You might consider the Seven Sorrows Rosary.

I can also heartily recommend the Rosary CD set with Fr. Benedict Groeschel (†) his reflections are inspiring, profound, deeply spiritual.
 
Did you all have your eyes shut including the driver?

That’s how I pray the rosary, I imagine the mysteries with closed eyes, my imaginings are animated, which is why I said I’d soon be part of the landscape, I thought that didn’t need to be stated?
 
I am still at “Mary goes to visit Elisabeth” and have been for the past three years or so. The Magnificat is sure powerful and lovely to sing! Figured out I have learnt most of it in Latin, too. And that is only because our cantor loves to sing it 😅 and does so beautifully.

I agree with your priest. We will know when we are ready to move on. For over a year I read Ps 139 every Sunday evening before going to bed.

That one is a bit of a stumbling block for me always in the joyful mysteries, sort of. I always think of how anxious I would be when Jesus was lost. 🤔 Then of course, I’d be happy to find Him, sure! But mostly relieved.

(mia Culpa, I have digressed.)

I agree since this is also one of the Seven Sorrows!
 
When I first started praying the rosary it was during Lent last year so every day I prayed the sorrowful mysteries. I recommend doing that starting out. I also used a little blue booklet that contains paintings of each of the mysteries. I do not use the booklet as much anymore but I still see those paintings in my mind when I contemplate the mysteries and they tend to come alive in my imagination. So a visual aid is very helpful.

I don’t think we ever went for a drive where Mom didn’t bring out her rosary and we all prayed. We did a lot of touring vacations and it’s what we did first thing in the morning getting in the car and again when we got back in the car after lunch.

Father Peyton, the “Rosary Priest”, was also famous for this from what I read. Another priest gave an interview that said if you were traveling anywhere in the car with Fr. Peyton you knew you were going to be praying the Rosary on the way and not just 5 decades of it either.

My own mother did not pray it while driving, partly because she was not that comfortable as a driver, but would carry it around and whenever she had to stop to wait for someone she was picking up to get out of school or work, or had some other situation where she needed to park for a while, she’d say some of the rosary in the stopped car.
