Young Catholics are returning to the traditional rosary as they react to 'technological advances', event organiser says

“Professor Stephen Bullivant of St Mary’s University, said the rosary had been in decline but ‘never completely disappeared.’”

“Its rediscovery in recent years, especially among younger Catholics who were never brought up with it, is an encouraging sign," he said.

Tomorrow is the big Rosary event in England. I hope it is a success!

 

[HolySpirit]

In my experience, praying the rosary is growing exponentially.

People who pray the rosary are passing it on.

(As it should be.)

Traditional rosary as compared to. ?

Traditional rosary as compared to. ?

Yeah…my question too.

 

[Roseeurekacross]

Yes, young people have the usual Rosary here, Hmmm

 

[semper_catholicus]

Hmmmm. I wonder why the Rosary was “in decline” in the first place.

Teens are finding tradition and it’s great!

 

[HolySpirit]

There is the 7 Sorrows Servite rosary and the Franciscan Crown rosary.

I doubt these are the rosaries the young people are picking up.

Thanks for the reminder. I think I promised to pray in solidarity with that from USA.

I don’t much care for the sentence at the end of the article.

 

[Roseeurekacross]

Perhaps it means without the luminous decades?

 

[HolySpirit]

Its possible. I’m not sure exactly what it means.

Personally, I like the luminous mysteries. For me, they are the most natural for meditation.

It could be due to not saying them twice per week, but I always feel like I get the most out of them. (Of course, my adoration hour at a perpetual adoration chapel is on Thursday.) I usually stay there for an hour and half to two hours. Typically, I do the rosary and the divine mercy chaplet there. That might have something to do with it.)

 

[Roseeurekacross]

I love them too.

Traditional rosary as compared to. ?

Maybe it means the real beads and not an app on a phone? (technological advances?)

 

[Elf01]

I suspect so. The Lord makes it very easy to pray when you are in His presence.
