Rosary Novena Questions

[Xandria]

I would like to start praying the 54 days rosary novena. Is it okay to pray the rosaries along with a recording when doing this and/or break them up in decades during the day? I know that normally it is but I’m not sure if it also applies to the novena.

I would think that would be fine, as long as your mind and heart are engaged in the process.

I hope so. That my mind and heart are engaged in the process is a given but of course doing it the way I described is easier and I’m worried that my effort won’t be enough. But doing it another way would overwhelm me at this point.

God fully understands. I promise you. I usually start my Rosary as soon as I wake up in the morning. I’ll say a decade just laying there, then get up and start getting ready for work. I say it during that time, too, usually another decade or two. Then, I fix lunch and breakfast for my son, eat breakfast myself, then drive to work and finish the rest of the Rosary.

I also have Rosary on CD if I want to do it that way. If you need an .MP3 to listen to or burn to a CD with the Rosary, you can download it (for free, of course) from the following link:

Also has the 15 Promises of the Rosary. Very comforting.

If anyone has “Mother Angelica’s Devotions”, she also has excellent meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary.

I am in the middle of a rosary novena right now and I use the recording sometimes ( the one from the Mary Foundation), because it helps to keep my mind focused. I would feel like I was not praying the rosary if I broke the decades up during the day, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with doing that.
