Im so worried

[synlly]

Spoke with my fiance this afternoon about the month of the rosary and how i feel internal peace each time i prayed the rosary;he told me he does not feel spiritually fulfiled when he prays the rosary.he says its like he has nt prayed.He says it is not an obligation to pray the rosary daily;Is that true?He says he does not concentrate when it is repetitive prayers.I am worried because when we finally get married how are we going to be doing our devotion cos i believeso much in the rosary and its promises.Please pray for my fiance that may he have the zeal to honour our mother Mary through the rosary.

Don’t worry. It is a good idea, but not an obligation, to pray the rosary daily. If your fiance is not getting a great spiritual benefit out of it, maybe you could find a book or something that helps people pray it with more devotion. But when you’re married, you can find other things to pray together if you have to. But the best thing is to pray…

Dear Mary, Queen of Heaven, please petition your Son that synlly’s fiance wil be open to the great blessings in the Rosary. Help him to pray it with great devotion so that he can be led closer to your Son. Amen.

Praying the Rosary requires a high degree of concentration that is difficult to sustain. I honestly can’t pray the complete Rosary either. I learnt one could as well pray the Rosary over a peroid of time–say one decade per day or so.

It is true that the Rosary is not obligatory, but Our Lady did ask for us to say it - not under pain of sin, but to please her and honor her Son. Remind your fiance that prayer is not primarily about pleasing ourselves or feeling spiritually fulfilled, but about adoring God. Even if you are distracted the entire way through the Rosary it can still be pleasing to God
if you are trying to pay attention. Offer up the difficulty of praying the Rosary, instead of
looking for it to come easily. But do look for books (such as the Secret of the Rosary by St. Louis de Montfort) to help with your devotion.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Spoke .He says it is not an obligation to pray the rosary daily;Is that true?.

of course it is not obligatory to pray the rosary daily
people pray as they can, not everyone finds the rosary a fulfilling prayer as you do. they are free to pray any way they can, as long as they pray

this is certainly not a reason for worry. He is praying, that is all that should concern you. Rather than pray for God to make him pray the way you want, pray for God to help him pray the way God wants.

You and your fiance are in my prayers.

I do find The Chaplet of the Devine Mercy to be soothing, he might too.

I am praying for you and your fiance. My God bless both of you. I agree it is wonderful that he IS praying. I pray many different ways… sometimes like the Rosary or other devotions, but I also find that sometimes when I just have a conversation with God/Jesus it really helps me. I am glad that he is praying and will continue to pray for you both.

Once I have red something helped me. It took me few minutes to understand it.

A monk asked if was better quality or quantity. His superior asnwered. We can only put quantity in our prayers. Quality is given from the Lord.

Maybe your friend is in a battle with this concept. This concept is very difficult to understand from our modern culture point of view.

Hope it helps.

Pray for you and your fiance to be conforted and get an holy answer in your hearts.

Lord, please help Synlly’s fiance to stay concentrated on the mysteries when he prays the Rosary. May he pray the Rosary to please you and not give it up. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

 

[Paul_theApostle]

If he doesnt want to pray the rosary,you can still pray it yourself and offer the rosary/mysteries up for him as well

OUR FATHER

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be
Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done,
on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

GLORY BE

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Virgin Mary, Mother of God, please help Synlly’s fiance pray the rosary. Help him to see the benefits that you give to those who pray the rosary. †
