Hi.
I’m a Protestant, but have started to pray the Rosary: I love it. I never feel closer to Jesus than when I’m praying it. I’d love to hear from Catholics about how you pray it, and why you love it. I have made some changes to the Rosary though, which I’d like to share:
After each decade, I pray the second verse of the Te Deum on the ‘large bead’. (I still feel uneasy with the Hail Holy Queen). I don’t know if the Te Deum is in the Missal (we Anglicans use it rgularly) so here is the second verse:
You are the King of Glory, O Christ!
You are the everlasting Son of the Father.
When you took our flesh to redeem mankind,
You humbly chose the Virgin’s womb;
You overcame the sting of death
And opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers;
You are seated at the right hand of God
In the glory of the Father.
We believe you will come to be our Judge;
Come then Lord and help your people,
Whom you have redeemed by Your precious Blood…
(Here I add special request)
Bring us with all Your saints to Your eternal kingdom. Amen.
Are Catholics free to ‘meddle’ with the rosary? Do any of you do it?
God bless, TP
