However, if people are ill they can of course say it in bed or if they are traveling it can be said on foot----and if infirmity prevents people kneeling it can be said seated or standing. The Rosary can even be said at work, if people's daily duties keep them at their jobs, because the work of one's hands is not by any means always incompatible with vocal prayer.<br />Of course, since the soul has its limitations and can only do so much, when we are concentrating on manual work we cannot give our undivided attention to things of the spirit, such as prayer. But when we cannot do otherwise this kind of prayer is not without value in Our Lady's eyes and she rewards our good will more than our external actions.<br />I advise you to divide up your Rosary into three parts and to say each group of mysteries (five decades) at a different time of day. This is much better than saying the whole fifteen decades all at once.<br />If you cannot find the time to say a third part of the Rosary all at one time, say it gradually, a decade here and there. I am sure you can manage this; so that, in spite of your work and all the calls upon your time, you will have said the whole Rosary before going to bed."Father Ryan Erlenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557817305024750902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-5870919928141395272010-10-08T01:39:00.263-07:002010-10-08T01:39:00.263-07:00I keep a rosary around my wrist so that any time I...I keep a rosary around my wrist so that any time I feel the need, I just start to pray, either aloud or in my heart. Just to have a rosary that has been blessed by a priest is to have special protection from negative people and from Satan. People around you might try to make you hate them they are so envious and catty; but since Mary was neither envious or catty, when you wear a rosary, you don't become like that yourself. You remain earnest and sincere and full of Mary's special love and graces. Let us all keep a rosary nearby!The Reverend Doctor Victoria A.

As I commence my day, driving only 15 minutes out of the shower, it is always hard to tame my racing mind. The devil sorely bothers me by asking me to join him in putting me down, making me feel unworthy to continue annoying our Lady with my poor attention, etc. With her help I was able to prevail, badly, through to the end, as usual. When one does the rosary, one can feel very strong malignancy come to bear, and one also then feels stronger, maternal, protective grace nearby, holding him away, like a leashed rabid dog.

When I put that together with the Rosary, reading and meditating on scripture related to each mystery, Bible in one hand, Rosary in the other so to speak, both scripture and the prayer of the Rosary became alive and powerful for me as never before.JustJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406275863936149122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-24043985922061644732010-10-07T03:16:18.986-07:002010-10-07T03:16:18.986-07:00A while back I found a scriptural Rosary.
