I understand that the Rosary originally developed as a way for the common people to pray along with the Liturgy of the Hours. Just about anyone could say a rosary but most people didn’t have access to the prayers and readings for the Liturgy of the Hours.
Today, many Catholics do have prayer books and can pray Liturgy of the Hours. Assuming time is not an issue, then is there any preference as to whether an individual should pray the Liturgy of the Hours or the Rosary? Is it ‘redundant’ to pray both in a given day? Or have both forms of prayer become sufficiently distinct that it doesn’t make sense to compare them?
