- "In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words." Matthew 6:7 (New American Bible, Revised Edition)
Does Jesus warn us against repetitive prayers? Does praying the rosary contradict the way Jesus asked us to pray? Why is the rosary even designed that way?
Whether you pray the rosary everyday or have never prayed it before, Fr. Mike has some insights from Jesus and his Church regarding repetition in prayer that will change the way you look at prayers like the rosary.

Father, Catholic content like yours, Bishop Robert Baron's, and Father Leo's make me grateful for UA-cam.
I’m a Protestant but, I’ve always admired Catholicism I’ve heard mass a few times the one thing I still think is cool is you can go to church everyday, most Protestant denominations unless it’s a potluck or a special baptism, we only get to go on Sunday so Godspeed y’all and keep the faith.
❤️
You are most welcome, there is so much more!❤❤❤
You can try to go to Holy Mass anytime you want.
@@gloriahancock998 God bless you, have an AWESOME day.
@@kimberlysmiley0033 Amen! “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20
Amen Father Mike! When I pray my daily Rosary, I feel so relaxed and at peace. I ask for the same thing: the strength to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and a heart overflowing with love, forgiveness, and peace for everyone I will come in contact with this day. I dearly love my Heavenly and holy family. Thank you for your phenomenal videos.
Oh I love the rosary! Each mystery is a meditation on various aspects of our Lord's life. Such a beautiful way to pray with Mary to grow closer to Jesus!
Yes, the Rosary is a meditation on the Life of Jesus which happens to include the Blessed Mother. Thank you Fr. Mike for explaining this. Your explanation makes the best sense. BTW, PLEASE wear Sunscreen, Keep yourself safe as you are always in my Prayers with all the clergy of the Church and our Pope Francis. May you ALWAYS be inspired and led by the Holy Spirit in all the Fine Details. 🙏✝️
Thank you for the explanation Fr. Mike
Thank you Father Mike, i always hear that from non-catholics. God bless you Father Mike! ✝️🛐❤️
Sadly some Catholics don't know their religion.
@@equine2020Very true.
With all things in God.
How committed are we too him.
More we are..the more we want to know.
AMEN
Same. Especially on social media sites where they start talking about The Blessed Mother and I find myself defending my Mother.
@@BenjiDiMaggiowhat utter nonsense you’ve come out with and satan has deceived you.
@@BenjiDiMaggio I highly doubt that you are Catholic.
Father Mike is such a great teacher! 👏🏽I’m enjoying my daily devotions in Hallow with Father Mike…thank you God for Father Mike and his guidance 🙏🏽
For someone who's struggle with distraction during prayers, rosary is a great spiritual exercise
I love the rosary! Especially in conjunction with Hallow!
Thanks for the clarification, Fr. Mike ❤
People sing a song over and over again like their favorite worship song. For me it’s the rosary that’s my favorite so I say it over and over. Ever since praying the rosary my spiritual life has improved greatly.
Mine also. When I feel uptight or upset about something, I say the rosary, and suddenly a peace and clarity comes over me. It's miraculous.
The Rosary is, more-a-less, a medieval prayer that was started by friars who didn't have a female presence in their lives - unlike most men who are married / in close contact (in chaste way with lots of women). There is merit in the Rosary for sure but only as an EXTRA to proper and loving and joyful devotion and prayer to God - both formal and informal. And we need to be aware of the dangers of popular Catholic piety that does not properly reflect the Magisterium or at least the spirit of.
It's obviously common sense that we should be focused on prayer and devotion to God. But if you don't believe me then just really read (and enjoy) The Catholic Catechism. I mean for example, it devotes a tonne of words to The Lord's Prayer in contrast to a passing reference to the Rosary. But that's just one of many ways in which The Catholic Catechism - or the spirit of - communicates the essential need to focus on God in our lives.
We are the Catholic Church. We're meant to be the leaders in Christianity and setting a proper example. Like Christ telling us that the most important prayer (the perfect prayer - the king of prayers) is the Lord's Prayer. I shouldn't have to defend the Lord's Prayer but it's incredible how much you have to in the Catholic Church compared to the Rosary (although not in our Magisterium which is PERFECT).
Lastly, we were made by God for God. We were not made by Mary for Mary. Jesus says, 'Love God and neighbour.' Mary is our neighbour - NOT Our God. And we're infinitely closer to God now (please God / thank God) than Mary (no-one is closer to us than God) thanks to Baptism and The Holy Spirit coming to dwell inside us and as Our Advocate (including in prayer - one of infinite things he helps us with).
And Mary wants us to focus on God - not her. She wants our devotion but in the context of due devotion to God. Mary can't shine a light on herself. But God can and does! It is God who shows us just how beautiful Mary really is. And our prayer to Mary is profoundly more powerful when we ensure that we focus - really focus - on God first. Lastly, maternal love is ultimately divine in nature. Mary was 100% created by God. God's greatest creation.
God bless
@@edm-london1660 I would argue Mary is infinitely closer to God than we are to God, considering she had God in her womb. Also every Catholic has venerated Mary the Theotokos since the time of Christ.
@@edm-london1660 So you're going against Church teaching? This is protestant arguments. So either you need to learn the True Church and hopefully you come more in line with Christ's teaching, or you're actually a protestant.
Mary intercedes for us and is the Queen of heaven.
I have seen that person here before, always attacking catholics in a harsh way
Thank you Father Mike. I pray you continue spreading God's word and the great news of his love to all with ears to listen.
Fr Mike, thank you for helping me with something i struggle with. When someone outside the Catholic faith criticizes our Beautiful Church, i get extremely angry and hateful. Youre teaching me how to defend our faith with love and scripture and truth
The Rosary comes directly from the Gospel of Luke. Dear Jesus please help my words to You be words of Love and Hope. Help me be consistent and concise. Thank you for the prayer of the Rosary. Help me to not Babble. Amen.
Thank you, Father Mike.
I didn’t even realize this was a concern. I am not Catholic, but I repeat myself in prayer quite often.
❤️
Protestants love making issues where there isn’t one
Yes, a big concern. Protestants and anti-Catholics call the rosary "vain repetition". But they don't read the next sentence, as Fr. Mike describes.
@@BenjiDiMaggio Yes, sadly I see too much of that happening as well. There is so much peace and good in praying the rosary, I get sad when I see some people abuse it. That should not influence us to stop tho. I have a beautiful framed photo in my house of Mary holding baby Jesus. They are together. As it should be.
The Rosary is a meditation in the life of Christ. What is your problem if they pray in front of Mary statue. You and your divisive group made the pastor remove the Mary state and now they Rosary group doesn't pray anymore. Maybe it's because of you. You are hurting people's devotion to Jesus Christ. You are the problem. Not them.
Thank you Father Mike for this today! I was just thinking about this topic today, as an x-Catholic friend, who now leans Protestant, called the rosary "vain repetition" when speaking to me. Now I know how to respond.
This is such great testimony!!! I could always tell you were a very talented Priest. But, wow, this video was just amazing! Good job, bro!!!
Always great listening to you, Father Mike. You are so interesting and clever. I'm glad you are speaking on this topic, because when I say the rosary daily, I feel like I'm babbling. You cleared this up for me here. Thank you! You're great.
When you're in emergency situation we can't even think how to pray in a proper way.. catholic used to pray the repetitive prayers exmp.. our father.. holy rosary and divine mercy .. all of that prayers are powerful...
Yes! GOD is GOOD.
Prayer to rosary is so good because we meditate on the life Jesus and I am humbled.
Always.
Because God is Good.
It truly is that simple.
Thankyou for the detailed insights Fr.Mike...🙏🙏🙏
You are the best Father Mike. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks, Fr Mike, for clarifying this for us. We don't always think through these ideas. God Bless. Claire.
Thank you 🙏 Father Mike
Beautifully said Father, thank you 🙏
I am a Protestant attending Catholic mass twice a week out of respect for my wife. I'm enjoying it quite a bit for all sorts of good reasons. However, I do find it difficult during the various prayers to understand what is being said as the priest is typically reciting prayers very quickly and with very little variation in tone and with very little if any emphasis on any word or phrase. At first I thought it might just be this particular priest that I was listening to, but in the last couple of years I think I've heard seven or eight different priests giving masses and I believe every single one of them spoke in this very fast unemphasised manner. It is also the case with the prayers that the congregation says together or in response. The pace is always hurried I join in on the Lord's prayer but it's difficult to keep up with everyone else. The creed is also spoken very quickly and various other prayers that I know are standard and named but I don't know the names of. Sometimes some priests seem to sort of sing part of a prayer and I like that as the singing seems to require better enunciation. I know the Lord hears us all, but, in that these prayers are said out loud and often as a congregation, I think there would be value if these were said in a way that it was easier for the ear and mind to discern the meaning.
There should be a book "Missel" in the pew that has the Hymns that are sung but also has a section where you should be able to follow along with the readings and prayers.
@smithterrielou you took the words out of my fingers.
I would recommend on UA-cam, Explaining the faith Father Chris Alar he's done probably 100 videos on a plethora of different topics. Im a cradle catholic and still learning from him. He's a great speaker. Funny and tells it like it is
I have to remind myself that my soul purpose is I'm there for the Holy Eucharist. ❤
Babbling like the pagans means for example meditating on meaningless sylables being repeated over and over again while believing that is your prayer to an idol or to the gods plural. We Christians including from the Roman Catholic worship rite believe that the only way to our father in heaven is through Jesus Christ. Praising the human mother of Jesus Christ who gave birth while still a virgin requires being humble enough to acknowledge in prayer that Jesus Christ is god made flesh through her.
"God is in heaven and you are on Earth, therefore let your words be few." -Ecclesiastes 5:2
That's the best way I've heard it explained, what do you Protestant listeners think about that? Does it make more sense now? I haven't heard it explained that way and that's so well put❤
My Father says to just think about the person you want to pray for and that's all you need to do. I use transcendental meditation to pray myself most of the time. I think Jesus might of been talking about people showing off praying excessively in some cases too. Imho, Jesus was all about praying on the down low if you catch my drift. Thanks! Be blessed!!
Perfect timing ❤
Thank you, Father!
The Bible DOES say “Don’t recite the same prater over and over as the heathen do, who think prayers are answer only by repeating them again and again” Mt 6:7-8. However, I think this refers to the repetition of empty words as opposed to repetition of a Hail Mary during the recitation of the Rosary, meant to help you meditate on the mystery you are praying. Also, by entering in this meditative state we allow the Holy Spirit to enter and move within us, producing the fruits of the HS, as opposed to just repeating thoughtless words. IMHO. Gob Bless
Ty for sharing 😃
I only started taking prayer a bit more serious a few months ago and to me, I’m terrible at it. I lose my thoughts, I don’t know what to say, I think I’m not praising Him enough, I repeat myself… I hope God doesn’t see me as a phony, because that’s how I see myself. I don’t want to be a fake.
I think it’s normal for thoughts to stray. When that happens to me, I say a Hail Mary. It doesn’t always work, but usually brings me back to my prayers
You can ask Him for help in prayer. Ask him for everything you need!
I pray my Hail Mary's in bed, in the dark, minutes before going to sleep.
Praise to you God and lord Jesus Christ😇🙏❤
For "Bible alone" folks: Psalm 136 is pretty darn repetitive.
Meditation on scripture. Beautiful
I think about the times when misbehaved students wrote on the blackboard, " I will pay attention in class" repeated 100 times. What did the teacher do everytime.....he/she would erase it as soon as class ended. Doesn't the Lord our God do the same with meaningless repeated words. He wants what is in the heart not repeated words....
My neighbor's way of communicating with me consists in repeating the same 5 sentences 50 times. It never works. Actually, I hide from him when he opens his mouth now.
Wonderful talk Father. Although that their real objection is most often more with respect to the need for penance or sacrifice. Acknowledging that would expose the lie of their belief system.
Prayer is a great time, no matter how as long as praying to Jesus or contemplating him in prayer.
I’m so lucky and happy to be Catholic!
If Jesus didn't want us to repeat prayers, he wouldn't have taught the Our Father.
well said father
My problem is my mind goes blank sometimes when I pray so rambling helps me jump start my brain back up in what I pray for.
The Rosary is the Bible on Beads! Our Lady of Fatima- PRAY FOR US ❤🙏🏻
As someone who's been looking into Catholicism, and has prayed the rosary many times, this one still gets me. The phrase "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do" is from the KJV. While I wouldn't suggest the KJV is more reliable than modern translations, in this case it seems to be a closer translation than the NAB as the Greek literally translates to "When you pray, use not useless repetition as the ones of (the) nations [i.e., heathens/pagans]: for they think that they shall be heard for the much saying of them." The phrasing "babbling like the pagans" seems to confuse the issue when that verse really is talking about repetition and not what we would think of today as babbling.
fr you are so good
Jesus did not condemn repeating prayers or using prayer beads like the rosary. He was condemning "babbling like the pagans" - the practice of the pagan religions to try to get the attention of their many gods through lengthy, repetitive prayers.
Jesus himself repeated prayers, such as in the Garden of Gethsemane, and as a Jew would have frequently prayed the Psalms, which involve repetition.
The pagan religions believed their gods were capricious and uncaring, so they had to try to appease them through elaborate rituals and incantations.
In contrast, Jesus teaches that we can approach God the Father directly, knowing that He loves us and wants our attention, not the other way around.
When Catholics pray the rosary, the goal is not to convince an indifferent God, but to meditate on the life of Jesus with the help of His mother Mary.
The rosary and other repeated prayers allow us to approach God as a loving Father, not as pagans trying to get the attention of uncaring deities.
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
On each Hail Mary and Our Father recitation, there is a deep conversation with God and with our Blessed Mother.
For instance, in the second Joyful Mystery, the Visitation of our Blessed Mother to her cousin Elizabeth.
We ask our Lady to visit us along with Her Son, our home, places, countries, churches, and any areas in our spiritual lives we need to most help with.
I mean, the list is endless.
We also meditate and contemplate the
Mysteries of our Lord.
Another example: we asked our Lord the Blood Which flew from His head Crowned with thorns to flow on aborted babies' Souls, in purgatory, in our wounds, etc.
The secret: stay still and stay focused.
I'm very confused about how it could be a repetition to anyone.
It's just unlimited how the Holy Spirit can inspire us.
Like many other prayers, the Holy Spirit is the One who inspired you on what to say during the recitation of the Holy Rosary.
Which is the importance of staying still, and calm and focusing our imagination and whole being on God, Blessed Mother, Saints, and the Heavenly Hosts.
It's a such Powerful Weapon because of how we pray for long periods of time although repeating the same prayer.
There are so many fruits from the recitation of the Holy Rosary.
Be still and have your mind & heart ❤ on God while praying it like any other prayers.
The Recitation of the Holy Rosary is everything to me.
If I accidentally leave it at home, I won’t be at ease until I go back to get it.
The Holy Rosary is my Heart❤️and never without it.
Always with me and it's my little companion 🌟.
Our minds and imaginations could wander if only we stay still and let the Holy Spirit🕊🕊🕊 lead us through the entire Holy Rosary or prayers.
I hope people learn how to say the Holy Rosary the right way and start to see the benefit of it! 🙏
I have no idea how doing so benefits me. Could you explain what those benefits are? If I knew what they were, I might better be able to tell if I was experiencing them.
@@markantonelli53
While any form of prayer is a response to God's invitation.
When you pray, you are inviting God into your souls and you become one with Him.
You open your heart ❤️ to Him about things that worried you, your concerns and joys etc.
In fact, you are giving your concern to God to work on your soul and on our Hearts ❤️ even if you don't see the benefits immediately.
We won't become spiritually mature in one day but it is a daily disposition and response to God's invitation.
It is a matter of the quality of the amount of time we spend with God whether is during the Holy Bible Reading, Holy Rosary, or sporadic gaze on Him during our busy day (work, car, crowd, bus etc), Angelus prayers etc.
and any form of prayer.
The more we spend time with Him, the more we know Him, the more we love ❤️ Him and eventually, we become more like Him.
@@JovaniF-fj3mc but God always ignores my invitation, so there’s no point continuing to offer it.
@@JovaniF-fj3mc opening my heart makes no sense because it was rejected when I did that. No point opening my heart to God when God doesn’t want it
@@markantonelli53 God is the one inviting each one of us into a prayer.
We often don’t attend to it. Please read very well.
I'm Anglican and the Rosary to us is needless repetition, except for the Anglicans that pray the Rosary then it's awesome, which is rarely the Anglicans who are Reformed, but this is also sometimes the case even though it's usually not. What kind of tea is everyone having this evening?
# Ask ascension presents, would really like a video on how to cope with loneliness, especially when it overwhelms you.
A lot of protestants say, "Just pray through Jesus". Y'all should know that Catholics do pray to God through Jesus. We also meditate on his life, through the rosary. It's not like we just sit around and say Hail Mary's and pray for intercession from saints all day. We also read the Bible, and every Mass is Christ centered with more read from the Bible than any protestant church I've gone to. We are encouraged to read the Bible and pray.
Also the ones that believe "faith alone", even the demons know that Christ is Lord. You still have to live out the Christian life. It's not a one and done sinners prayer. Believing is obviously important, but it's not all that you need for salvation.
You can pray to God through Jesus Christ alone...
Yes, of course, Amen! There is no condemnation in praying in communion with The Saints in Heaven! Holy Holy Holy Lord!
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone here in my Rosary! Happy Feast Day of Saint Gerard Majella (patron saint of pregnant women, childbirth, children, mothers, falsely accused people, good confessions, lay brothers, and unborn children). I prayed to Jesus for help with healing for those who lost the priceless precious gift of life, and I prayed for Jesus' help with protecting and defending the dignity of life from the moment of conception onward through the intercession of Saint Gerard Mejalla.
Bible verses bringing to mind the dignity of life-
Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. See, upon the palms of my hands I have engraved you; your walls are ever before me.
Psalm 34:19 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because I have rejected him. God does not see as a mortal, who sees the appearance. The Lord looks into the heart.
When Mother Mary was pregnant with Jesus, she went on an about eighty mile joyous journey to visit her cousin Saint Elizabeth (patron saint of expectant mothers and pregnant women) in her hour of need, Elizabeth said referencing her tiny child in her womb John the Baptist who was conceived when she was in old age:
Luke 1:41-45 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
Hope you have a light-filled peaceful joyful blessed day!
Me, I don't even lend them an ear any more. I want good debate not high-handed condemnation esp when based on pseudo facts. If you believe that I'm misguided, then your Christian approach to me cannot be derision, accusation etc. Either we discuss factually, lovingly or we don't. I've concluded a long time ago that most don't really want true discussion. Most are not even really interested in the safety of your soul. They just want to stroke their ego & religion condemnation is just another way to do so. Very sad. May we all be true in our search for The Truth, IJN.🙏 Love you Fr Mike. Ascension team, God bless you. ❣️
Amen.
Couldn't this ("babbling," "repeating") also refer to just saying "the words" from memorization without thinking about them or feeling them? Sometimes, when I pray, I must consciously slow myself down to consider what I'm saying or thinking. I remind myself that I need to understand and mean it with intention (as best as I am capable). It's not just to do it, to get through it, as if a chore or checking off a box.
Prayer from memory and out of obedience is great!
Amen 🙏
anything you do more than once can be a "vain" repetition. Its not really about the thing you are doing so much as the reason you are doing it, the attitude you are doing it with. If you are simply saying the rosary 25 times a day and never reflecting on the mysteries, and thinking that each time you do it earns you points with the Creator, then yes, the rosary can be a vain repetition. But by itself the rosary is simply a prayer that repeats certain lines, and this character alone does not make it "vain." I mean technically if you say the Our Father every Sunday its a repetition, and the Protestants do that (at least some of the older denominations do).
Fr mike has the most 4k looking face on youtube. What camera is this man using?
General Bible question. Why are the text of the Bible laid out in two columns, rather than in standard paragraphs?
βαττολογέω is the word in greek concerning “babbling”. Yes, it does mean to babble, but also to repeat the same thing over and over.
A bit of contention here. The prayer in the garden you mention is two separate prayers being separated by an action. Jesus had gotten up and gone back to his disciples and then returned and prayed nearly the same prayer asking that the coming cup be taken from him, it would be God’s will. It’s an unusual circumstance to say the least.
Descriptive passages don’t instruct us to do the same thing. Should we pray, get up and check on something and then go back and repeat our prayers because that is what Jesus did? After all, he was a good jew.
AMEN! ❤❤❤
Read the scripture, Matthew 6:5-13, read the entire chapter, the entire book!🩷
Mary literally appeared and said (I’m paraphrasing) PRAY THE DADGUM ROSARY
Dear Father Mike, loved to know your thoughts on Living in Divine Will……. Luisa Piccareta🙏
The Books of Heaven!
Very good but prayer doesn't help me, life gets worse and worse so my prayers must be making him angry or something?
Prayer doesn’t help me either. Life doesn’t get worse, it just doesn’t get better. My prayers are always ignored, so I try to limit the time that I spend praying.
Roman and Mark...Your prayers are not making God angry and are never ignored my dear ones, if done sincerely, of which I have no doubt. Perseverance is key. Perhaps start small, and build as you grow spiritually. Remember, while it is ok to pray for petitions, the main reasons for prayer are adoration, thanksgiving, and reparation. In your prayers, offer your suffering to Christ for others. We have no idea how much this redemptive suffering can help our brothers and sisters. Also, I would strongly encourage frequent reception of the Holy Sacraments, not just once a week. Regular confession, not just for grave sins, but for venial as well. Stay in a state of grace always and receive our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament of Holy Communion as often as you can. This will make you spiritually strong. I will pray for you as well. Things will get better. It is hard to believe, sometimes almost impossible when we are in such pain, but everything that happens to us, direct or passively, is the Divine Will of God and is for our eternal good. I love you, and much more importantly, Jesus and our Immaculate Mother love you more than we can comprehend in this earthly life. Be blessed my dear ones.
@@Lee-lc1iq I don’t ask God for anything anymore, because my requests are always ignored. Every day when I wake up I say “thank you God for this day.” Given that my prayers are always ignored, this small statement probably has not yet been heard
@@markantonelli53 Just a friendly question, did you already reflected if what you're asking is really good for you? Isnt there anything wrong going on with that, that you didnt have noticed?
God can hear every sound in the universe. Maybe you just don't understand what you're asking for
How should we interpret "All that is unseen, will be seen".
Is it k to pray in car or while walking
Absolutely. St. Paul tells us to "pray without ceasing". Its never not a good time to pray my dear one.
John 3:17 KJV "For GOD sent not HIS SON into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through HIM might be saved. 18 He that believes on HIM is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of GOD.
John 5:24 KJV "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears MY WORD, and believes on HIM that sent ME, has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
Romans 8:1 KJV "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in CHRIST JESUS who walk not after the flesh but after the SPIRIT."
Note: A true believer is forgiven of all sin, therefore, is not condemned, has everlasting life, and exhibits the fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT by not walking after the flesh but after the SPIRIT.
only a Christian understands how far we are from God..
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

God never condemns short prayers, in fact when Jesus was raising Lazarus from the dead what did he say? ' Lazarus come out' three words !
MARK 12 V 40 talking about the Pharisees ' and for a show they make lengthy prayers'
it is not about long prayers, it's about who you are praying to it's about him, not us.
GALATIANS 4 47V6 'because you are his sons, God sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, the spirit who calls out ABBA FATHER. Don't see any saints or Mother in that statement.
ROMANS 8V15 'the spirit you have received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again, rather the spirit you received bought about your adoption to SONSHIP and by him we cry Abba father' nope none there either.
Slavish repetition is not needed to get God's attention, many words do not compel God to act, he wants the spirit of sonship, not slavery.
I've never hear the word pagans pronounced like that!🤔
I came here to find this comment. I can't believe yours is the only one!😂

5:18 “Those extra mysteries…the Luminous Mysteries” ? that sounds a little disrespectful? Is there a problem?
I highly doubt it, given that Fr. Mike is a huge admirer of Pope St. John Paul II. Two things: one, they ARE "extra," in the sense that the other mysteries have been prayed for centuries and the Luminous set was added what, twenty or thirty years ago? Two, Fr. Mike has a playful way of speaking at times. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Peace.
The bible says pray Often!

Rosarys are words Sacred declares to Saint Holy Blessed Virgin Mommy Mary!
But why say the same thing 50-80 times! 🙄 God heard the first time!😂
Ok, so I tried praying the rosary, and it was a huge disaster. Spending all that time praying to God (and Mary) was a waste because they simply weren’t listening.

It’s hard for me to see people getting caught up in debates about how to pray. Prayer, whether it's repetitive or constantly changing, is still prayer. What really matters is praying with a sincere heart. God will see you through-I’m living proof of that. I don’t go to church every day, and I’m far from perfect, but still, God has shown me incredible mercy. I almost lost my marriage, but by His grace, things have turned around. Now, I'm earning $45k biweekly from my side investments, and I’m even thinking about leaving my 9-5 to start my own business. God truly listens and answers when we come to Him with a genuine heart. Just pray with a good heart. Shalom!
I couldn’t agree more!

When you repeat a script over and over , isn’t that babbling.
But these Roman and Greco, Roman gods, were not real! They were false! there is only one God
True! He does mention that they don't, didn't, exist, just after 3:20.
Gratias tibi Ascensionis Praesentat et Pater Schmidt +++

Jesus did not come to write a book, he came to establish a church and that church is the Catholic church the rest is hima being invention
no, the Rosary is the most powerful prayer because it breaks through Satan's heaven that blocks your prayers...see Daniel...Catholics don't read the Bible...it goes hand in hand with being a Catholic..the Bible says that we must clear the way for God to come to us...thus, the Hail Marys and also you can use the Saints to give you a boost...we don't pray to Mary or the Saints....we pray those prayers to the evil one..to clear the way...
I bet he would have something to say about the OVER-PRAISING AND GLORIFYING OF MARY in the Rosary, and the Catholic church in general.
Nope, its biblical btw are you struggling with scrupulous?
The fact the Hail Mary prayer is used as a penance is babble. God does not care about your many words only that you sincerely repent. Walk the walk don’t talk the talk
I think the Hail Mary prayer is babble. They’re empty words you’re told to pray to someone other than God. It’s not the repetition it’s the idolatry of dead prayer.
