Questions about the rosary:
  1. Where does everyone pray, when they pray the rosary?
I prefer praying it during Adoration or before Mass. Sometimes I get some of it prayed while waiting to go to Communion and after Communion.
  1. What kind of rosaries does everyone have?
I have three, (possibly 4 – I seemed to have lost one during our last move but I’m hoping to find it). Of the three, two are clear, AB beads, silver crucifix and the other
is a rose scented with reddish beads a friend gave me from her trip to Rome.
 
  1. Usually just before bed, kneeling. Sometimes at work, at my desk I listen to a CD.
  2. Also several. My favorite is cheap plastic, but pretty. Blue. I also have one of sandalwood. Smells nice.
 
My parish has communal rosary before Mass. I definitely do not pray the rosary during Mass.
I carry a rosary in the passbook where I keep my cellphone. I also have a twine rosary that the priest who acted as spiritual director when I made Cursillo made for each one of us. It’s nice because I can wear it around my neck without worry that it might break.
I have a prayer corner in my bedroom where I pray the rosary.
I have also prayed the rosary while walking.
My overseas parish has a grotto where many people gather to pray the rosary.
 
Pretty much anywhere I wont be distracted. Walking and sitting outside when the weather is nice. For the first 8 days of Nov you can gain an indulgence for saying prayers (Rosary) in a cemetery…plus the usual conditions apply.
 
I’ve been praying the Rosary in my office at the end of the day, after the support staff has gone home and things tend to be quiet. (Although I’m occasionally interrupted by a phone call.) I find it’s easier to do so there than at home. I like to look at the sculptures in the Rosary Garden shown at the website for the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa:

I have just one rosary, an olivewood one that I bought through Amazon.
 
Kneeling at the side of mu bed, every night.

I have a nice black Rosary.

I used to wake up early every morning and sit on the front porch to pray the rosary as the sun was rising. It was peaceful and beautiful and really helped me to take in all of the beauty that God gives us each morning. I also pray, kneeling, by my bedside before bed each night. I always carry a rosary with me because sometimes I pray it during long car rides and at Adoration as well.

My very favorite rosary is one that a dear friend made for me. Nothing fancy, but it’s the thought and love behind it that makes it special to me. 🙂
