So I have my Rosary I got from the Knights of Columbus, I want to hang it in my Truck but it’s long the crucifix touches my radio. I was wondering if any body had any suggestions about hanging it from the mirror. Right now it’s on the top storage place on the dash board,but I feel kind of disrespectful leaving it like that. Is there like shorter rosaries made to hang form your mirrors?
 
Wrap it around twice (ie, there would be 2 loops hanging down, but they’d be half as long, obviously). 🙂

There are some places where it is illegal to have things hanging from your rear-view mirror. Law enforcement officials think it is a distraction. There was a recent article in the “Chicago Tribune” where in some Chicago area suburbs police have ticketed people for having objects hanging from their car mirrors.
 
Go to Etsy.com and put in traffic rosary, it’s a very tiny rosary that has 3 beads and a crucifix. You can say 3 Hail Mary’s or and Our Father, a Hail Mary and a Glory Be whilst waiting at a traffic light.
There are also 1 or 2 decade rosaries that have a hook and you can put it on your rear view mirror. I have one of those too.
I also keep a full size cord rosary in my cup holder on the console of my car and if I’m going anywhere where it takes 20 minutes or longer, I say a rosary with that.
And yes, I pray while I drive and yes, I still keep both hands on the wheel. 🙂

I have a metal rosary that is a small circle with ten “balls” on it and a cross at the end of the circle. So one can do the rosary or divine mercy chaplet while driving It is about twice as large as a ring.

Yeah I have one of those. I wasn’t sure if you can do a full rosary on that. I’m not in my truck for more than 15 minutes on each trip really.
 
When I first began putting a rosary on my rear view mirror, I had problems with breakage. I found a shorter, although still complete, wooden rosary. I put this rosary on the mirror. I kept a different rosary in my glove compartment that I actually used.

You can you just start at the crucifix with the Creed, The Our Father, the Three Hail Maries, and the Gloria, then before the first decade announce it and then count each “ball” as a Hail Mary. Go all the way around to the crucifix and start over with the second decade etc. It is a bit more challenging than with a regular corded rosary but it can be done:shrug:
