Question about praying the Rosary

[pgnat1]

Hi! Recently, I started to prioritize my day, and I have made a good amount of time for God. I now pray the Rosary every night around 9 o’clock… I have a question though. Since I am new to praying the Rosary, I watch a video on Youtube that corresponds with the Mystery for that particular day… Is this okay? I mean, is it still considered “praying” if I listen along and meditate while the people in the video are saying the Rosary? Usually, I try to pray along, but sometimes I get into deep meditation.

Here is the link for their Youtube channel - youtube.com/user/TheDivineTv

Thank you!

The rosary is a Christ centered meditative prayer. If hearing hail Mary’s get you in that state great. If saying them get you to that state, great.

Sure, ETWN also has Rosary prayers, as well as the Vatican Radio, and many other media However, if you are not praying the Rosary, you aren’t Usually, when a group of faithful pray, some parts are prayed by the leader, and others by the rest of the group. If the video has just one leader, then you may pray along. But if you are just listening to the prayer, I am not sure if it counts as actually praying.

Ps. another resource that actually gathers quite a few faithful from around the world is www.comepraytherosary.org/ (ex. right now 131 people are praying).

I have a number of CD’s that I listen to while I pray, and I also have some DVD’s that I can watch while I pray the rosary. The rosary is a private devotion and you can do it pretty much as you like, and what works for you.
Thanks for posting that link, I really do enjoy praying with someone, even if it’s VIA the computer, the tv or my CD player.
