Do you carry a set of rosary beads with you at all
times?
  • Always! I feel naked leaving home without them!
  • Sometimes. I’ll take them if I think I may be using them.
  • Never! The Rosary just isn’t my thing.
  • Other. Explain below. (example: well I do have that “emergency set” hanging from my rear view mirror.)

I have always carried a set, even when I was a self professed pagan, I’d have a set in my purse or car. I believe in the rosary and the power of the Blessed Mother. It’s the one thing I kept and never doubted.
 
Well there’s one next to my recliner and one in my car. Does that count? I have a one and a two decade bracelet that I wear often but carrying one all the time would mean putting it into the black hole that is my purse. Not wise for me.
 
The few times I don’t have them is always when the priest or someone decides we will now pray the Rosary.
I keep an emergency one in the car for that, but almost always I wear a Rosary around so I can hopefully get a Rosary and Divine Mercy in while I drive.
 
Somewhere between Always and Most of the time. There’s one in my purse and one in each of my winter coats; the goodish one and the scruffy one. Coats that is, not Rosaries. 🙂
 
I thought that too when I started carrying… but St. Anthony loves Our Lady and helps me out 😃

Actually there is almost no place around me where there isn’t a rosary; one in each room, in the hallways upstairs and down, on the porch, a couple in my purse, a couple in my sweater, a couple in my coats, and many special ones for special uses (like my grandmother’s which is carried at funerals).
 
Sometimes in the morning, I take my Rosary with me as I take a walk before going to my job.
 
I try to have my Rosary with me when I am at school. So I put sometimes
 
The few times I don’t carry mine, I find myself missing them.
 
I keep mine in a leather pouch in a side pocket. I wear cargo pants most of the time, so it works for me. I can see where if I were wearing regular jeans or dress psnts, it might not be so easy.

Always. I keep a Rosary in my truck in case I ever forget to grab my favorite one on the way out the door.
 
That’s a good idea. I’d feel more comfortable carrying a rosary in a pouch than without any protection. 😀
 
I voted other because the option for never included “it’s not my thing”. So…it can’t be “my thing” unless I take it everywhere?

I honestly don’t understand why anyone would take a rosary around everywhere with them. Maybe I can get some insight from this thread.

I never considered that. I should have made the option “Carrying them around everywhere with me is not my thing”. I still would have needed an option for those who don’t pray the rosary at all. I guess I didn’t think it out all the way.

I carry mine all the time out of habit. When I started getting back into my faith, I would drop by the Adoration chapel whenever the spirit moved me to. The first time I didn’t have my rosary with me. The secretary in the church office gave me a set of plastic beads with white string. You have probably seen the kind I am referring to. Even the cross is plastic. She told me to keep them. I still have those in my car for emergencies. My regular set I keep on my person just in case. I feel strange when I don’t them with me.

When my wife and I go out somewhere, we ask each other “got your rosary?”

Whenever I wear my medal and crucifix, they get wrapped up with each other.
