The Rosary saved my Grandfather's life in World War 2. He was Praying the Rosary in an attic in Aachen Germany and two other soldiers were talking there so he left the room to Pray somewhere else and shortly after that a mortar shell hit the wall where he had been standing killing those 2 Men. He had many close calls where he was Miraculously saved by God and he credits him and his family Praying the Rosary for him surviving the War! Thanks be to God! If not for God's protection through the Rosary my Father and I wouldn't be here today!
At the age of 76 I walk approx. 6 miles / 10 kilometres almost every day … I have formed the habit of saying the ROSARY from the HALO APP on my iPhone using my earphones - following the Mysteries carefully explained by BISHOP BARRON … it has drew me closer to our Blessed Mother indeed thanks in no small part to Bishop Barron. 👌🏼 Now as a Deputy Grand Knight with the KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS in our parish I often recite the Rosary approximately 20 minutes before the weekend Masses from the pulpit.

fellow KC GK here, I pray the Rosary everyday, am, pm. At our KC mtgs we pray a decade. In the church it is said after the daily mass. I wish more people could understand how effective the Roasay is!!
Oooooo… that’s a good idea. I do it during my drive to work but I can’t focus as much cos’ I still need to focus on the traffic, pedestrians etc. I should change it to when I run the treadmill. Thank you. God bless you ❤️.
My husband was diagnosed last December with stage 4 prostate cancer, first I bought a small statue of St Jude , and we began to say a daily rosary. My husband had treatment radiation and hormones and completed 44 days of treatment with radiation two days ago, he has done so well, NO side effects at all, his attitude was amazing, when you have faith it becomes easy to be optimistic, and we both were full of Joy in such a hard time for us. The radiologist and oncologist said my husband has done amazing and is feeling wonderful, never underestimate The Power Of Prayer and the rosary 🙏
Or her soul from not teaching you better because that’s a mortal sin too, we each make our way to heaven by understanding that we each suffer from our own decisions. Because you don’t understand service and repentance
I can't go to sleep until I've said my rosary. I know it isn't my passport to heaven but it's my devotion to Mary and I know it makes me feel safe. The plus side it annoys the devil x
I fall asleep while praying the rosary! Better than counting sheep! I like what the Little Flower, St. Teresa said: “I should be distressed that I drop off to sleep during my prayers... But I don’t feel at all distressed. I know that children are just as dear to their parents whether they are asleep or awake, and I know that doctors put their patients to sleep before they operate. I’d never before heard it said that one’s faults did not distress God, and I was overwhelmed with joy when I did receive this assurance. It gave me patience to endure this life of exile. It was, too, the echo of my inmost thoughts. For a long time I had realized that Our Lord was more tender than a mother - and how well I know the depths of tenderness in more than one mother’s heart! I know that a mother is always ready to forgive the misbehavior of her child.”
The part of the rosary that I am absolutely connected to and moved by is when the rosary tells me, the Lord is with her. This for me means Mary's Son is there in her midst hearing us talk to her, request her intercession. I feel it in my inner being that Christ is indeed with her, always hearing our interaction.
Growing up, we were encouraged to talk to God like we talk to people. The rosary is very repetitive. Then in a dream, I was inspired to start praying the rosary more regularly. Instead of saying it orally I start saying word by word in my head. It took 3 to 4 times longer. For each mystery my imagination and emotions started to come in play. There are things you read or heard about like unconditional love but it is on another level when God shows the true meaning. Pray with your mind , heart and soul with the righteous intentions and attitude Our Blessed Mother will be there to guide you. May God’s Grace shower all who prays the rosary
I listen to Bishop Barron pray the rosary on the hollow app. I speed up the tempo and it’s the same as a meditation for me. I use ear phones. It allows me to find rhythm and focus clears my mind as meditation does
Oh. Bishop Barron for 2 years may be , I pray the rosary you had said with reflections day & night..what a blessing... restoration..peace. Thanks be to God
I converted to Roman Catholicism in 2010. I can remember, learning the Rosary, one of the leaders saying that it's not a speed contest. He said that it's far better to pray one decade with sincerity and consideration (considering, thinking in depth) than racing through five. I've prayed it daily ever since the same way; if I don't have time to do five I'll do what I can, slowly and thoughtfully. I had had a background in Zen meditation and rejoiced the day I learned that the Rosary was also a tool to deeper spiritual life.
I make it a habit to pray 🙏 the 4 mysteries of the holy rosary while doing my morning walk with our Blessed Lady,Jesus and my Guardian Angel 😇 🙏 ❤️ with the Gregorian chant as a background..what a wonderful feeling of profound peace it is afterwards ❤️ 😊
Like many, I have my testimony regarding the rosary. Mother Mary has interceded for me with some results completely explicit especially prayers that have been answered for my son who is struggling addiction.
I started praying the rosary when I asked that my dog would live longer than the 3 weeks the vet told me. I gradually learned how to pray and it has stayed with me. My golden retriever lived another 6 months. My friend told me, your dog Lady… led you to our Lady”
I love you Mann....VERY,VERY VERY WELL DONE ...I 💯 share your view and when you say becoming like the Pharisees....I catch myself sometimes...God Bless you brother for Having the courage to make this video👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿
When we visited my grandparents (on Mom's side of the family) Nana would open the door and the rosary was always in her hand. Then she would put it in the pocket of her apron. I am sure once we left, she would take it out and continue. Being Portuguese, our Lady of Fatima statue was in her home, in our house and now in my home (oldest daughter has one too). I would miss Mary if she wasn't in our home. (The statue traveled with us in our RV when we moved to another state, I would never let her go with the movers!!
65 and only started Praying The Rosary in the last few years. As a child of the 60's we never learnt about the mysteries. Making up for lost time. Rosary always in my pocket, bag under pillow. Always being used. Holy Spirit teach us to Pray
My grandfather, a British Catholic of Irish heritage,carried the Rosary beads with him throughout WW2 and I’ve no doubt he prayed the rosary. Both he and his brother, who was in a different regiment, both survived. They accidentally bumped into each other in Rome after the liberation, and rolled the streets with joy and seeing each other after all the years they’d been separated and totally joyful that they’d both survived the horrors of war. My grandfather witnessed people killed right in front of him. Yet he survived.
I remember the era after Vatican II and the confusion that was so prevalent in the Church. A former pastor from our parish was formed during that time and admitted he needed to be catechized when he entered seminary. We can go far afield but God brings the humble heart back to himself. Not to worry.
hi thank you father i love my rosary wouldnt go with out it very powerful for us and aganist the evil one so so powerful thak our blessed mother we have it and our god amen
My mom who passed away a few years ago is my model in praying the rosary. I remember seeing her pray about 5 times a day (beside daily Mass) while I was growing up and I wondered but refused to join her when she asked. But now in my late 40s I am pretty much doing the same thing as she did, praying for myself, my family and friends and others ❤ and when I ask my children to pray with me , they reluctantly do so and only agree to do 3 Hail Mary only. Good enough I guess ?? 😊 To Jesus through Mary 🙏
I remember as a youngster praying the rosary at a wake, not very well but going along. Many years later at the death bed of my father I enlisted two of my nieces to pray the rosary with me. None of us knew the format or had much more than the Our Father & Hail Mary committed to memory. We muddied through it, but the memory of not knowing it motivated me to learn it better and pray it daily. I highly recommend 🙏📿🙏
Stumbled on you and happy to find this. I’m a cradle Catholic so nice to see calm and true conversations. I do both justice and the rosary….but I will admit as a woman I have adjusted the prayers a bit. I am aware of our traditions and how we have been given our prayers and still they all come through human beings and there are human errors, mistakes in translations and our Church does change over time. Women in our faith….perhaps this is the challenge of our time? We only know the past through stories and across time the stories do change.
Why do you want to know this? Do you know the Holy Rosary?.... are you part of the Catholic Church? If you were, you would have known that we pray the Our Father six times on five decades and this prayer that comes straight from Jesus' lips, contain LET THY KINGDOM COME, LET THY WILL BE DONE...ON EARTH.... AS IT IS IN HEAVEN... I must be honest, I do not know what an EARTHLY kingdom.....
Let’s not forget the Rosary is from heaven. Also like the Divine Mercy Chaplet. We are praying words from Heaven and from the bible. We are praying the bible!
Protestants rely soly on the Bible but even they don’t realize the disciples were so very interested in HOW to communicate with the father . Prayer is the ONE link between here and there where communication goes both ways . The book is psalms is filled with repetitive prayer . Yet Protestants think the OT is worthless .
I love meditating on the rosary alone . I love saying it as a mantra with a group . Both forms are great as the father says . It’s radically transformed my life . I’d be here all night explaining it
Me either but, I think his explanation kind of explains it. Growing up in the late 60's/early 70's, there were WAY TOO MANY self-proclaimed know it all's on this planet. Too many chiefs, not enuff Indians (so to speak) It was a rough time for the Church, Society and, Mankind in general. It was a messed-up era! We need to get back to what the Lord wants us to do and stop trying to micro-manage all things Devine
My greatest experiences praying the rosary was when I set my alarm for 3am, making sure not to wake entirely from my sleep. Sit and with my eyes closed...semi awake and go through the mysteries. The point is to meditate on the mysteries and Like Bishop Barron said, the Hail Marys become like Gregorian Chant offering a shield of protection while at times, wonderful and painful times you enter into a dreamlike state and are transported into the mysteries. I recommend this for anyone who wishes to experience the rosary in a new way.
Jonathan Roumie praying the rosary for Israel while walking the streets of Paris... right after the horrendous attack by Hammas.... that was the first I heard it (I was raised Protestant). I bought a rosary, and I have been saying it daily since.
This is the way I prayed the rosary during my childhood (translated from Ukrainian) "Mother of God Virgin, rejoice, blessed Mary, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you gave birth to Christ the Savior, the Redeemer of our souls" So, I was surprised when I translated it. I used to just say the words and my mind would wander around. I like that instead of "Hail", we say "Rejoice". I had no clue the last response was so different from the English version.
I must agree with Bishop Barron. I dislike just rattling through the Rosary in around 15 minutes. It trivialises it, almost like turning a Tibetan prayer wheel.
I grew up with parents and family praying the rosary often. Particularly my mother prayed the rosary with the most sincere devotion and purpose. As far as I know none of the major intentions that we/they prayed for were ever answered. I still say the hail Mary and encourage my teenage son to say the rosary. I honestly don't know why.
No. Prayers are always answered, not in the way we sometimes expect. It may come with the grace to cope with the problem. Ask atheist how often depressed they are , these are what a Christian do not suffer because of prayers.
@goodman4093 No prayer are not always answered. Yes sometimes other good/blessings may come about that we were not praying for but quite simply prayers are not answered. Example: people pray for end of suffering, conflict, pain, distress etc, etc and they die with suffering, conflict, pain, distress etc, etc. It can not be argued that those prayers were answered.
@user-wo7rz3yn4o if your prayers are not answered, maybe it is time for you to discern (a different form of prayer) . For instance , prayer(mumblings of words) can not wish conflict, disaster, or wars away. In this case, discernment (prayer to action) is needed to know how to fight that battle. Edit: during covid years, it was through prayer, I heard God the father spoke to me "eat garlic and onions" then I obeyed(action). A few hours later I was cured. AT other times when sick, I discerned I needed to visit the hospital.
Isn’t there more Catholics now in Northern Ireland than Protestants? Church is growing which is nice to see. Praying the rosary once a day makes the day better.
In the reading for St. Martin’s memorial today, St. Paul described the qualifications forof priests: “[A]ppoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you, on condition that a man be blameless, married only once, with believing children who are not accused of licentiousness or rebellious.” Ti 1:1-9. The Amazonian bishops got it. Someday, perhaps, we will even follow Jesus’ example of appointing mature married men as bishops, successors to the Apostles.
DEVOTION TO ROSARY DIVINE MERCY PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL MEMORARE TO ST JOSEPH POOR SOULS IN PURGATORY MY PRIEST FRIENDS FOR THE POPE KEEP TEN COMMANDMENTS THANKSGIVING ADORATION TO JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT GRATITUDE REVERENCE TO THE GUARDIAN ANGELS FORGIVENESS OF ENEMIES LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH NEIGHBORS
I know the Rosary is meant to be comtemplative or focusing. Either way, to connect one better with their prayers and attention to Christ in all prayers, including those through saints. But I'm extremely distracted from prayer, from focus, by the structure and lengthiness of the effort. Except to some degree the Hail Mary portions.
Has anyone been able to complete the rosary without distraction? We have been failing miserably even though we start the rosary with a request for grace to complete the rosary without any other thoughts. Are we not entitled for such grace?
I haven’t had any success, my mind would wonder about what need to be done, ingredients I need for a recipes, thoughts about my kids just random thoughts.
A priest told me what to do; make these thoughts also your intentions. (In addition to the intentions you gave at the start of the Rosary). I hope that makes sense, he was better at explaining.
I do too, and the moment I realise it, I bring myself back into the moment and ask the Holy Spirit to help. God is merciful, let us never forget that. Peace be with you.🌹🌹🕯🕯➕
I find your clickbait to be offensive, particularly in relation to Bishop Barron. Have you discussed this with him and received permission from Bishop Barron?
11, minutes never in my life meet a Irish person who didn't say a rosary that didn't last at least 40 minutes. Meet Irish people who complained the hallow app rosary is missing alot of prayers😂 Priests only lasting 11 minutes might explain alot.
Where do you find the rosary in the Bible? Do any of the disciples had ever used the rosary? Rosary is a repetitive prayer and in Mathew Jesus Christ had told us how to pray which is a total contrary if praying using the rosary. There is only one way towards the Father and that is not to any one except Jesus Christ.
How does the rosary not conflict with: Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
@@marymc6823 An entire religion doesn't promote the saying of Psalm 136 once or more a day. Psalm 136 recognizes God and God alone. Psalm 136 doesn't include the use of beads. I notice you didn't reference Matthew 6:6 - "pray to thy FATHER"
Because meditation is the key. You don't pray the Rosary by just saying the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Fatima Prayer. You meditate on the life of Christ as you pray them. When Catholics recite the twelve prayers that form a decade of the rosary, they meditate on the mystery associated with that decade. If they merely recite the prayers, whether vocally or silently, they’re missing the essence of the rosary. Critics, not knowing about the meditation part, imagine the rosary must be boring, uselessly repetitious, and meaningless. It is the meditation on the mysteries that gives the rosary its staying power. The Joyful Mysteries are these: the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), the Visitation (Luke 1:40-56), the Nativity (Luke 2:6-20), the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:21-39), and the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41-51). Luminous Mysteries: The Baptism of the Lord (Matthew 3:13-17), The Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:1-15), Jesus’ The Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-13), The Institution of the Eucharist (Matthew 26:26-30) Then come the Sorrowful Mysteries: the Agony in the Garden (Matt. 26:36-46), the Scourging (Matt. 27:26), the Crowning with Thorns (Matt. 27:29), the Carrying of the Cross (John 19:17), and the Crucifixion (Luke 23:33-46). The final Mysteries are the Glorious: the Resurrection (Luke 24:1-12), the Ascension (Luke 24:50-51), the Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4), the Assumption of Mary into Heaven (Rev. 12), and her Coronation (cf. Rev. 12:1). As you pray the Rosary, eventually it would not just become a simple and repetitive prayer. Ps. According to Matthew 6:6, Catholics understand that true prayer is not about seeking external validation or admiration from others, but rather about having a genuine, heartfelt conversation with God. The verse warns against “practicing [one’s] piety before men in order to be seen by them” (RSVCE), as this approach yields no reward from God. By embracing this understanding of Matthew 6:6, Catholics can deepen their prayer lives and cultivate a more authentic, intimate relationship with God. What I don't understand is what is your understanding of this verse's connection to the Rosary?
@@brucedavenport7016 Psalm 136 is a hymn of thanksgiving in the Catholic tradition, attributed to King David. It is a liturgical psalm, often sung in antiphonal fashion, with a refrain that emphasizes God’s everlasting mercy. It is a rich and meaningful hymn in the Catholic tradition, praising God’s goodness, mercy, and enduring love. Its refrain, “for his steadfast love endures forever,” is a powerful expression of faith and trust, emphasizing God’s unwavering commitment to His people. Just a little trivia about the praying with beads, the Catholic prayer beads, commonly known as the Rosary, have their roots in early Christian prayer practices. While its exact origin is unclear, historians agree that the use of beads for counting prayers dates back to the 3rd century. Christian hermits and monks in Egypt, known as Desert Fathers, used stones or prayer ropes to keep track of the 150 Psalms.
@@ladybrunette You're repeating the catholic justification for using repetitive prayer. The Bible says don't do it. It doesn't matter that you call it "meditation" The rosary mentions Mary 14 times. Matthew 6:6 says "pray to thy father" There is no scripture that even infers you should repetitively "meditate" to the mother of the Son of God.
I find the greeting hail.mary a.bit too common I prefer hail VIRGIN mary It is.a better hommage Just as in the second part of the prayer i find the words Holy.mary I.recite holy mother of God.pray for us etc This is my.way of reciting the rosary
I stopped praying the rosary, because I was subjected to terrible demonic spiritual mental and even physical attacks. I stopped praying and the attacks also stopped. I would always give special attention for the release of souls in purgatory. FACT
I have lost my faith years ago funny enough i have started getting interested in the psalms i was brought up protestant the rosary sound interesting but as I'm from Glasgow Scotland i would like to get my faith back i have a question for the group dose the rosary praying work if it does i might give it a try
Hi I think God is calling you as these thoughts don't come from nowhere. I belong to St Thomas the Apostle in Riddrie Glasgow where there are groups of people finding or renewing their faith in the Neocatechumenal Way. It brought me and my husband back to the church after many years away from Church.I'll keep you in my prayers.
Meditating on the Life of Jesus and praising God.... by saying the Holy Rosary is so very much rewarding. We have a Mother who wants us closer to her Son, Jesus and who prays and intercedes for us and hear our petitions. Thank you Jesus for giving us you Mother at the cross.🌹🌹🕯🕯
Praying the rosary is idolatry. God condemns Idolatry. exodus 20:4-6. The Catholic Mary and the Biblical Mary are not the same, the real Mary is dead, and the Catholic Mary is an idol, it doesn't exist, and all those apparitions are lies.
I just don’t understand where the concept of praying to Mary, or any other past Christian comes from. I don’t know of any Scripture that supports that belief. No one comes to the Father except by the Son. Jesus only gave us one model prayer to pray. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s all we pray, but it’s clear the format of prayer is to pray to the Father.
The Protestants are giving us a good warning! There's a possibility of adoring Mary if you lapse into it, anything is a potential idol. See CCC pg 69 Prayer of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity.
@AndrewReynolds-e9g You should go directly to the source- bishop Barron's full video, for example. Never use a second-hand resource like this. This person is discussing only his subjective opinion. Go to the source
Jesus is grace. Mary was full of Jesus. That’s the reality for all Christians today. Jesus lives in His people covering them with grace. We go directly to the throne of grace for help in the time of need, that’s how we are told to seek in prayer. Is Mary on the throne? If not, you’re doing bad here!
But surely Mary is Miriam…why change her name…would it be due to the church ridding itself of its Jewish roots and thus growing a Greco Roman identity…The Saviour was/is a Jew…Yeshua. The anti-Semitic writings of the church fathers make appalling references to the Jews…quite shocking reading..and yet they are a covenant people and gentiles are the wild root grafted in who are warned to be humble about their position.
The true Jewish religion is the religion of Christ, not the pharisees that is now known as Judaism. Israel is the Church, the false religion of modern Jews as nothing in common with the religion of the Old Covenant except for appearances.
@ Very good question; worth researching. All the works of the church fathers are available to read…I’d encourage you to read them. But here is just one example: John Chrysostom “The synagogue is worse than a brothel…it is the den of scoundrels and the repair of wild beasts…the temple of demons devoted to idolatrous cults…the refuge of brigands and dabauchees, and the cavern of devils. It is a criminal assembly of Jews…a place of meeting for the assassins of Christ… a house worse than a drinking shop…a den of thieves, a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, the refuge of devils, a gulf and a abyss of perdition."…"I would say the same things about their souls… As for me, I hate the synagogue…I hate the Jews for the same reason.” Ironically his name means golden mouth. You could also just look at the Wikipedia page for Antisemitism in Christianity.
@@Mercyme57 the religion of the pharisees, which is modern day Judaism, is not the religion of Jesus, it is a perversion of the true religion which was practiced by the Hebrews of the Old Covenant and is continued to be practiced by the Church established by Christ, the Catholic Church. When you understand that the religion of the Jews that the Church Fathers were writing about was a religion formed in response to Christ, in order to reject and explain away the true messiah, you'll understand that the writings of the Church Fathers are the farthest thing from antisemitism. The Church is Israel, the religion of the Old Covenant is the same religion as the Church, the Hebrews believed in Christ, and were awaiting his incarnation, scripture testifies to this fact. If you think the Church Fathers were antisemitic then you don't understand or hold the true Christian faith. The Gentiles were indeed grafted in, but Israel isn't the nation of modern Judaism, it is the nation of those who hold the true faith.
@@DJofMarysImmaculata he likely thinks the religion of the Old Covenant is the religion of modern Judaism, as many protestants mistakenly believe. They don't understand Israel is the Church.

I believe the rosary is a meditative prayer.
Oh. Bishop Barron for 2 years may be , I pray the rosary you had said with reflections day & night..what a blessing... restoration..peace. Thanks be to God
I converted to Roman Catholicism in 2010. I can remember, learning the Rosary, one of the leaders saying that it's not a speed contest. He said that it's far better to pray one decade with sincerity and consideration (considering, thinking in depth) than racing through five. I've prayed it daily ever since the same way; if I don't have time to do five I'll do what I can, slowly and thoughtfully. I had had a background in Zen meditation and rejoiced the day I learned that the Rosary was also a tool to deeper spiritual life.
I make it a habit to pray 🙏 the 4 mysteries of the holy rosary while doing my morning walk with our Blessed Lady,Jesus and my Guardian Angel 😇 🙏 ❤️ with the Gregorian chant as a background..what a wonderful feeling of profound peace it is afterwards ❤️ 😊
Like many, I have my testimony regarding the rosary. Mother Mary has interceded for me with some results completely explicit especially prayers that have been answered for my son who is struggling addiction.
I started praying the rosary when I asked that my dog would live longer than the 3 weeks the vet told me. I gradually learned how to pray and it has stayed with me. My golden retriever lived another 6 months. My friend told me, your dog Lady… led you to our Lady”
Your false dichotomy issue is so well taken. I've loved Catholicism for its rationality in regards to its definitions and tenets.
I love you Mann....VERY,VERY VERY WELL DONE ...I 💯 share your view and when you say becoming like the Pharisees....I catch myself sometimes...God Bless you brother for Having the courage to make this video👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿
When we visited my grandparents (on Mom's side of the family) Nana would open the door and the rosary was always in her hand. Then she would put it in the pocket of her apron. I am sure once we left, she would take it out and continue. Being Portuguese, our Lady of Fatima statue was in her home, in our house and now in my home (oldest daughter has one too). I would miss Mary if she wasn't in our home. (The statue traveled with us in our RV when we moved to another state, I would never let her go with the movers!!
65 and only started Praying The Rosary in the last few years.
As a child of the 60's we never learnt about the mysteries.
Making up for lost time.
Rosary always in my pocket, bag under pillow.
Always being used.
Holy Spirit teach us to Pray
My grandfather, a British Catholic of Irish heritage,carried the Rosary beads with him throughout WW2 and I’ve no doubt he prayed the rosary. Both he and his brother, who was in a different regiment, both survived. They accidentally bumped into each other in Rome after the liberation, and rolled the streets with joy and seeing each other after all the years they’d been separated and totally joyful that they’d both survived the horrors of war.
My grandfather witnessed people killed right in front of him. Yet he survived.
I love these two together.
I remember the era after Vatican II and the confusion that was so prevalent in the Church. A former pastor from our parish was formed during that time and admitted he needed to be catechized when he entered seminary. We can go far afield but God brings the humble heart back to himself. Not to worry.
Humility is, a great virtue. Blessed are they who possess t
hi thank you father i love my rosary wouldnt go with out it very powerful for us and aganist the evil one so so powerful thak our blessed mother we have it and our god amen
We need, should and have to pray the Rosary! Praying and meditating on the mysteries for the salvation of the world.
Rosary unites us to Mother Mary lift our minds & hearts to God in highest praise...not others.So we receive His graces.
My mom who passed away a few years ago is my model in praying the rosary. I remember seeing her pray about 5 times a day (beside daily Mass) while I was growing up and I wondered but refused to join her when she asked. But now in my late 40s I am pretty much doing the same thing as she did, praying for myself, my family and friends and others ❤ and when I ask my children to pray with me , they reluctantly do so and only agree to do 3 Hail Mary only. Good enough I guess ?? 😊 To Jesus through Mary 🙏
I love Bishop Barons Rosary on the Hallow app! 🥰
I remember as a youngster praying the rosary at a wake, not very well but going along. Many years later at the death bed of my father I enlisted two of my nieces to pray the rosary with me. None of us knew the format or had much more than the Our Father & Hail Mary committed to memory. We muddied through it, but the memory of not knowing it motivated me to learn it better and pray it daily. I highly recommend 🙏📿🙏
Stumbled on you and happy to find this. I’m a cradle Catholic so nice to see calm and true conversations. I do both justice and the rosary….but I will admit as a woman I have adjusted the prayers a bit. I am aware of our traditions and how we have been given our prayers and still they all come through human beings and there are human errors, mistakes in translations and our Church does change over time. Women in our faith….perhaps this is the challenge of our time? We only know the past through stories and across time the stories do change.
Is the our father a part of the rosary prayer?
@@_ready__ Yes absolutely! Each decade is started with The Our Father.➕
@@Meraikie are you praying for the earthly kingdom to come as was promised to the Jews?
Why do you want to know this?
Do you know the Holy Rosary?.... are you part of the Catholic Church?
If you were, you would have known that we pray the Our Father six times on five decades and this prayer that comes straight from Jesus' lips, contain LET THY KINGDOM COME, LET THY WILL BE DONE...ON EARTH.... AS IT IS IN HEAVEN...
I must be honest, I do not know what an EARTHLY kingdom.....
@@Meraikie that was a prayer for the Jews to pray for their promised earthly kingdom. The Jews were wholly earthly with no hope of heaven.
Let’s not forget the Rosary is from heaven. Also like the Divine Mercy Chaplet. We are praying words from Heaven and from the bible. We are praying the bible!
Protestants rely soly on the Bible but even they don’t realize the disciples were so very interested in HOW to communicate with the father . Prayer is the ONE link between here and there where communication goes both ways . The book is psalms is filled with repetitive prayer . Yet Protestants think the OT is worthless .
I love meditating on the rosary alone . I love saying it as a mantra with a group . Both forms are great as the father says .
It’s radically transformed my life . I’d be here all night explaining it
It's a powerful weapon for me I use to be terrified of the dark and occasionally had disturbed sleep I'm no longer afraid.
Beads as a weapon?
@@_ready__prayers that is
@@solemovers bead prayers?
@@_ready__you realize the word ‘bead’ is German for prayer, right?
@ bead prayer
Never heard of a priest not praying the rosary before
Me either but, I think his explanation kind of explains it. Growing up in the late 60's/early 70's, there were WAY TOO MANY self-proclaimed know it all's on this planet. Too many chiefs, not enuff Indians (so to speak) It was a rough time for the Church, Society and, Mankind in general. It was a messed-up era! We need to get back to what the Lord wants us to do and stop trying to micro-manage all things Devine
The rosary is my daily armor 🙏🏾🕊📿❤🇦🇼
I wish more Catholic men would pray the rosary.
I love the rosary. It is a simple prayer that brings you into the presence of Jesus. ❤
Running long distance is a good time to do the rosary, about 1 every 2 miles--surround your town with prayer, literally.
That's how I survived running the Comrades Marathon for the last couple of times... :)
Catechuman here going through RCIA..
How do you physically hold, pray and go through the beads of the rosary while running? 😂
@@whatthefitt left hand fingers are the “beads” - right hand fingers are the mysteries… at least that’s how I do it 😀
@@warren6395 🤣
My greatest experiences praying the rosary was when I set my alarm for 3am, making sure not to wake entirely from my sleep. Sit and with my eyes closed...semi awake and go through the mysteries. The point is to meditate on the mysteries and Like Bishop Barron said, the Hail Marys become like Gregorian Chant offering a shield of protection while at times, wonderful and painful times you enter into a dreamlike state and are transported into the mysteries. I recommend this for anyone who wishes to experience the rosary in a new way.
Jonathan Roumie praying the rosary for Israel while walking the streets of Paris... right after the horrendous attack by Hammas.... that was the first I heard it (I was raised Protestant). I bought a rosary, and I have been saying it daily since.
This is the way I prayed the rosary during my childhood (translated from Ukrainian) "Mother of God Virgin, rejoice, blessed Mary, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you gave birth to Christ the Savior, the Redeemer of our souls" So, I was surprised when I translated it. I used to just say the words and my mind would wander around. I like that instead of "Hail", we say "Rejoice". I had no clue the last response was so different from the English version.
I must agree with Bishop Barron. I dislike just rattling through the Rosary in around 15 minutes. It trivialises it, almost like turning a Tibetan prayer wheel.
I grew up in the same era as the good Bishop and I remember the “old people” doing the stations of the Cross.
I grew up with parents and family praying the rosary often. Particularly my mother prayed the rosary with the most sincere devotion and purpose. As far as I know none of the major intentions that we/they prayed for were ever answered. I still say the hail Mary and encourage my teenage son to say the rosary. I honestly don't know why.
No. Prayers are always answered, not in the way we sometimes expect.
It may come with the grace to cope with the problem. Ask atheist how often depressed they are , these are what a Christian do not suffer because of prayers.
@goodman4093 No prayer are not always answered. Yes sometimes other good/blessings may come about that we were not praying for but quite simply prayers are not answered. Example: people pray for end of suffering, conflict, pain, distress etc, etc and they die with suffering, conflict, pain, distress etc, etc. It can not be argued that those prayers were answered.
@user-wo7rz3yn4o if your prayers are not answered, maybe it is time for you to discern (a different form of prayer) .
For instance , prayer(mumblings of words) can not wish conflict, disaster, or wars away. In this case, discernment (prayer to action) is needed to know how to fight that battle.
Edit: during covid years, it was through prayer, I heard God the father spoke to me "eat garlic and onions" then I obeyed(action). A few hours later I was cured. AT other times when sick, I discerned I needed to visit the hospital.
Isn’t there more Catholics now in Northern Ireland than Protestants? Church is growing which is nice to see. Praying the rosary once a day makes the day better.
🙏🏻⛪️🙏🏻
In the reading for St. Martin’s memorial today, St. Paul described the qualifications forof priests: “[A]ppoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you, on condition that a man be blameless, married only once, with believing children who are not accused of licentiousness or rebellious.” Ti 1:1-9. The Amazonian bishops got it. Someday, perhaps, we will even follow Jesus’ example of appointing mature married men as bishops, successors to the Apostles.

I know the Rosary is meant to be comtemplative or focusing. Either way, to connect one better with their prayers and attention to Christ in all prayers, including those through saints. But I'm extremely distracted from prayer, from focus, by the structure and lengthiness of the effort. Except to some degree the Hail Mary portions.
Has anyone been able to complete the rosary without distraction? We have been failing miserably even though we start the rosary with a request for grace to complete the rosary without any other thoughts. Are we not entitled for such grace?
I haven’t had any success, my mind would wonder about what need to be done, ingredients I need for a recipes, thoughts about my kids just random thoughts.
I also get distracted, and get annoyed with myself because it happens. I punish myself because I feel like I’m not dedicated enough.
A priest told me what to do; make these thoughts also your intentions. (In addition to the intentions you gave at the start of the Rosary). I hope that makes sense, he was better at explaining.
I do too, and the moment I realise it, I bring myself back into the moment and ask the Holy Spirit to help.
God is merciful, let us never forget that. Peace be with you.🌹🌹🕯🕯➕

Rosary avoid all that distract us from God..sooth our minds, hearts kick out evil, allow peace flow to us to share with others. Mary prays within us.

11, minutes never in my life meet a Irish person who didn't say a rosary that didn't last at least 40 minutes. Meet Irish people who complained the hallow app rosary is missing alot of prayers😂 Priests only lasting 11 minutes might explain alot.
This woman on the video was in contact with Mary.
Where do you find the rosary in the Bible? Do any of the disciples had ever used the rosary? Rosary is a repetitive prayer and in Mathew Jesus Christ had told us how to pray which is a total contrary if praying using the rosary. There is only one way towards the Father and that is not to any one except Jesus Christ.
So can I repeat the Lord's prayer.
If so how many times.
I don't want to get into trouble.
How does the rosary not conflict with:
Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
The rosary property understood is no more vane repetition than Psalm 136. ❤
@@marymc6823 An entire religion doesn't promote the saying of Psalm 136 once or more a day.
Psalm 136 recognizes God and God alone.
Psalm 136 doesn't include the use of beads.
I notice you didn't reference Matthew 6:6 - "pray to thy FATHER"
Because meditation is the key. You don't pray the Rosary by just saying the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Fatima Prayer. You meditate on the life of Christ as you pray them. When Catholics recite the twelve prayers that form a decade of the rosary, they meditate on the mystery associated with that decade.
If they merely recite the prayers, whether vocally or silently, they’re missing the essence of the rosary. Critics, not knowing about the meditation part, imagine the rosary must be boring, uselessly repetitious, and meaningless.
It is the meditation on the mysteries that gives the rosary its staying power.
The Joyful Mysteries are these: the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), the Visitation (Luke 1:40-56), the Nativity (Luke 2:6-20), the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:21-39), and the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41-51).
Luminous Mysteries: The Baptism of the Lord (Matthew 3:13-17), The Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:1-15), Jesus’ The Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-13), The Institution of the Eucharist (Matthew 26:26-30)
Then come the Sorrowful Mysteries: the Agony in the Garden (Matt. 26:36-46), the Scourging (Matt. 27:26), the Crowning with Thorns (Matt. 27:29), the Carrying of the Cross (John 19:17), and the Crucifixion (Luke 23:33-46).
The final Mysteries are the Glorious: the Resurrection (Luke 24:1-12), the Ascension (Luke 24:50-51), the Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4), the Assumption of Mary into Heaven (Rev. 12), and her Coronation (cf. Rev. 12:1).
As you pray the Rosary, eventually it would not just become a simple and repetitive prayer.
Ps. According to Matthew 6:6, Catholics understand that true prayer is not about seeking external validation or admiration from others, but rather about having a genuine, heartfelt conversation with God. The verse warns against “practicing [one’s] piety before men in order to be seen by them” (RSVCE), as this approach yields no reward from God. By embracing this understanding of Matthew 6:6, Catholics can deepen their prayer lives and cultivate a more authentic, intimate relationship with God. What I don't understand is what is your understanding of this verse's connection to the Rosary?
@@brucedavenport7016 Psalm 136 is a hymn of thanksgiving in the Catholic tradition, attributed to King David. It is a liturgical psalm, often sung in antiphonal fashion, with a refrain that emphasizes God’s everlasting mercy. It is a rich and meaningful hymn in the Catholic tradition, praising God’s goodness, mercy, and enduring love. Its refrain, “for his steadfast love endures forever,” is a powerful expression of faith and trust, emphasizing God’s unwavering commitment to His people.
Just a little trivia about the praying with beads, the Catholic prayer beads, commonly known as the Rosary, have their roots in early Christian prayer practices. While its exact origin is unclear, historians agree that the use of beads for counting prayers dates back to the 3rd century. Christian hermits and monks in Egypt, known as Desert Fathers, used stones or prayer ropes to keep track of the 150 Psalms.
@@ladybrunette You're repeating the catholic justification for using repetitive prayer.
The Bible says don't do it.
It doesn't matter that you call it "meditation"
The rosary mentions Mary 14 times.
Matthew 6:6 says "pray to thy father"
There is no scripture that even infers you should repetitively "meditate" to the mother of the Son of God.
I find the greeting hail.mary a.bit too common
I prefer hail VIRGIN mary
It is.a better hommage
Just as in the second part of the prayer i find the words
Holy.mary
I.recite holy mother of God.pray for us etc
This is my.way of reciting the rosary
I stopped praying the rosary, because I was subjected to terrible demonic spiritual mental and even physical attacks. I stopped praying and the attacks also stopped. I would always give special attention for the release of souls in purgatory. FACT
You could have asked Our Lady and St Michael to help you. You gave in to the demon by quitting something of God to help the world

Who cares about this guy's own personal beliefs. People pray to anything to give them comfort. Faith is evidence of things not seen.
I have lost my faith years ago funny enough i have started getting interested in the psalms i was brought up protestant the rosary sound interesting but as I'm from Glasgow Scotland i would like to get my faith back i have a question for the group dose the rosary praying work if it does i might give it a try
Definitely the rosary strengthens ones faith. I don't like to pray alone, so I pray along with Bishop Barron or Kristins Crosses
Hi I think God is calling you as these thoughts don't come from nowhere. I belong to St Thomas the Apostle in Riddrie Glasgow where there are groups of people finding or renewing their faith in the Neocatechumenal Way. It brought me and my husband back to the church after many years away from Church.I'll keep you in my prayers.
@christineneil5133 thank you so much
Meditating on the Life of Jesus and praising God.... by saying the Holy Rosary is so very much rewarding. We have a Mother who wants us closer to her Son, Jesus and who prays and intercedes for us and hear our petitions. Thank you Jesus for giving us you Mother at the cross.🌹🌹🕯🕯
Praying the rosary is idolatry. God condemns Idolatry. exodus 20:4-6. The Catholic Mary and the Biblical Mary are not the same, the real Mary is dead, and the Catholic Mary is an idol, it doesn't exist, and all those apparitions are lies.
I just don’t understand where the concept of praying to Mary, or any other past Christian comes from. I don’t know of any Scripture that supports that belief. No one comes to the Father except by the Son. Jesus only gave us one model prayer to pray. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s all we pray, but it’s clear the format of prayer is to pray to the Father.

The Rosary is not a favorite of mine. I see little point of saying the same prayer fifty-three time in fifteen minutes.
Think of it this way... how many times do you like to hear the words "I love you"? Would you mind hearing them 53 times ?
The Protestants are giving us a good warning! There's a possibility of adoring Mary if you lapse into it, anything is a potential idol. See CCC pg 69 Prayer of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity.
No Catholic should be following this 3rd party videos. Go directly to the source. These videos corrupt the whole story
What?
@AndrewReynolds-e9g You should go directly to the source- bishop Barron's full video, for example. Never use a second-hand resource like this. This person is discussing only his subjective opinion. Go to the source
Jesus is grace. Mary was full of Jesus. That’s the reality for all Christians today. Jesus lives in His people covering them with grace. We go directly to the throne of grace for help in the time of need, that’s how we are told to seek in prayer. Is Mary on the throne? If not, you’re doing bad here!
But surely Mary is Miriam…why change her name…would it be due to the church ridding itself of its Jewish roots and thus growing a Greco Roman identity…The Saviour was/is a Jew…Yeshua. The anti-Semitic writings of the church fathers make appalling references to the Jews…quite shocking reading..and yet they are a covenant people and gentiles are the wild root grafted in who are warned to be humble about their position.
The true Jewish religion is the religion of Christ, not the pharisees that is now known as Judaism. Israel is the Church, the false religion of modern Jews as nothing in common with the religion of the Old Covenant except for appearances.
Of what writings do you speak? The first Christians were previously Jews, why would they speak negatively of Judaism?
@
Very good question; worth researching. All the works of the church fathers are available to read…I’d encourage you to read them. But here is just one example:
John Chrysostom
“The synagogue is worse than a brothel…it is the den of scoundrels and the repair of wild beasts…the temple of demons devoted to idolatrous cults…the refuge of brigands and dabauchees, and the cavern of devils. It is a criminal assembly of Jews…a place of meeting for the assassins of Christ… a house worse than a drinking shop…a den of thieves, a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, the refuge of devils, a gulf and a abyss of perdition."…"I would say the same things about their souls… As for me, I hate the synagogue…I hate the Jews for the same reason.”
Ironically his name means golden mouth.
You could also just look at the Wikipedia page for Antisemitism in Christianity.
@@Mercyme57 the religion of the pharisees, which is modern day Judaism, is not the religion of Jesus, it is a perversion of the true religion which was practiced by the Hebrews of the Old Covenant and is continued to be practiced by the Church established by Christ, the Catholic Church. When you understand that the religion of the Jews that the Church Fathers were writing about was a religion formed in response to Christ, in order to reject and explain away the true messiah, you'll understand that the writings of the Church Fathers are the farthest thing from antisemitism. The Church is Israel, the religion of the Old Covenant is the same religion as the Church, the Hebrews believed in Christ, and were awaiting his incarnation, scripture testifies to this fact. If you think the Church Fathers were antisemitic then you don't understand or hold the true Christian faith. The Gentiles were indeed grafted in, but Israel isn't the nation of modern Judaism, it is the nation of those who hold the true faith.
@@DJofMarysImmaculata he likely thinks the religion of the Old Covenant is the religion of modern Judaism, as many protestants mistakenly believe. They don't understand Israel is the Church.
