying the Rosary I probably would have ended up absolutley insane.
  1. I was blessed to receive that book “The Secrets of the Rosary” for a donation at a Marian Shrine but the “confession” is I haven’t read it yet.

I LOVE the ROSARY TOO. You have no idea how much I love our Blessed Mother Mary and how thankful I am to her. Pray it everyday and you will have a special protection.

Here are 3 Links I would like to share with you. Please click:

youtube.com/watch?v=DksaSqloTa0

This is a video about the power of the Rosary

comepraytherosary.org/

This is a website where people pray the Rosary 24/7 Live

ourladyswarriors.org/prayer/15promise.htm

And last these are the 15 promises from Our Lady to whoever prays the Rosary

I pray it everyday and hopefully I will do so for the rest of my life. It certainly has changed me and has gotten me closer to God.
 
I thought of a new idea for how I can more joyfully pray the Rosary for others. If you would like me to pray a Rosary for you or anyone else, check out this thread I just posted and message me or respond to that thread. forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?p=8593119#post8593119

I will keep your love for the Rosary in my heart as I pray to Our Blessed Mother for you and your continued growth in the faith.

God bless you!

I love the rosary too!
I feel like I actually get answers to things, and insights about things to do with my rosary “intentions”…like, whatever I am praying that rosary for. (I pray all my rosaries for world peace and increase in vocations, and a few other mainstays. But I also pray for something personal through the rosary. Something different every time.)

I have had some really powerful rosary sessions where I feel like I am actually being spoken to about my personal rosary intentions, in light of the mysteries that I am praying.

It is hard to put into words.

But it makes me cry.

And it makes me feel “mothered” and not alone. And like I have my questions answered. For good.

I keep a journal of all that I get out of these sessions, to refer back to.
It is all just so beautiful that it sounds nauseatingly hoakey trying to put it into words here. Sorry.

But I just wanted to TRY to put it into words and share.
Because WOW!
Thank you Mary. I love you.

blessedbyt God bless you for sharing your wonderful experiences with the Rosary and I think I understand what you mean by Praying the Rosary…There are somethings that I have a difficult time explaining or I feel as if I cannot explain them enough/clearly that I have experienced be it the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and Eucharistic Adoration these are beautiful and glorious gifts from Our Lord Jesus, Our Blessed Mother, Angels, Archangels, Saints, Blesseds, and so forth.

There are personal things that I have been going through and I will admit that seeing this particular thread in my email among many other things is a sign or even an answer to my Prayers.

etomaria Thanks be to God and Our Blessed Mother.
