    I was a alcoholic for 20 years, opiate addict for 13. Been to rehab 10 times, was completely overtaken by addiction. Started praying the Rosary unceasingly over and over. I'm now 3 years sober. All glory to God in the highest

      Greetings from Australia 🦘 Fantastic testimony. Thank you for sharing. Praying the rosary keeps a person grounded. I know it has helped me. Good luck and God bless you in your journey. I hope you can work with other recovering addicts. That might be your calling.

      I’m right with you. I had a very similar past. I had a profound experience while praying the Rosary and my whole outlook on life changed in that moment. All the anxiety, fear, hate I had in my heart just melted away. We are truly blessed to have had such an awakening experience. Suffering makes us appreciate God’s Grace and Mercy in a special way. God bless.

      @@jeffjacobson59 good luck Jeff. Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet is also profound. I think praying also helps to remind us of others and show mercy to others in our prayers, otherwise we get stuck in our heads (ie. it's all about me!).

    I’m 13 years old and about 3 years ago my mom bought me a rosary. I would pray it with her but I really didn’t understand why we pray it. Now I’m trying to dig deeper in my faith because mom told me about this channel. (2022) She also bought me a how to pray the rosary booklet and it had way more information than I thought it would have , but I’m glad. Sadly my rosary broke on me but luckily mom has been receiving lots of rosaries from the mail and each is unique. I told her about my rosary breaking , and she gave me one of her rosaries. I used it in my spare time , but it didn’t feel like it was mine and that little fact annoyed me until I had ( perhaps Mother Mary, God, or Jesus gave me the idea) a great idea. To make my own rosary. So I did my research on tying note for a rosary. In about 2 days I finished it and it was spectacular I was so proud of myself , but I realized that I needed it to be blessed and that’s what I asked the priest to do. Another step complete. I’ve used a couple times now but the last not wasn’t tight enough and it broke on me. Now I’m currently replacing the string with a longer one so I have more to use and taking my time. So far I only have one decade complete. I also used the Hail holy queen and cross from my old rosary for my new one. I feel like I’m doing something very good so I can pray it more with understanding and focus on our lady.

    A great way to remember to pray for people is to make what Fr Ripperger calls “spiritual contracts”. For example, “My Lady, My Lord, I humbly ask to make a spiritual contract that every time I pray the Rosary, the merits, and virtues, from these prayers, go for the relief and release of the Souls in Purgatory, my friends, those for whom I promised to pray...”, etc. Same for any devotion, Novena, act of charity, etc....I’ve found this to be very helpful, as many times, we forget, throughout the day.

    If I had one thing to pray for. It would be my dysfunctional family and broken family and it's true. Now why exactly is my family dysfunctional and broken? Well the answer to that is both my older brother and my dad had several verbal arguments in the past few days and a week. And as of this past Thursday my older brother decided to pack his things and move out of the house and live with my mom at her house which I highly commended him for. And now both my brother and I had enough of dad and decided not to talk to him. So here's what I did. I added my older brother and my dad on my Rosary prayer list that in the hopes that Jason and dad can make peace with each other and reconcile and hopefully the family therapy will become helpful and useful.

Adding to this..I pray the entire rosary ( joyful, luminous, sorrowful, glorious mysteries) every day without fail...these collections of mine were displayed in church as exhibition...my purpose of doing it is ..God gave a beautiful life...on Earth but I chose these collections as my legacy for the glory of God after my departure from earth....Ave Maria...

    I wasn’t a fan of the Illuminous mysteries but as I pray and meditate on them, I see them as a window into future events. A new baptism, a great miracle for future believers, a new proclamation to the kingdom, a transfiguration of an almost unrecognizable church and a newfound reverence of the most holy Eucharist! Thy Kingdom Come! Maranatha!

      Happy to hear you are giving them a chance! May you receive the fruits of those Mysteries! 🙏

    Many years ago after ive finished praying the 15 prayers St Bridgette prayer for a whole year. I had a beautiful dream , i was in this bright room and Jesus sat next to me. He told me many people on this earth are no longer doing His will. And so the end will come soon ( dont ask me when, He didnt tell me either 🥴) and He told me to pray the rosary because this is the prayer that can save us at the end of times.

      Thank you Fr Alar for your explanation of the Rosary. I feel what you say is true.Every I say the Rosary, I start yawning and sometimes even fall asleep. I know it is hard to say 20 decades daily but I try my best because of a favor granted to me by Our LADY who answered my prayer that a friend of mine be converted. She died of cancer but was baptised about 1 1/2 months before she died. The miracle was that she asked for the Rosary to be given to her. To cut a long story short, now by the love of my LADY, I have added the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy to my daily prayers at 3 pm. Miracles do happen if we ask for HER intercession. GOD bless you Fr Alar.

    Fr. Chris, thank you very much for this explanation. I was born Catholic and I am so thankful to the Lord for making me a woman, a Catholic, and a Filipino. We started our elementary education at Dominican School in Manila ( My sisters and I finished our high school education at St. Scholastica’s Academy in Marikina ) and it was there that I learned to pray the Rosary. When I was in the first grade, we prayed the Rosary and for some reason, I was the only one who can recite the Hail Holy Queen completely while my classmates forgot some of the words. Thank you for that piece of history on how and who started the Rosary, that it was St. Dominic.
    I am once again encouraging my teenage sons to pray the Rosary with me because it is very difficult to encourage teenagers nowadays to pray the Rosary. My husband and my youngest son still refuse to attend masses at Church despite our churches being so clean and safe despite the on going pandemic . I hope that someday soon I can talk them into going to confession too. God bless you for helping me to grow more spiritually. It is the only good thing that happened to me during this pandemic.
    A friend introduced me to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy years ago and I am hooked in praying that too. I was able to buy the Diary of St. Faustina and your book Explaining the Faith at the Marian Father’s house in Quezon City last year.

You give great encouragement describing Fr St Dominic and how he received the Rosary AND WHY .no documentation exists (because it was destroyed) of Mother Mary’s instruction to pray the Rosary. I am committed to praying the Rosary each day - I find it a power in my life. I thank the Lord & Mother Mary for this tremendous weapon & comfort. Blessings on you, your work,the Dominicans and the Marian Fathers.

I am proud graduate of University of Santo Tomas, a Dominican University in the Philippines. I love the Rosary 📿 and pray it more than once a day. I carry it with me everywhere. I give them to patients in the hospital including the Divine Mercy Chaplet and novena prayer cards. When I wake up at night, I reach for my rosary and pray it again. It gives me peace. May God bless you always and keep you safe so you may continue to lead us in our spiritual journey. 🙏🕊❤️📿💐

    I trust in Blessed Mary's intercession along with my patron saint St. Jude. I have only been praying the Rosary daily for about six months but my life has been transformed. Sins that had a grip on my life for several decades are now controlled. Through their intercession even some of the consequences of my sins have been mitigated. Combined with the Sacraments the Rosary has had a cleansing effect on my soul while illuminating how offensive sin is to God. Praying the Rosary and living a sinful life is just not compatible. The Rosary helped me find my way back to the narrow road. Thank you Blessed Mary and St. Jude.
