I have been trying to pray the rosary daily, although I haven’t been doing that great lately. I am a stay at home mom expecting baby #7 in March. My oldest 3 kids are in school during the day so it is just me and the 3 little ones at home. I have a rosary app on my phone that I like to use. My problem is that I really don’t have 20 minutes of uninterrupted time so I might listen to the app while I am exercising or doing the laundry or cleaning the kitchen. However, I don’t always feel like I am really meditating on the mysteries like I should, and I might finish the whole thing with my mind elsewhere. I feel that if I could just sit down and really focus, I would get more benefit out of it, but that is really hard to do right now. I always have something else that needs to be done!! Any ideas to help me with this devotion?

There is no rule that says you can’t break it up and say it one decade at a time throughout to course of the day.
 
You are doing great!!! keep praying the rosary as the best you can now.
God knows:thumbsup:
 
Im a mum of 8 and I do the same as you- but i write a letter to Mary and all the angels and saints and I pour my heart out with what I think and all my intentions. It does end up looking like a lovely letter to a very dear mother. I put it on top of my cd player and play the Rosary cd for 1 and half hours while I go about my work. I never really lose attention but I have experienced that all my thoughts and reflections during those times are changed…and I am changing.its the best I can do at the moment.

Hello Cathmomof6,

Unless if you are less focused in praying, you can also receive the benefits from it.
