Issues praying the rosary

[Bill6]

Hello friend, I would suggest to persevere. I don’t know if you know this, but you can offer the Rosary or individual decades of the Rosary for specific intentions every time you pray. Pray that God may lead you to Truth and help you to pray unceasingly. I have started to ask God to help me and family pray unceasingly when I pray the Rosary. It has helped me to focus more on prayer. One suggestion I have is to imagine that you are present in the Mysteries. Looking at Catholic paintings of the Myesteries before praying the Rosary is also helpful to establish a mental picture. Maybe try looking at different depictions of the same Mystery or look at some Eastern Catholic art and some Latin Catholic art to see the different depictions.

God bless you and Mary keep you

what i found helps is a app called Halo, there is a free version that has some limitations however you can also go with the pay month to month or yearly (Sorry don’t recall the price) Prays along with you. I know I find it helpful to have someone guide me in prayer at times, also includes station of the cross

and don’t give up, you might find this video by Fr Mike re dryness in prayer and distraction Dryness in prayer

Youtube has many “follow along” rosary readings. “TheCatholicCrusade” is my current go-to. They have all the mysteries, and it’s just one man and woman who make the videos. Rosary is pictured around an image of the mystery, and all prayers are pictured to read along. Each progression, another “bead” lights up. (I used to get lost on the “hail holy queen” bit, and this helped.). Also, they don’t get from the sign of the cross, to the final amen in three minutes. Comfortable pace.
