    My family and I have always prayed the rosary ever since we were kids. One day I asked my Mom why we prayed the rosary ,and she just smiled and said,I made a promise to pray it always ". Later I found out here's my Mom's story : So when my Mother was a young girl still living at home ,her mother my Grandmother was going away for the weekend .while Grandma was away my mom had a dream where she saw the Blessed Mother and holding out her hand the Blessed Mother handed Mom a green rosary ,and said to her , " I want you to pray the rosary for the rest of your life ". When Grandma returned from her trip , she says to my Mom, " Here, I bought you a gift ." And gave her a green rosary ! Years later when my beautiful Mother passed , my brother placed a green rosary around her fingers . And now I thought , she could go to Blessed Mary and tell her that she kept her promise of praying the rosary everyday of her life ! PS because of our Mother my family and I still pray the rosary everyday !! Thanx Mom ! 👍 😁❤❤❤

    When I first started praying the rosary I was a little scared.. haha. But it made me feel so calm. I love praying the rosary now. My dad is Protestant, but even he is like, “if this is what gets you to actually talk to god and feel closer to him then I’m all for it”. It’s made such a difference in my prayer life.

    By praying the Rosary daily it has brought me healing. Physical healing when I'm in pain. I offer it up to our Lord and within a short time after praying the Rosary I get relief of my pain. It has also I believed helped with many healings that I have prayed for with people who have had terminal illnesses that are now cured. Mary has powerful healing graces we just need to pray to her and ask for them.

    As an Irish cradle Catholic I am lamentably ignorant about the power of the Rosary. Now unwell and getting old I am once again trying to revive it in my life - indeed I have been attempting to integrate it back into my life for three decades! Anything that will help me understand and develop this skill, ideally use it as my late father did when he was ailing as I am now, would be such a source of consolation for me now. Finding a way to do this online has been a project since the pandemic but looking for perfection is my downfall. All help therefore is appreciated.

      Pope John Paul II’s apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, we were introduced to a fourth set of mysteries to complement the three on which millions have contemplated for centuries. The luminous mysteries-the “mysteries of light”-reflect upon five events in the life of Christ that should be important in our daily prayer. The Luminous Mysteries include The Baptism of Jesus Christ- The Wedding at Cana- Proclamation of Gods Kingdom, Call to Conversion- The Transfiguration and The Institution of Holy Communion.

    I was called home from in a powerful divine dream or what I believe to be divine because when I woke up I remembered every detail and felt it.
    I’m a cradle Catholic, catholic school. The whole 9 yards. I stumbled into the new age and my husband kept trying to tell me it’s evil but I was ignorant and didn’t think it was. Now I know better. Thank God in his infinite mercy to literally yank me out of it and call me home to Catholicism. I’m home and happy. Pray the rosary every day and am filled with peace and joy.

    Just start praying it in a committed regular way. It’s the discipline and regularity/faithfulness to the devotion that puts you into deeper closer relationship- just like it does with human beings on earth. Don’t expect to feel anything during prayer just commit to it and you will see changes. For me 3-4 mysteries a day is a personal need but i started with just one and after a few weeks the commitment to do more came upon me.

    I grew up catholic, now consider myself protestant. I still have tremendous respect for the catholic church but I'll be honest that I cannot wrap my head around the idea of praying the rosary and asking Mary or any other saints to intercede spiritually on our behalf... As we know God is all knowing, all powerful, always present so He does have the ability to listen and answer every single prayer past, present, & future...
    So with that said, with there being over 1.3 billion catholics around the world, according to the catholic belief, Mary and the saints have the ability to listen and intercede for the 1.3+ billion catholics past, present, & future too.
    Would this mean God also grants Mary & the saints omnipotency, omniscient, & omnipresence in order to perform the intercessions while in heaven? If yes, where in scripture tells us that?
    Thanks.

      Asking Virgin Mary and Saints for prayers as we ask our own family and friends, is for our benefit. They have eternal life in Heaven and God heeds their prayers as they prevail over many things. God does not refuse His Mother! God willed that this work of salvation be accomplished through the collaboration of a woman, while respecting her free will (Gal. 4:4).
      He said where two or more are gathered, He is among them. It’s nice to have an army of the Just praying for us and with us. Jn 11:25-26, Pro 15:29, Jm 5:16, Rev 4:10, 5:8, 6:9-11, 7:11-15, 8:3-4, 11:19, 12:1-17, Lk 1:28, 35, 42-43, Jn 2:3-11.

    The birth of Rosary, everyone.
    *Jesus* - When you pray, please do not make it a whole public self-endorsement thing... just talk to the Father in your room in private... Matthew 6,5
    *Catholics* - Hey, wouldn't it be fun, if we made those big rosary circles and just prayed altogether in complete unison for self-endorsement? Forget the whole relationship part, I mean there must be no harm in treating God like a machine that just pops graces as you insert the identical prayer coins right?
    *Jesus* - When you pray, do not babble like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Matthew 6,7
    *Catholics* - Hey, you know what also? It would be best I think if we just repeated the same exact prayer over and over again! And you know, the more times you repeat the same words the better, right? Let's just make it talking in circles non stop!
    *Jesus* - Whatever you ask of me in my name, I shall give to you. John 16,24
    *Catholics* - Also how about we just direct the whole thing to a mortal person, and ask her to pray for us and get our grace for us. I mean the whole asking God in Jesus name directly stuff can't possibly work.
    *Jesus* - Also, pray Our Father, would you?
    *Catholics* - ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ALL RIGHT FINE :/ Just... just shove it there in between our stuff. GEEZ. :/
    jokes aside, I'm Catholic, I'm just capable of laughing at my own backyard too. And I do believe rosary works, because God can absolutely make wonders even with the TINY bit of obedience and TINY bit of faith that can be found in it. But it is, without a doubt, the worst possible "waste of time" prayer that our Church ever invented, literally doing everything in a least effective way, and exactly opposite of what Our Lord DIRECTLY AND CLEARLY asked...

    I find it impossible to concentrate on the mysteries of the day, and the words of the Hail Mary at the same time. Steeping my mind in the mystery reduces the prayer to a mantra. As the words of the Hail Mary could occupy the study of a life time, turning them to a subconscious chant seems inappropriate. I can't be the only one who struggles with this contradiction, and suspect many concentrate on the prayer counted on fingers or beads, and not the sacred mystery. Also, I have a vivid imagination and find events like the scourging at the pillar sufficiently traumatic, that it casts a depressing cloud over the day. There is no light, as with the Resurrection, just a twice weekly reminder of man's inhumanity to man. By contrast the Annunciation is a beautiful event I'm happy to linger on. Obviously, if the Hail Mary becomes routine, one doesn't have to engage in its deeper meaning, but that seems to miss the point.

  • @rolandovelasquez135
    @rolandovelasquez135 2 роки тому +3

    Bet you didn't know that in the Bible, in both the Old and the New Testament, all Believers always pray DIRECTLY to God the Father. Isn't that awesome? And in the New Testament it's always directly to God the Father, "in the name of Jesus". In fact when the disciples asked Jesus himself how to pray he said:
    "... your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..."
    Matthew 6:8‭-‬9
    And...
    "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
    Matthew 6:6
    And in God's Word Jesus himself intercedes for us, not his human mother. This is exactly what it says:
    "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."
    Hebrews 7:25
    "Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us."
    Romans 8:34
    And the Holy Spirit:
    "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
    Roman 8:26
    That's good enough for me.
    So, in conclusion, in the Bible the idea is NOT to go to the Son's human mother (or to anyone else), who then goes to the Son, who then goes to the Father with your request. No, your Heavenly Father's wish and desire is that you go DIRECTLY to Him with all your prayers and petitions. I'm not kidding. Check it out for yourself. So why go in little circles when the Father wants, and even commands, that we come directly to Him.
    "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father."
    John 16:26‭-‬27
    It's as though I was a simple little employee in a huge giant corporation. And the President/Owner of the corporation adopted me and loved me and told (ordered) me that any time I had a problem or a request, I was to go directly to him, and he would handle it. Perfect.

    • @maxwellbrown9559
      @maxwellbrown9559 2 роки тому +1

      1. First of all, repetitive prayers are completely acceptable to God. Look at Psalm 136, where the Psalmist says "His Mercy Endures Forever" many times. There are also many times in the Gospels and NT where prayers are repeated. In Matthew 26:44, we see that Jesus repeats his prayer to the Father in the garden. In Luke 11: 9-10, Jesus talks about how persistence in praying for something is important. And in Rev 4:8, we see the angels chant night and day, "Holy, Holy, Holy." And the term "vain repetitions" is not a completely accurate translation. The Greek word used in that Gospel is more closely linked to something like "stammering," "rambling on and on," or "empty phrases." In other words, what Jesus is saying effectively is: "Don't be like the pagans who think that the Father will only hear you if you say really long prayers." Jesus in the Gospel is just saying that God is not like the pagan gods. He knows what you want before you ask, and you don't need really long prayers for you to get His attention.
      2. The Catholic Church doesn't claim that the Saints are omniscient or omnipresent. But we do believe that the bonds between brothers and sisters in Christ are unbreakable and that even death cannot break them. Therefore, it is through God's grace that we can ask the Saints in Heaven to pray for us and with us to Jesus Christ. As we see in Matt 19:26, "all things are possible with God." If you want more information as to the scriptural historical roots of asking the saints to pray for us, go to the catholic answers website and type in "prayers to the saints." They have tons of articles explaining the scriptural and historical roots of the practice. May God bless You!

    I prayed the whole rosary once, in the Dominican tradition, and I honestly didn't feel much better and things didn't start to change (for better or worse). Although I prayed intensely, I didn't feel any "magic" or "spark." Maybe that's because it's only my first time praying with it? When I do something, I never do it again if I don't feel anything good coming from it in that moment and/or afterwards. In general, praying has never really helped me whatsoever (other than being put in a calming meditative state, which I can accomplish in other ways).
