Parying the Rosary

[jasonsdec77]

I’m kind of new at praying the Rosary but I found some good online help. But tell me what happens when we pray the rosary? I mean, we offer out intentions before we pray the rosary.

And how do we know when God answers/is answering our prayers/our prayer intentions???

Thanks…

When we pray the Rosary, we are praying the prayer of the Gospel. Keep in mind that only recently in history have a majority of adults been literate. Before that, the vast majority of people could neither read nor write. So, learning the highlights of the Gospel could be easily accomplished by learning to pray the Rosary.

God always answers our prayers, most often by action or inaction. Sometimes the answer is, “Yes.” Sometimes it is, “No.” And sometimes it is, “Not right now.” But He hears all of our prayers. And our prayers are as effective as our disposition towards God. Same as receiving the Holy Eucharist. Some people are deeply affected; some seem not to be affected much at all. It depends on the disposition of the person receiving.

Here’s a good free audio series on the Rosary by Fr. John Corapi:

When you pray the rosary you can ask for intentions at any time. God is infinite, he is outside of time, so you can ask your intentions before during or after the rosary. Some people will ask an intention at the beginning of each decade. It is how ever want to do it.

The important thing is that you are spending time with our Lord. Our Lady of Fatima asks that we pray the rosary everyday for peace in our world. So pray it as often as you can.

I find it hard to pray the Rosary with different words on the lips then think certain other things in the mind. Can I just imagine and contemplate on the mental pictures of the stories instead?

I say the Rosary silently, by myself early in the morning. It makes me feel almost like the Apostles felt during the transfiguration. I´m not going to apologize for this. I will apologize for not saying it with my wife or her friends when they do the novena. No matter how we pray the Rosary it´s that we´re praying that counts. Keep it up. I used to never pray the Rosary. Now I feel empty when I don´t. God bless:thumbsup:
