I have almost always had trouble praying the rosary like you. I found that if I just try and concentrate on what I say that was ok for the meditation. In recent years I found the perfect solution- my ipod or a cd. I just listen and offer that as my rosary. I just try and make an effort to concentrate a bit on what I say vocally or mentally. Everyone is different but this worked for me and I love the rosary when I do it this way. It’s very relaxing and often brings a lot of peace and joy even if I don’t feel well. Maybe it’ll work for you? God bless youThank you for telling me your experience.
I want to pray the Rosary everyday, but I have had some kind of mental block. Sadly, I have the trouble to concentrate during the prayer. I usually have a guilt and irate feeling after I have prayed the Rosary, because I feel that I have not prayed well enough and it seems to me that my praying the Rosary is futile. It feel that Jesus and the Holy Mother seem to be displeased with me. Maybe I’m a perfectionist. I get miserable. That’s how I feel. So I’m reluctant to pray the Rosary.
Shall I “force” myself to pray the Rosary or wait until I get the “mood” to pray?
