    Before covid on Halloween, I went to a cemetery and brushed off leaves from 50 different headstones as I walked to each one, I offered a Hail Mary for them by name as I went along. Then, at the end, I offered the entire Rosary to all souls in the Cemetery. I'd like to go back to doing that. It was so peaceful.

    The Rosary is a long and very beautiful prayer, be always prepared for it with meditation. Don't pray when you're tired or sleepy, don't start right away, just take time to relax and meditate before you start, other words give it the time needed, it's worth it.
    Pray each mystery offered to the Holy Virgin with deep respect and appreciation then when you start the our Father and the 10 Hail Mary, imagine yourself present at the scene of the mystery more than 2000 years ago, kneeling behind and at the feet of the most Holy Queen, offering hommage and compassion, imagine yourself right there for example at the scene on Golgotha where Jesus crucified on the cross, kneeling behind Mary who's standing beside the cross, and praying the Hail Mary with such a deep compassion to Her agony and sufferings. Compassion and appreciation, meditate on making Her feeling consoled from your prayers, if She's happy be jubilant for Her, if She's worried give Her comfort, if She's in sadness give Her consolation, that's what the whole Rosary is all about, pray it that way and you'll never get distracted nor bored and remember when you have compassion, love and appreciation for the Mother of God, you're having the same compassion, love and appreciation for Jesus, He love His Mother so much that whoever loves His Mother with all their hearts, they'll have a special place in Jesus's heart.
    May your prayers be heard.

      @@BishopSheenRosaries I sometimes pray the Rosary while on an elliptical machine at the gym. A Rosary keychain can't really be used for that because I have to keep my hands on the machine's handles. So I don't (actually, can't) use actual beads in that case.
      Some people may also like to pray the Rosary while doing their gardening or working their factory job or something. They can keep count with their fingers, or (as I sometimes do) just mentally -- in which case, I alternate between praying the Hail Mary is English (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) and Latin (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) to help me keep count.
      In principle, yes, we should use beads while praying the Rosary whenever we can. But I think we can be flexible enough to acknowledge that in some situations, we can pray it without the beads. I doubt the Blessed Virgin Mary would mind.

      Always have my rosary with me ever since when I was in my early teens influenced/taught by a devout Catholic mother. It´s with me everywhere I go. In my handbag, in my pocket (if didn´t have my handbag with me). I felt at peace & safe knowing it´s close to me even if I´m not praying with it. I would like to share you this story - When I went to have my grocery shopping one day, and I come to the till to pay for my items, I couldn´t find my handbag where my wallet was, so that´s when I realized that I accidentally left my handbag in the shopping trolley outside but upon checking on it it was nowhere to be found but somehow despite of this, it seems I wasn´t that worried. So, I inquired at the shop´s customer service/lost & found if they have some handbag being put away & the staff asked me just ONE particular item in the handbag that relates to me and I said, there´s a little brown mini wallet in there which inside is my ROSARY. Needless to say, they hand me back my handbag!

I have seen wonders and miracles in my life. I always make sure ask for spiritual blessings more than physical and material blessings.

OR just by meditating briefly on rhe mystery, someone or something comes to mind; place that thought/ person into the mystery.

      Mmmm, if you’re constantly distracted, that may be a sign you lack appropriate custody and control of thoughts - I’m skeptical it is the Holy Spirit (I don’t think it’s reasonable that the Holy Spirit would intentionally distract you during the Rosary of all things). We are told to hold all thoughts captive to Christ - you have to build mental discipline.

    Something that has helped me more than any other tip is downloading several versions of each of the 4 rosaries with sacred art and chant music.

    After I lost my mother the only close relative i had, born without other siblings, i went to the statue of Mother Mary and asked her to be my Mother. The peace that ensued assured me that She had obliged. Since then I heve never experienced loneliness. And whenever I visit Adoration, or even a Marian Grotto , or Shrine i experience profound Peace.

    I pray the Rosary however I can. I have a rosary ring, a rosary necklace and my ten fingers that God gave me. I'm not gonna say a rosary just because I don't have a set of beads on me. When I pray while doing yard work or other chores, my ten fingers work the best.
    I'm working on getting to the point that no matter where I am or what I am doing I can be praying.

      You are the beautiful illustration of the counter point. The use of sacramentals is efficacious but not necessary. Still, the point is that it is preferable to have a rosary in your hand if possible. It helps.

    One night when beginning the Sorrowful Mysteries, a loud clap of thunder occurred, which made me jump. The next day going outside, i observed the large sycamore tree in the back yard 20 feet from duplex, had taken a direct hit. Burnt bark was laying everywhere. With the utility power line that travels through the branches, the strike should have rode that line traveling into my residence. But all was fine. With the damage the tree sustained, and the many dead branches that constantly fall during a rain or moderate wind it looks as if is the tree is dead. But each year the leaves bloom just like any healthy tree. Thank you Blessed Mother for your protection. JMJ.

      Please return to the same group. Think of this as a small Sacrifice to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Never turn away from a suffering. Endure it in peace and offer it. It will make your prayers more valuable and if truly suffered in the Name of the Savior it will draw you closer to Him. Pray for that speedy person's intentions. Maybe they have an anxiety problem that they are suffering through, maybe they are just unaware of what they are doing.

    In a group it just makes sense to pace yourself with the group. I agree that the Fatima prayer was called to be said at the end of each decade, but is it a bad thing to beg for Mercy, I randomly do both. Most days I work my way through 15 decades, on my fingers. Is it imperfect? Absolutely imperfect. Is it better than not praying? Without a doubt. Do I stumble and repeat? Yes, actually if I find myself lost I'll do my best to re-pray what I think I may have messed up. I drive OTR Monday through Friday and typically pray through about 85% of my driving hours. Praying unceasingly is what we're called to do. In my prayers I call to mind the Scripture of the particular decade to the best of my knowledge and then my own personal intentions for that decade and try to meditate on those while praying that decade. I'm by myself so I pray everything out loud. We need guidelines for prayer because as broken creatures we really don't know what we're doing, but I feel in personal prayer throughout our busy days praying as much as possible and however you can. All in reverence, of course

I find using the rosary a little distracting. I start playing with the beads and forget where I am, so I do follow with the virtual rosary. Sorry.

    I’m Protestant so I’ve only prayed the rosary at home with a UA-cam video. I’m with you on slowing down with the rosary. I can’t do the rosary videos where they say the rosary in 15-19 minutes; rosaries at that pace are stressful & like you’ve turned your mouth into a machine gun. Why even bother if you’re going to speed through so quickly that the experience is miserable? I choose a rosary video that is in the 27-31 minutes range for the rosary by itself & up to 40 minutes if I pray the rosary with scripture. My favorite rosary is “The Rosary is a Place” with Fr Benedict Groeschel. It’s the first rosary I ever prayed, & it feels like you’re floating with angels or something; it just gives you that much of a sense of peace. They need to make more professional quality audio & video rosaries available for download.
