On July 1st I started praying the whole rosary 4 times everyday and pray the divine mercy chaplet at 3pm everyday and it is changing my life. I feel more at peace and spiritually happy!
I absolutely love this video!🥰 I’m a Catholic convert & I’ve heard so many people talk negatively about the rosary, without understanding that it is a prayer tool. Another way we talk to God & meditate on His life. Thank you so much for sharing your Rosary story!🥰 & not bashing Catholics 💖💖💖
Absolutely sister it's never an appropriate time or right to bash anybody for any reason especially if we call ourselves Christians and followers of Christ. You can always tell who is a true follower of Christ in Believer by their actions thank you so much for watching and commenting on my video here. This makes my day knowing I didn't hurt anyone feeling that is and will never be my goal. May God continue to bless you as you seek him out each day 💕✝️💕
Ditto to what you wrote! I did convert this past Easter. The Rosary is a big part of my day. Please friends, know it is a prayer reflecting on life of our Savior Jesus Christ. All biblical. Cat you are a true blessing, even more so for not bashing Catholics✝️💕💕💕✝️
Oh, Cat!!! My heart!! I had asked you on some platform or video about the rosary and I was so curious about seeing the rosary in some pics or video. I love the rosary, what prayers it stands for and how it keeps me organized and committed. I attended the classes to convert to Catholicism and learned so much, but I’ve not found the friendly Catholic community where I now live. Now due to Covid I don’t go to church and have my own routine, my favorite pastors and RUclips teachers. Thank you so very much for this VIDEO!! I promise you I JUST yesterday opened a tote bag that I carried for months about 4 years ago and my rosary was in there!! No such thing as coincidence!! Oh this is gonna climb to the top of my Favorite Cat Video collection. Much love to you, sis 💐🦋
I see Jesus in every bead! In the Rosary I find the precious life of our savior, and it is a treasure. We should not feel judged for praying with our hearts. I was raised Catholic, today I am Christian and I still love the Rosary. Cat thank you for sharing this video!
This makes me so happy - often I dont mention my Catholic faith or the rosary as I tend to get attacked so I am happy to find this little group where we all accept many ways to talk to and reach God. I am trying to learn and spend more time in my bible now with bible journaling . Mary has become special to me even more after losing both my parents - she always takes me home to Jesus and keeps me focused on God. This video and the responses of others just lifts my heart.. Thank you
Your welcome sis you can come join my Facebook group... Sisters Created Journey Through the Word with Cat Woods: facebook.com/groups/1391132750977735/?ref=share You will find amazing girls who have a like minded view. I hope to see you there. Please make sure to share my channel & group with others you feel may also enjoy my videos too
@@catwoods5499 I already joined your beautiful group and I love your style of bible journaling. I did my first page in my new(second hand) bible. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing with us all. Love from New Zealand.
What a great video Cat! I'm in the EXACT same boat as you about the hubby situation and the church situation. Also, read about praying the rosary, its truly powerful. Each decade (10 beads) is spent reflecting on part of the life of Jesus. The Nativity, crucifixion, miracles He did.. there are different sets prayed on different days, the Sorrowful mysteries, joyful, glorious, and luminous. I'm not officially Catholic but I've been praying the rosary for YEARS and it's changed my prayer life. I set a prayer intention each time I pray the rosary, it's truly amazing!
Oh the responds I am getting on this video is so amazing. I mean wow I was worried for nothing. I will totally look up more about the Rosary sister you know me I just adore knowledge and learning all I can. It just takes me some time because I have to learn it all on my own. And I'm not the smartest crayon on the box as we all know 😉😂 thank u for all your love and support xoxo
I love the heart God has given Cat. Just listening to God and staying close to His word. Trust the Lord with your husbands that way everything will happen at the appointed time. We serve a good and very kind God!
Your simple, childlike faith is beautiful and also convicting for me. "I'm a child of God." Amen. Simple as that. Thank you for sharing Cat. God bless you.
Cat, I can also completely relate to the husband part... Church has been a struggle in our family. May I ask, what do you do to teach your kids when you don't go to church? Do you just read to them? I'd love to see a video on this if you're willing. Just an idea :) thanks! ❤️🤗
@@rachel0130 my kids are now grown so they study the bible on the own now 😂😉however when they were little they went to church... when they came home and through the week we would sit down and discuss what they learned on Sunday. And memorizing verses was a must have each day. We all took turns on which ones we would read next. My best advice I can give you is You know your children so you will know what would be best of them. Rather that's reading a verse each day and sitting down for a few minutes to discuss it. Or if they can handle full chapter study times or character studies etc. Just pray and ask the Lord to help guide you through His Holy Spirit on what is best for your family. I'll be praying for you on this quest. Just don't doubt whenever you have an opportunity or idea to share with your children because there will be times like that and that's not from God. Oh and never ever fight with your husband over anything about God most importantly never in front of the kids. I was really hurt on my Spiritual Walk because this was my childhood so I swore my kids would never see that. Whatever my husband says go. Only thing you can do is pray about it and give it to God. Because He already has a plan for your family 💕✝️💕🙏
I'm grateful that you made this video. I loved this video! I'm with you when you say that you're not of a denomination, YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD! Personally I am born Catholic and attend regularly a "Catholic" church BUT Most of my teaching and understanding has come from watching sermons on You tube and personally reading and devouring Christian books. We are all Christian, or better said Children of God. The hostility among Catholic vs. Protestant is man made and I don't have time for that. I want my time invested in God. Wherever I can feed on more Christ like knowledge the better. Why limit ourselves? Keep absorbing Jesus like an infinite sponge and allow no one to wring you out EVER! May God bless you always!
Love your message!! I’m not Catholic either, still investigating and growing my faithful life! I’m beginning the Rosary and Divine Mercy. They are beautiful prayers🙏🏼🌻🌻🌻🙏🏼
on the pearl Rosary, the crucifix is called a Pardon Crucifix with triple threat medals...on the sides of the cross is the medal of St. Benedict and the Miraculous Medal of Mary....both very powerful medals...the Pardon Crucifix will help you confess your sins to God and help you receive his forgiveness...if you want to look up more about those specific medals, look up the medals I talked about and the specific uses for that medal.....God bless you way in getting closer to the LORD!!! the Hail Marys are prayed for a decade and each mystery is a specific event that happened in Jesus' life....there are 4 different decade prayer sets: Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous and Glorious....all from the Bible and the life of Jesus!!! you can pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet on the Rosary also, meditating on Jesus' Passion!!!
Do you ever say the " Jesus Prayer " On your Rosary ? " Jesus , Son of God the Father , have mercy on me , a sinner " It is an Eastern Orthodox prayer.
Great video and testimony! ”And now let me speak to the wives. Be devoted to your own husbands, so that even if some of them do not obey the Word of God, your kind conduct may win them over without you saying a thing. For when they observe your pure, godly life before God, it will impact them deeply. 1st Peter 3:1-2 Your testimony is an example of this scripture. Blessings!
This just melted my heart and so encouraging to hear. I will continue to pray for my husband and pray that I will continue to be a Shining Servant of Christ for him and all those I come to know. 🙏💜
I went to Rome about 20 years ago. I wish I would have bought a riser when I was there. I’m not catholic so I thought I shouldn’t have one. The more I have grown through my walk with God I realize it is ok to have one. It’s only beads. I’m not going to pray to them I pray to God through Jesus and that’s what matters! Keep doing what your doing! Your an amazing sister in Christ. I love your videos!
Angie Dhans I’m not Catholic, but years ago I went to a second hand store and found the most beautiful rosary I have ever seen. It reminded me if the beauty of my Grandma. I bought it. It is so beautiful.
I also have several rosaries, and not catholic. The reason is when my niece was 6, she began talking about Mary...a lot. We went to a fair at Mary Queen of Heaven school. A 6yr old did not want candy, or to ride rides, but to walk to the front of the grounds and sit at a fountain that had a statue of Mary. I had a catholic friend who bought a beautiful rosary and had it blessed for me. I think it is a beautiful prayer tool. I adore catholic art and chapels. Anything that can bring my heart and mind to remember Jesus died for me adds value to my spiritual life. Thanks for sharing. Great topic!
I love your videos . I am catholic but I still watch your videos. The rosary is a bible .. how ? It’s not wrong at all that you have a rosary. The rosary has mysteries for which each decade is the life of Christ... it’s beautiful. Research on prayer of the rosary..... I agree that you don’t have to be any religious group . I think that you would love the prayers of the rosary.
I mean it's like a bible in the way you can say a verse over each bead etc... mainly it's just another (tool) for our Spiritual walk to help us grow our relationship stronger & closer to God 🖊📖📿💜
I’ve been praying a Rosary, and have had beads, for many years now. I am Anglican, (that’s Church of England) and have Anglican Rosary Beads, but they do not differ greatly to Catholic Rosaries. They are a wonderful prayer tool. Your video was very moving for its honesty and the way you spoke of your life.
I love this video ! When I see or hold a rosary I think of prayers from my family! My Mother's side of the family was Catholic and I spent a lot of time with them. So I learned the Rosary at an early age. But I was actually raised Methodist . I came to a cross roads in my early 20s. I use the Rosary as a tool as a tool as well. I hear the voices of my family praying with me and feel the peace of God pour over me ! I love your video's even though I could be your Grandma ! 63 and blessed ! God bless you sister !
I also use prayer ropes and bracelets to help me focus on certain prayers. Same with my husband sis, he also is watching me and I do pray for him, and we see those little changes. And every step is important. God sees each person's struggle and I'm with you on not forcing or imposing on your husband to go to church. He is the head and even my spiritual father told me not to force my husband to go, but to pray to God to soften his heart. Love you sis!
The rosary is a tool to help you focus on prayer. It's 5 decades. One our father bead and 10 hail Mary's. I do a rosary 6 days a week. It brings me peace.
I am not Catholic and do not pray THE Rosary (Mary related) but I do use A rosary in my prayer life. Prayer beads are not only for Roman Catholics. It is so useful for memorization, keeping track of those for whom I pray, etc.
I was raised Catholic. I grew up praying the rosary from my first holy communion, but when I left Catholicism in my late teens I stopped praying the rosary. Twenty years later I've become a protestant Christian. I loved the rosary, but thought it "wasn't for me" as a non Catholic. You've inspired me to get a rosary and start praying on it. Something others may find spiritually helpful is praying from the Book of Common Prayer.
That's beautiful! I am so happy your open and just truly seeking the Lord! I am Catholic and so many people misunderstand our devotions and I'm so glad your open. Cause the rosary is reflection on the scriptures so nobody should have a problem with it. So I pray the Lord bless you and keep you and speak blessings on others through you! Amen Alleluia
Awe thank you so much beautiful for your kind words and support here. This truly means the world to me. I wish more people could be as kind and as sweet as you. I see christ reflection in you. May God bless you abundantly ✍📖📚📿🙏
I was always told you had to be that's one of the main reasons why I felt so bad. But I felt so happy whenever I seen it's like me Spirit always knew I needed it. Thank you for watching sis and for loving me no matter what xoxo
@@catwoods5499 I always encourage people to pray the Rosary. Catholics, and non-Catholics. Did you know that Rosary is Latin for Crown of Roses? Very fitting since your word is Bloom ;) I even hold my Rosary when praying other prayers and even when not praying. When I'm having anxiety attacks, I'll grab one of my many Rosaries and hold it, running my fingers over the beads, the Crucifix, and the center while doing deep breathing. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
@@readyourbible4315 well it's a good thing I'm not worried about what you think. Each Mystery of the Rosary is Scripture. Hail in the context of the Hail Mary means Hello. Not I worship you. That would be idolatry.
Wow Cat, great video! I am 100% certain Satan did not want you to post this video, because of exactly what you said: it is a powerful tool to encourage prayer. All those things Catholics collect around themselves - medals, statues, pictures, Rosaries, Holy Water - they're called "sacramentals" and they're sort of the religious equivalent to a wedding ring or holding on to a beloved's shirt while they're away. They're meant to encourage & excite devotion, dedication and holy thinking, they help remind us God is with us and to speak to Him! Then, on top of that, it has the medal of St. Benedict! The letters around the back of it stand for some Latin phrases that denounce Satan: V.R.S.N.S.M.V.-- S.M.Q.L.I.V.B, "Vade Retro Satana (Begone Satan) Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana (Never Suggest Vain Things to Me)", and "Sunt Mala Quae Libas (What You Offer Me is Evil) Ipse Venena Bibas (Drink your own Poison)". So you've got this awesome tool that not only encourages prayer and devotion, but also has a rebuke against Satan written across it! You may or may not have known what those letters meant, but he sure did!! God bless you Cat!
Oh thank you so so very much for coming here with a open heart and mind. Best of all bless you for helping me learn something more about the Rosary. I truly was worried and had my sisters praying over me as I made this video I didn't want to hurt anyone feels. So to hear you speak out like this has truly given me the strength to overcome Satan and continue to seek out more knowledge. May God bless you for this. I will be praying for you that your prayers will be answered 📿🙏📚💜
I just started following you and I am just now listening to you. Thank you. What I think of is the Blessed Virgin Mary. I was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school through 8th grade. I have been active in the Lutheran church for almost 30 years. I understand what you are saying about growth. Thank you for sharing.
My Dad’s family are Protestant. My Mom’s family are Catholic. My Dad’s sister went to Ireland and brought me back a beautiful Rosary. That was 35 years ago. I still have that Rosary. I treasure it. My dear Aunt died of Parkinson’s disease 15 years ago but I have the beautiful Rosary to remember her by and pray with.
My husband and I aren't Catholic but a gal that worked with my husband went to Ireland and had a Rosary made for him. It's beautiful. He keeps it in our china closet so nothing happens to it.
Just converting to Catholicism. That means universal Christian. We are all Christians. The rosary is not in the Bible but the Bible is in the rosary. The rosary was started many years ago for lay persons to help them pray. Monks used to recite the psalms daily, but this was too much for working people or people that couldn't read. So meditation and sitting with God praying Christ Jesus have mercy on my soul, helped. Then they said the Lords prayer . Jesus tells us to pray this prayer. Please know you absolutely right. Praying with it is just a tool. Enjoy. May God richly bless you and your husband 🙏 ❤ Love your videos. Keep shining that light my beautiful Christian sister Xxx
Thank you for sharing this Cat. You are an inspiration and I have grown so much in my own walk through what I have learned watching your videos. I am not Catholic and I have a rosary....it’s a Protestant rosary. It’s made a little differently and to be honest, I just follow my own path on how I pray with it. For me, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a rosary or prayer beads, or even the denomination of the rosary....the important thing is that I am praying and connecting with God through using it. Your rosary with the beads with the roses in them is absolutely beautiful...and so are you! Thank you for sharing your journey.❤️🙂🌸🦋
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm a member of the Progressive Catholic Church and a novice religious sister in the Congregation of Franciscan Servants. Your assertion that you are God's Child - NOT just a denomination - is precisely the belief that leads me to pursue my Catholic upbringing in a new way and incorporate teachings, prayer practices, and habits from a variety of other denominations. I've been watching a lot of your videos (I collect Bibles too haha!) and I just want to tell you that you are such a calming, holy presence. Thank you for making this video even though you were nervous and encouraging us to remember that we are ALL Christians, in need of prayer and habits that will help us to grow. No one owns any type of prayer or practice.
Cat, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. I have found peace and enthuthiasm by reading the Bible. I have bought the bibles you have reviewed and it has opened up a joyous new world for me. That has been inspired by your videos 100%. The rosary is a beautiful prayer for anyone. Keep sharing. Love and prayers from the UK. ❤❤❤
Awwww really.... this makes me so happy to hear. I work really hard to get God's word out there. Most of all I want to bless you all with the same excitment and passion that I have 🖊📖🥰
GOD bless you, Cat. I am not Catholic either (I'm Messianic, but that's not important! No denomination completely describes my nearly 70-year walk with my precious JESUS.), but I have had a deep devotion to our Holy Mother Mary since I was a little girl. I've created a 7-day Scriptural Rosary that has sooo very much blest my life, and helps keep me in the Bible everyday. "JESUS's mommy" as I knew her when I was little, loves us so much! I understand your hesitancy, but bless you, Hon, please don't worry about what to share; if you feel the LORD wants you to share, then go ahead. Your job is to share... then whoever hears it, it's then their responsibility to accept it or not. As our Holy Mother tells us, we are to "do whatever He tells you to do" - that's our job, our responsibility. Once it's out there (released/planted), it's then up to others to accept or reject. We are all discerning, learning, experiencing, growing. In addition, you are totally right about going or not to church. My hubby (who is a wonderful Christian) doesn't go to church either (we've been married 49 years), but does't mind if I go. (Right now I'm going two blocks down the street to this sweet little Episcopal church that has a wonderful, Bible-preaching paster.) Also, the Rosary reminds me instantly of prayer, same as you. I especially love pink roses, so your Rosary is so beautiful and such a blessing to me! And the aptly-named "triple threat" crucifix is one of my favorites, too, for many reasons, but especially because it incorporates Holy Mother Mary, and also the wonder saying on the back: "Behold the Heart of JESUS which loves us so much!" I also love the saying on the Sacred Heart protection medal, "Cease! The Heart of JESUS is with me!" What a powerful declaration! Dear one, I will add you to my daily prayer list. What a blessing you are - GOD's great, good gift. I've never seen a vid of yours that I didn't like; but this has got to be (so far) my absolute favorite - not only of all your vids, but, no exaggeration, of any of the vids I've watched on U-Tube for years! Thank you so much for your vids, your courage, your ministry, your love, and your faithfulness to follow and obey our precious LORD at any cost. Love and prayers, Linny
I collect them and hang them around my home. I feel they're beautiful and when I look at them I think of God. Jesus and Mary...how beautiful together. I do also feel protection having them hang around my home.
Cat, your video brought tears to my eyes..you and I are so alike that I didn't realize until now...our husbands..not going to church...etc...I have so much more respect for you than I ever have before...and the one thing I love the most about you is you not caring what others think or say and only caring what our Father has to say about things!!! Love you girl!!!! Keep up being real!!!
Oh girl I wish I was that strong and I can say (oh no I don't care what others say) because I do something I can't help it. What's worse Satan will use that against me too. However I know I am surrounded by so many so many amazing people who help keep my strong in my Faith in believing God knows all things and sees all things. Best of all we have each other to remind one another that we are beautiful daughters of the King. Thank you so much for watching sis I love you to pieces xoxo
When I was a young girl, I was given my first (and only) rosary. As I grew up, I often had it in my pocket and when I wanted to sense God close to me, I would hold it. Then one day, someone came along and expressed their belief, and I haven't had another one since. Thank you for sharing!!
I’d suggest you try praying with the Jesus Prayer, it’s an Orthodox practice but myself and other Catholics pray it also. I know some non-Catholics can feel reluctant to pray the rosary, but i believe the Jesus prayer could be easier for you guys.
This is an awesome video. When I first accepted Jesus in to my life I didn't go to church at first I use to read the word I use to watch Joyce Myers and other preachers on t.v. It took me 10 years before I found a church to go to. I enjoyed spending time with God he is awesome. I love your videos do what is best for you its between you and God. May God bless you always ❤🌷
I don’t have a rosary but I do use prayer beads or what some people call worry beads. I’m sure I don’t use them like other people do but I have my own way to use them to help me pray and be aware that God is with me and it’s time to acknowledge him. I’m drawn to pretty things that remind me to be aware of God in my life everyday all the time. Your rosary is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I've heard of worry beads and gratitude beads to that's another reason why I made this video just to bring more attention to others seeking more out there like I am. Thank u for watching xoxo
Thank you for this video Cat, SO much! You are such an inspiration to me. God has used you to strengthen my walk with Him, and I am sending you hugs. 💕
Great video!!! I love your faith. You are so encouraging and bring excitement into learning more about God. I have watched you for a couple of years and I love your channel. You just keep following God’s lead❣️ You have a beautiful soul!💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing part of your story!! I love how transparent you are and down to earth. You’re super sweet and nothing but honest every single time. Keep doing what you’re doing and shut the door on the enemy EVERY SINGLE TIME!! So proud of you!!
CAT, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. AS A CHILD I ALWAYS LOVED THE LOOK AND FEEL OF ROSARY. BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT FOR "US", THAT FOR THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE.. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THEM. SEEING WHAT SPEAKS TO ME. TO ME THE CROSS REPRESENTS THE LOVE THAT WAS GIVEN FOR ME...US.
Thanks cat! I was raised Baptist now non-denominational and I’ve had rosary beads for about 25 years! I don’t believe in praying to any saint or Mary but I enjoy their beauty!! I too LOVE reading and collecting bibles! I have been reading and studying Gods word since I was 9 I’m about to turn 56 on the 24! I never tire of learning about God , prayer and praising Him!! I often walk away from my bible time as if I just consumed a delicious delectable feast!! I savor His word!!!! Praying for you and your husband!!!
Thanks Cat, I do not have a church that I go to but my grandchildren and I have our own worship every Sunday morning. They read the bible and explain what it means to them. I do the same thing. My father's family was catholic we never went to the church but my grandchildren and I pray the Rosary from beginning to end with each bead because this is how we like to pray. My sister, you do what is best for you. I follow you because you were saying something that I wanted to hear. I'm not good with the drawing and fanciness in the bible but that's still good, I use highlighter s. Thank you for sharing you and your walk with the Lord.
Thank you so much for sharing your information here I am clueless and very will to learn and understand this is the only way I can better understand anything right!? May God bless you always
Cat, I love you and I am not anyone’s judge. I had a rosemary many years ago. I am like you. I follow Jesus Christ and that is the main thing. Thank you for sharing your faith in God and Jesus Christ. I love you.
Beautiful rosary’s. Where did you get the rose one it’s gorgeous. I use Anglican rosaries and I’m not Anglican . Use what ever gets you in the mood and sets the tone. I am a believer I don’t go to church and I am disabled widow ,so I spend most of my day studying the word. The Bible is Jesus talking to me and if I want to hear Jesus I read the Bible out loud
Cat you are right about the rosary. I pray with them and I am not Catholic and I even pray the Saints and prayers . A priest told me many years ago it is ok to pray the rosary and Saints. Anyway you feel in your heart that We show God we want to be closer to him. Saints I have a few I like so much there prayers.. You are helping more than you know. God is smiling!!! Glad you did this video!!!!!
Some info to share ....if you research on amazon or the internet...search “ scriptural rosary how to pray “... I shared with my friends for which they are from different religion beliefs or in their own walk ...and have come to love how to pray the rosary
Cat Woods your pearl Rosary crucifix is an triple threat crucifix which is an Pardon Crucifix with an Miraculous Medal and a St Benedict medal I'm not an Catholic but I do pray the Rosary.
i’m so happy to have seen this video recommended to me i truly appreciate you making this video. i recently thought to myself about trying a rosary and learning more about it but i’m not catholic and i didn’t know if it was ok to use or how to or anything but i’m glad to see it’s ok to own one without having to be a certain type of christian ❤️❤️❤️
I love you and all your videos! I am with you in your walk with God and the path it leads you. Remember...You do you. It's your path, not anyone else's. Please continue to motivate me and I know many others in your walk with God. TFS
Hi Cat! I never thought of using rosary as a tool! What a great idea! I’ve had one for 30 years and have never used it! My husband is also a non-believer but is open to my spiritual journey. I’m hoping to plant some seeds in him too! Thanks for giving me hope! Blessing to you and your family 😊
That Rose rosary is lovely!! Where did you get it? I have several rosaries and grew up in the Baptist Church, then converted to the Catholic Church, now I’m back in the Baptist Church but I still pray the rosary. The way I understand it, we pray WITH Mary to her Son, Jesus and we meditate on different parts of scripture. Love it. Thanks for sharing about this. 💚🙏🏻
I absolutely love your openness and love for God! As for the Rosary, I have always thought they were beautiful and a great reminder of what Jesus did for all of us. Not being a catholic I have never owned a rosary. I would always wear a cross around my neck for many many years and would hold it when I was struggling or saying a prayer. Definitely realizing now over the last 20 years of not having it that I need to watch for God’s direction to replace it. Thank you so much for sharing 💝
Cat, thanks so much for sharing this video. I love this idea of the rosary as a reminder to pray. I am not Catholic either and I, too, am a child of God. I have no idea what the rosary was created for but I think it is a great tool to include in my prayers. God bless you!
Hi Cat I am new to your channel and I am learning a lot from them. You are just like me I love writing everything I see in my study that will help me remember when I come a cross it again, Thank you for being so honest with us. You do you that is how I live my life after always worry about what everybody thinks or say about my way of doing things. So You Go Girl. God Bless
Thank you for sharing this video it's amazing.I'm exactly in the same situation my husband is a non-believer, he is slowly having interest in the Bible/God. But he know how much I love God and seeking him. my husband always ask what I want from birthday or Christmas, my answer is a bible, 😁😍. I grew up in a Christian home. I was baptized as a Catholic . But I stopped going to Catholic Church, middle School to high school I started going to church with my mother at Nazarene church and that's where I learned a lot more. I still struggle with a spiritual battles, and my grandmother who is the Catholic always asks me what kind of Christian am. And the rosary I still don't know enough about it I do have one in each my room. . Thank you again for sharing and always encouraging.
I’m so thankful for you cause you have inspired me so much and I happy for you and thank you for sharing your journey love love it and I love your rose beads they are so beautiful and they are blooming so beautiful and every time I see your Bible they just truly inspire me and it help me to read and study for my walk on my journey with the Heavenly Father you are a blessing and I’m thankful too you sister you are planting seeds love love it my dear sweet sister and friend have a great wonderful amazing night ❤️🛡🙌🏾📝🌱📝🌱📝🌱💕💕
You are a child of God. You are blessing His children in fellowship. Most importantly you are doing a great job about the Fathers business. Keep pressing
Great video Cat. I to own a rosary and I’m a Evangelical/Pentecostal Christian. I use the rosary as a prayer tool as well, I’ve adapted it by cutting out the Hail Marys and pray the Apostles Creed, the Our Father, I quote 1 Corinthians 13 and meditate on the 3 theological virtues: faith, hope and love, I pray the Jesus prayer, I say the Glory Be prayer and I pray the Magnificat. I also meditate on the 20 mysteries at each corresponding decade: the joyful, the luminous, the sorrowful and glorious mysteries. Praying the rosary is not vain repetition as you are praying scripture and meditating on the life of Christ; and as you know the Word of God is living and Holy Spirit inspired so the Lord can speak to you and give fresh revelation each time you meditate on the prayers and mysteries, so definitely not vain! It helps me with my walk and I love it!
Thank you for listening and and jumping straight to assuming or Judgment. Most importantly actually taking the time to watch the full video. May God bless you always
I’m not Catholic and I’ve always viewed the rosary as a man made thing but I really appreciate the way you use yours. Thanks for making this video Cat; love your heart.
Hello Cat! I am not Catholic I am a born again Bible based Christian. I also have a beautiful collection of rosaries. For me , it reminds me that Jesus died on the Cross for the forgiveness of our sins! I He is Lord & Savior! If you want to use it as a tool for your prayer life God sees your heart and your intentions. I sometimes do the same. It is your walk with the Jesus Christ that matters not what people say or think. Many Blessings to You and your family!! Love your videos!!🎚🙏😇💕💕💕
Thank you so much sis for watching and supporting my ministry I greatly appreciate it. It's not always an easy walk. But...but this path into God's heavenly Kingdom and loving arms has not only saved my life but my soul too. It's truly amazing. 🙏📿👑🎶🧚♂️
On July 1st I started praying the whole rosary 4 times everyday and pray the divine mercy chaplet at 3pm everyday and it is changing my life. I feel more at peace and spiritually happy!
Awesome
What is a divine mercy chaplet?
I absolutely love this video!🥰 I’m a Catholic convert & I’ve heard so many people talk negatively about the rosary, without understanding that it is a prayer tool. Another way we talk to God & meditate on His life. Thank you so much for sharing your Rosary story!🥰 & not bashing Catholics 💖💖💖
Absolutely sister it's never an appropriate time or right to bash anybody for any reason especially if we call ourselves Christians and followers of Christ. You can always tell who is a true follower of Christ in Believer by their actions thank you so much for watching and commenting on my video here. This makes my day knowing I didn't hurt anyone feeling that is and will never be my goal. May God continue to bless you as you seek him out each day 💕✝️💕
Ditto to what you wrote! I did convert this past Easter. The Rosary is a big part of my day. Please friends, know it is a prayer reflecting on life of our Savior Jesus Christ. All biblical. Cat you are a true blessing, even more so for not bashing Catholics✝️💕💕💕✝️
Oh, Cat!!! My heart!! I had asked you on some platform or video about the rosary and I was so curious about seeing the rosary in some pics or video. I love the rosary, what prayers it stands for and how it keeps me organized and committed. I attended the classes to convert to Catholicism and learned so much, but I’ve not found the friendly Catholic community where I now live. Now due to Covid I don’t go to church and have my own routine, my favorite pastors and RUclips teachers. Thank you so very much for this VIDEO!! I promise you I JUST yesterday opened a tote bag that I carried for months about 4 years ago and my rosary was in there!! No such thing as coincidence!! Oh this is gonna climb to the top of my Favorite Cat Video collection. Much love to you, sis 💐🦋
Another thing Demons fear the rosary, one of the most powerful weapons against evil
Amen 🙏📿💜
I see Jesus in every bead! In the Rosary I find the precious life of our savior, and it is a treasure. We should not feel judged for praying with our hearts. I was raised Catholic, today I am Christian and I still love the Rosary. Cat thank you for sharing this video!
This makes me so happy - often I dont mention my Catholic faith or the rosary as I tend to get attacked so I am happy to find this little group where we all accept many ways to talk to and reach God. I am trying to learn and spend more time in my bible now with bible journaling . Mary has become special to me even more after losing both my parents - she always takes me home to Jesus and keeps me focused on God. This video and the responses of others just lifts my heart.. Thank you
Your welcome sis you can come join my Facebook group... Sisters Created Journey Through the Word with Cat Woods:

You will find amazing girls who have a like minded view. I hope to see you there. Please make sure to share my channel & group with others you feel may also enjoy my videos too
@@catwoods5499 I already joined your beautiful group and I love your style of bible journaling. I did my first page in my new(second hand) bible. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing with us all. Love from New Zealand.
Yeah I'm glad to hear sorry way too many sisters for me to keep track of.
What a great video Cat! I'm in the EXACT same boat as you about the hubby situation and the church situation. Also, read about praying the rosary, its truly powerful. Each decade (10 beads) is spent reflecting on part of the life of Jesus. The Nativity, crucifixion, miracles He did.. there are different sets prayed on different days, the Sorrowful mysteries, joyful, glorious, and luminous. I'm not officially Catholic but I've been praying the rosary for YEARS and it's changed my prayer life. I set a prayer intention each time I pray the rosary, it's truly amazing!
Oh the responds I am getting on this video is so amazing. I mean wow I was worried for nothing. I will totally look up more about the Rosary sister you know me I just adore knowledge and learning all I can. It just takes me some time because I have to learn it all on my own. And I'm not the smartest crayon on the box as we all know 😉😂 thank u for all your love and support xoxo
@@catwoods5499 I always say I studied my way to the Catholic church lol!
I love the heart God has given Cat. Just listening to God and staying close to His word. Trust the Lord with your husbands that way everything will happen at the appointed time. We serve a good and very kind God!
Your simple, childlike faith is beautiful and also convicting for me. "I'm a child of God." Amen. Simple as that. Thank you for sharing Cat. God bless you.
Thank you so much for your support here and watching my videos I greatly appreciated it. 💕✝️💕
Cat, I can also completely relate to the husband part... Church has been a struggle in our family. May I ask, what do you do to teach your kids when you don't go to church? Do you just read to them? I'd love to see a video on this if you're willing. Just an idea :) thanks! ❤️🤗
@@rachel0130 my kids are now grown so they study the bible on the own now 😂😉however when they were little they went to church... when they came home and through the week we would sit down and discuss what they learned on Sunday. And memorizing verses was a must have each day. We all took turns on which ones we would read next.
My best advice I can give you is You know your children so you will know what would be best of them. Rather that's reading a verse each day and sitting down for a few minutes to discuss it. Or if they can handle full chapter study times or character studies etc. Just pray and ask the Lord to help guide you through His Holy Spirit on what is best for your family. I'll be praying for you on this quest. Just don't doubt whenever you have an opportunity or idea to share with your children because there will be times like that and that's not from God. Oh and never ever fight with your husband over anything about God most importantly never in front of the kids. I was really hurt on my Spiritual Walk because this was my childhood so I swore my kids would never see that. Whatever my husband says go. Only thing you can do is pray about it and give it to God. Because He already has a plan for your family 💕✝️💕🙏
Cat woods amen, thank you so much sister! Great advice, what you said spoke to my heart. I appreciate it so much. 🙏🏻💕😄
I'm grateful that you made this video. I loved this video! I'm with you when you say that you're not of a denomination, YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD! Personally I am born Catholic and attend regularly a "Catholic" church BUT Most of my teaching and understanding has come from watching sermons on You tube and personally reading and devouring Christian books. We are all Christian, or better said Children of God. The hostility among Catholic vs. Protestant is man made and I don't have time for that. I want my time invested in God. Wherever I can feed on more Christ like knowledge the better. Why limit ourselves? Keep absorbing Jesus like an infinite sponge and allow no one to wring you out EVER! May God bless you always!
Love your message!! I’m not Catholic either, still investigating and growing my faithful life! I’m beginning the Rosary and Divine Mercy. They are beautiful prayers🙏🏼🌻🌻🌻🙏🏼
I seen a few that are very beautiful indeed thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciate your support and kindness 🙏🧎♀️😇
on the pearl Rosary, the crucifix is called a Pardon Crucifix with triple threat medals...on the sides of the cross is the medal of St. Benedict and the Miraculous Medal of Mary....both very powerful medals...the Pardon Crucifix will help you confess your sins to God and help you receive his forgiveness...if you want to look up more about those specific medals, look up the medals I talked about and the specific uses for that medal.....God bless you way in getting closer to the LORD!!! the Hail Marys are prayed for a decade and each mystery is a specific event that happened in Jesus' life....there are 4 different decade prayer sets: Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous and Glorious....all from the Bible and the life of Jesus!!! you can pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet on the Rosary also, meditating on Jesus' Passion!!!
Do you ever say the " Jesus Prayer " On your Rosary ?
" Jesus , Son of God the Father , have mercy on me , a sinner "
It is an Eastern Orthodox prayer.
I have a rosary and a prayer rope! I love them!❤️
Im not Catholic either but I do love rosary. I think anything that is used to bring you closer in your walk is fine.
Great video and testimony!
”And now let me speak to the wives. Be devoted to your own husbands, so that even if some of them do not obey the Word of God, your kind conduct may win them over without you saying a thing. For when they observe your pure, godly life before God, it will impact them deeply. 1st Peter 3:1-2
Your testimony is an example of this scripture.
Blessings!
This just melted my heart and so encouraging to hear. I will continue to pray for my husband and pray that I will continue to be a Shining Servant of Christ for him and all those I come to know. 🙏💜
I went to Rome about 20 years ago. I wish I would have bought a riser when I was there. I’m not catholic so I thought I shouldn’t have one. The more I have grown through my walk with God I realize it is ok to have one. It’s only beads. I’m not going to pray to them I pray to God through Jesus and that’s what matters! Keep doing what your doing! Your an amazing sister in Christ. I love your videos!
Angie Dhans I’m not Catholic, but years ago I went to a second hand store and found the most beautiful rosary I have ever seen. It reminded me if the beauty of my Grandma. I bought it. It is so beautiful.
What beautiful rosaries. The rosary is very powerful. And for anyone who may worry about the Hail Mary prayer... every line is from Luke 1. God bless.
I also have several rosaries, and not catholic. The reason is when my niece was 6, she began talking about Mary...a lot. We went to a fair at Mary Queen of Heaven school. A 6yr old did not want candy, or to ride rides, but to walk to the front of the grounds and sit at a fountain that had a statue of Mary. I had a catholic friend who bought a beautiful rosary and had it blessed for me. I think it is a beautiful prayer tool. I adore catholic art and chapels. Anything that can bring my heart and mind to remember Jesus died for me adds value to my spiritual life. Thanks for sharing. Great topic!
I love your videos . I am catholic but I still watch your videos. The rosary is a bible .. how ? It’s not wrong at all that you have a rosary. The rosary has mysteries for which each decade is the life of Christ... it’s beautiful. Research on prayer of the rosary..... I agree that you don’t have to be any religious group . I think that you would love the prayers of the rosary.
I mean it's like a bible in the way you can say a verse over each bead etc... mainly it's just another (tool) for our Spiritual walk to help us grow our relationship stronger & closer to God
🖊📖📿💜
I enjoyed your video. The Rosary is a beautiful prayer. The history of prayer is so interesting. I love the Rosary too.
I added the Rosary to my prayer life this last year and WOW!! I love praying it. It has changed my life.
Really thank you for sharing I am so excited to hear I am not the only one. God bless you 🙏📿📚
Thank you so much for your help..it says more than you will ever realize
I’ve been praying a Rosary, and have had beads, for many years now. I am Anglican, (that’s Church of England) and have Anglican Rosary Beads, but they do not differ greatly to Catholic Rosaries. They are a wonderful prayer tool. Your video was very moving for its honesty and the way you spoke of your life.
I love this video ! When I see or hold a rosary I think of prayers from my family! My Mother's side of the family was Catholic and I spent a lot of time with them. So I learned the Rosary at an early age. But I was actually raised Methodist . I came to a cross roads in my early 20s. I use the Rosary as a tool as a tool as well. I hear the voices of my family praying with me and feel the peace of God pour over me ! I love your video's even though I could be your Grandma ! 63 and blessed ! God bless you sister !
I also use prayer ropes and bracelets to help me focus on certain prayers. Same with my husband sis, he also is watching me and I do pray for him, and we see those little changes. And every step is important. God sees each person's struggle and I'm with you on not forcing or imposing on your husband to go to church. He is the head and even my spiritual father told me not to force my husband to go, but to pray to God to soften his heart. Love you sis!
God will continue to work on our husbands as we continue to grow and learn. I'm so excited to hear I'm not alone on this prayer walk sister 💜📿🙏
I have really enjoyed your video. You are so open and honest and non judgemental. Keep up the great work. God bless you!
The rosary is a tool to help you focus on prayer. It's 5 decades. One our father bead and 10 hail Mary's. I do a rosary 6 days a week. It brings me peace.
Thank you for sharing your story and a part of your walk. Your transparency is helping people.
I am not Catholic and do not pray THE Rosary (Mary related) but I do use A rosary in my prayer life. Prayer beads are not only for Roman Catholics. It is so useful for memorization, keeping track of those for whom I pray, etc.
Not only Catholics can pray the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary and thus everyone is encouraged to pray the Rosary.🙏❤️
I was raised Catholic. I grew up praying the rosary from my first holy communion, but when I left Catholicism in my late teens I stopped praying the rosary. Twenty years later I've become a protestant Christian. I loved the rosary, but thought it "wasn't for me" as a non Catholic. You've inspired me to get a rosary and start praying on it.
Something others may find spiritually helpful is praying from the Book of Common Prayer.
I have the same exact rosary love it !!
That's beautiful! I am so happy your open and just truly seeking the Lord! I am Catholic and so many people misunderstand our devotions and I'm so glad your open. Cause the rosary is reflection on the scriptures so nobody should have a problem with it. So I pray the Lord bless you and keep you and speak blessings on others through you! Amen Alleluia
Awe thank you so much beautiful for your kind words and support here. This truly means the world to me. I wish more people could be as kind and as sweet as you. I see christ reflection in you. May God bless you abundantly ✍📖📚📿🙏
Your such a help to so many! Your truly show the love you have for bible's and showing your walk with God.
Cat, just wanted to thank you for inspiring me during my spiritual walk and continue to BLOOM in Christ. Sending you ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this video! Thank you for it! You don't have to be Catholic to pray the Rosary. Keep on the good fight! Love you!!!!
I was always told you had to be that's one of the main reasons why I felt so bad. But I felt so happy whenever I seen it's like me Spirit always knew I needed it. Thank you for watching sis and for loving me no matter what xoxo
@@catwoods5499 I always encourage people to pray the Rosary. Catholics, and non-Catholics. Did you know that Rosary is Latin for Crown of Roses? Very fitting since your word is Bloom ;) I even hold my Rosary when praying other prayers and even when not praying. When I'm having anxiety attacks, I'll grab one of my many Rosaries and hold it, running my fingers over the beads, the Crucifix, and the center while doing deep breathing. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
@@readyourbible4315 well it's a good thing I'm not worried about what you think. Each Mystery of the Rosary is Scripture. Hail in the context of the Hail Mary means Hello. Not I worship you. That would be idolatry.
Wow Cat, great video! I am 100% certain Satan did not want you to post this video, because of exactly what you said: it is a powerful tool to encourage prayer. All those things Catholics collect around themselves - medals, statues, pictures, Rosaries, Holy Water - they're called "sacramentals" and they're sort of the religious equivalent to a wedding ring or holding on to a beloved's shirt while they're away. They're meant to encourage & excite devotion, dedication and holy thinking, they help remind us God is with us and to speak to Him!
Then, on top of that, it has the medal of St. Benedict! The letters around the back of it stand for some Latin phrases that denounce Satan: V.R.S.N.S.M.V.-- S.M.Q.L.I.V.B, "Vade Retro Satana (Begone Satan) Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana (Never Suggest Vain Things to Me)", and "Sunt Mala Quae Libas (What You Offer Me is Evil) Ipse Venena Bibas (Drink your own Poison)". So you've got this awesome tool that not only encourages prayer and devotion, but also has a rebuke against Satan written across it! You may or may not have known what those letters meant, but he sure did!! God bless you Cat!
Oh thank you so so very much for coming here with a open heart and mind. Best of all bless you for helping me learn something more about the Rosary. I truly was worried and had my sisters praying over me as I made this video I didn't want to hurt anyone feels. So to hear you speak out like this has truly given me the strength to overcome Satan and continue to seek out more knowledge. May God bless you for this. I will be praying for you that your prayers will be answered 📿🙏📚💜
I just started following you and I am just now listening to you. Thank you. What I think of is the Blessed Virgin Mary. I was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school through 8th grade. I have been active in the Lutheran church for almost 30 years. I understand what you are saying about growth. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your walk with us all. Beautiful Rosaries.
My Dad’s family are Protestant. My Mom’s family are Catholic. My Dad’s sister went to Ireland and brought me back a beautiful Rosary. That was 35 years ago. I still have that Rosary. I treasure it. My dear Aunt died of Parkinson’s disease 15 years ago but I have the beautiful Rosary to remember her by and pray with.
You are such a beautiful soul. I appreciate you so much!
I would love for u to post a video..where u finally say..PRAISE THE LORD!!! MY HUBBY HAS FOUND CHRIST!!
Girl me too... I promise 🙋♀️ I will when that day comes I'm come running to you all with open arms 💜🙏💜
Really enjoyed you're video...you are a down to earth and encouraging person! Thank-you!
Thank you!! I agree with you 100% - I love rosaries - feel the exact same way about them
My husband and I aren't Catholic but a gal that worked with my husband went to Ireland and had a Rosary made for him. It's beautiful. He keeps it in our china closet so nothing happens to it.
Just converting to Catholicism. That means universal Christian. We are all Christians. The rosary is not in the Bible but the Bible is in the rosary. The rosary was started many years ago for lay persons to help them pray. Monks used to recite the psalms daily, but this was too much for working people or people that couldn't read. So meditation and sitting with God praying Christ Jesus have mercy on my soul, helped. Then they said the Lords prayer . Jesus tells us to pray this prayer.
Please know you absolutely right. Praying with it is just a tool. Enjoy. May God richly bless you and your husband 🙏 ❤
Love your videos. Keep shining that light my beautiful Christian sister Xxx
Thank you for sharing this Cat. You are an inspiration and I have grown so much in my own walk through what I have learned watching your videos. I am not Catholic and I have a rosary....it’s a Protestant rosary. It’s made a little differently and to be honest, I just follow my own path on how I pray with it. For me, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a rosary or prayer beads, or even the denomination of the rosary....the important thing is that I am praying and connecting with God through using it. Your rosary with the beads with the roses in them is absolutely beautiful...and so are you! Thank you for sharing your journey.❤️🙂🌸🦋
Thank you so much sister I'm so filled with joy to hear I'm not the only one who has a Rosary too. 🖊📖📿💜
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm a member of the Progressive Catholic Church and a novice religious sister in the Congregation of Franciscan Servants. Your assertion that you are God's Child - NOT just a denomination - is precisely the belief that leads me to pursue my Catholic upbringing in a new way and incorporate teachings, prayer practices, and habits from a variety of other denominations. I've been watching a lot of your videos (I collect Bibles too haha!) and I just want to tell you that you are such a calming, holy presence. Thank you for making this video even though you were nervous and encouraging us to remember that we are ALL Christians, in need of prayer and habits that will help us to grow. No one owns any type of prayer or practice.
Cat, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. I have found peace and enthuthiasm by reading the Bible. I have bought the bibles you have reviewed and it has opened up a joyous new world for me. That has been inspired by your videos 100%. The rosary is a beautiful prayer for anyone. Keep sharing. Love and prayers from the UK. ❤❤❤
Awwww really.... this makes me so happy to hear. I work really hard to get God's word out there. Most of all I want to bless you all with the same excitment and passion that I have
🖊📖🥰
GOD bless you, Cat. I am not Catholic either (I'm Messianic, but that's not important! No denomination completely describes my nearly 70-year walk with my precious JESUS.), but I have had a deep devotion to our Holy Mother Mary since I was a little girl. I've created a 7-day Scriptural Rosary that has sooo very much blest my life, and helps keep me in the Bible everyday. "JESUS's mommy" as I knew her when I was little, loves us so much! I understand your hesitancy, but bless you, Hon, please don't worry about what to share; if you feel the LORD wants you to share, then go ahead. Your job is to share... then whoever hears it, it's then their responsibility to accept it or not. As our Holy Mother tells us, we are to "do whatever He tells you to do" - that's our job, our responsibility. Once it's out there (released/planted), it's then up to others to accept or reject. We are all discerning, learning, experiencing, growing. In addition, you are totally right about going or not to church. My hubby (who is a wonderful Christian) doesn't go to church either (we've been married 49 years), but does't mind if I go. (Right now I'm going two blocks down the street to this sweet little Episcopal church that has a wonderful, Bible-preaching paster.)
Also, the Rosary reminds me instantly of prayer, same as you. I especially love pink roses, so your Rosary is so beautiful and such a blessing to me! And the aptly-named "triple threat" crucifix is one of my favorites, too, for many reasons, but especially because it incorporates Holy Mother Mary, and also the wonder saying on the back: "Behold the Heart of JESUS which loves us so much!" I also love the saying on the Sacred Heart protection medal, "Cease! The Heart of JESUS is with me!" What a powerful declaration!
Dear one, I will add you to my daily prayer list. What a blessing you are - GOD's great, good gift. I've never seen a vid of yours that I didn't like; but this has got to be (so far) my absolute favorite - not only of all your vids, but, no exaggeration, of any of the vids I've watched on U-Tube for years! Thank you so much for your vids, your courage, your ministry, your love, and your faithfulness to follow and obey our precious LORD at any cost. Love and prayers, Linny
I collect them and hang them around my home. I feel they're beautiful and when I look at them I think of God. Jesus and Mary...how beautiful together. I do also feel protection having them hang around my home.
Cat, your video brought tears to my eyes..you and I are so alike that I didn't realize until now...our husbands..not going to church...etc...I have so much more respect for you than I ever have before...and the one thing I love the most about you is you not caring what others think or say and only caring what our Father has to say about things!!! Love you girl!!!! Keep up being real!!!
Oh girl I wish I was that strong and I can say (oh no I don't care what others say) because I do something I can't help it. What's worse Satan will use that against me too. However I know I am surrounded by so many so many amazing people who help keep my strong in my Faith in believing God knows all things and sees all things. Best of all we have each other to remind one another that we are beautiful daughters of the King. Thank you so much for watching sis I love you to pieces xoxo
When I was a young girl, I was given my first (and only) rosary. As I grew up, I often had it in my pocket and when I wanted to sense God close to me, I would hold it. Then one day, someone came along and expressed their belief, and I haven't had another one since.
Thank you for sharing!!
I recently got a rosary (purple pearl) It has change my prayer life sister. God bless you. ♥️
What prayers you pray? The rosary prayer or just prayer that comes to mind?:)
I pray scriptures from the Bible 📿🙏
I always thought rosaries were beautiful! Thanks for sharing pieces of your personal testimony. Added your husband to my prayer list!
I’d suggest you try praying with the Jesus Prayer, it’s an Orthodox practice but myself and other Catholics pray it also. I know some non-Catholics can feel reluctant to pray the rosary, but i believe the Jesus prayer could be easier for you guys.
This is an awesome video. When I first accepted Jesus in to my life I didn't go to church at first I use to read the word I use to watch Joyce Myers and other preachers on t.v. It took me 10 years before I found a church to go to. I enjoyed spending time with God he is awesome. I love your videos do what is best for you its between you and God. May God bless you always ❤🌷
I don’t have a rosary but I do use prayer beads or what some people call worry beads. I’m sure I don’t use them like other people do but I have my own way to use them to help me pray and be aware that God is with me and it’s time to acknowledge him. I’m drawn to pretty things that remind me to be aware of God in my life everyday all the time. Your rosary is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I've heard of worry beads and gratitude beads to that's another reason why I made this video just to bring more attention to others seeking more out there like I am. Thank u for watching xoxo
Thank you for this video Cat, SO much! You are such an inspiration to me. God has used you to strengthen my walk with Him, and I am sending you hugs. 💕
Great video!!! I love your faith. You are so encouraging and bring excitement into learning more about God. I have watched you for a couple of years and I love your channel. You just keep following God’s lead❣️ You have a beautiful soul!💖💖💖
Thank you so much for supporting my channel for so long your amazing thank you thank you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. 💕✝️💕
Love this. Thank you for your testimony and transparency. I love the rosary. It has drawn me so much closer to Jesus.
Thank you for sharing part of your story!! I love how transparent you are and down to earth. You’re super sweet and nothing but honest every single time. Keep doing what you’re doing and shut the door on the enemy EVERY SINGLE TIME!! So proud of you!!
Awe bless you my dear sweet sister I love you to pieces xoxo
CAT, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. AS A CHILD I ALWAYS LOVED THE LOOK AND FEEL OF ROSARY. BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT FOR "US", THAT FOR THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE..
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THEM. SEEING WHAT SPEAKS TO ME.
TO ME THE CROSS REPRESENTS THE LOVE THAT WAS GIVEN FOR ME...US.
Thanks cat! I was raised Baptist now non-denominational and I’ve had rosary beads for about 25 years! I don’t believe in praying to any saint or Mary but I enjoy their beauty!! I too LOVE reading and collecting bibles! I have been reading and studying Gods word since I was 9 I’m about to turn 56 on the 24! I never tire of learning about God , prayer and praising Him!! I often walk away from my bible time as if I just consumed a delicious delectable feast!! I savor His word!!!! Praying for you and your husband!!!
Powerful video
Thanks Cat, I do not have a church that I go to but my grandchildren and I have our own worship every Sunday morning. They read the bible and explain what it means to them. I do the same thing. My father's family was catholic we never went to the church but my grandchildren and I pray the Rosary from beginning to end with each bead because this is how we like to pray. My sister, you do what is best for you. I follow you because you were saying something that I wanted to hear. I'm not good with the drawing and fanciness in the bible but that's still good, I use highlighter
s. Thank you for sharing you and your walk with the Lord.
The pearl rosary is st. Benedict and the Miraculous Medal.
Thank you so much for sharing your information here I am clueless and very will to learn and understand this is the only way I can better understand anything right!? May God bless you always
Cat, I love you and I am not anyone’s judge. I had a rosemary many years ago. I am like you. I follow Jesus Christ and that is the main thing. Thank you for sharing your faith in God and Jesus Christ. I love you.
I'm so excited to hear that I'm not alone in this. I am so excited to grow stronger in my Prayers LIFE 💜🙏💜
Beautiful rosary’s. Where did you get the rose one it’s gorgeous. I use Anglican rosaries and I’m not Anglican . Use what ever gets you in the mood and sets the tone. I am a believer I don’t go to church and I am disabled widow ,so I spend most of my day studying the word. The Bible is Jesus talking to me and if I want to hear Jesus I read the Bible out loud
Your videos are always inspirational,thank you.
Cat you are right about the rosary. I pray with them and I am not Catholic and I even pray the Saints and prayers . A priest told me many years ago it is ok to pray the rosary and Saints. Anyway you feel in your heart that We show God we want to be closer to him. Saints I have a few I like so much there prayers.. You are helping more than you know. God is smiling!!! Glad you did this video!!!!!
Some info to share ....if you research on amazon or the internet...search “ scriptural rosary how to pray “... I shared with my friends for which they are from different religion beliefs or in their own walk ...and have come to love how to pray the rosary
Oh really... thank you I plan to go the library to see what I can find out on it too there. Thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciate it 📿💜🙏
Cat Woods your pearl Rosary crucifix is an triple threat crucifix which is an Pardon Crucifix with an Miraculous Medal and a St Benedict medal I'm not an Catholic but I do pray the Rosary.
i’m so happy to have seen this video recommended to me i truly appreciate you making this video. i recently thought to myself about trying a rosary and learning more about it but i’m not catholic and i didn’t know if it was ok to use or how to or anything but i’m glad to see it’s ok to own one without having to be a certain type of christian ❤️❤️❤️
Bless you Cat I always find you cheer me up when I feel low and can’t read my Bible 🌻👍🌻
I love you and all your videos! I am with you in your walk with God and the path it leads you. Remember...You do you. It's your path, not anyone else's. Please continue to motivate me and I know many others in your walk with God. TFS
Hi Cat! I never thought of using rosary as a tool! What a great idea! I’ve had one for 30 years and have never used it! My husband is also a non-believer but is open to my spiritual journey. I’m hoping to plant some seeds in him too! Thanks for giving me hope! Blessing to you and your family 😊
Thank you, Cat. New subbie, American living in Germany:so great to find this site. Blessings on your ministry. Very uplifting. 👑👑👑
God bless Cat! I'm LDS, and believe we are all on our own walks to the Lord. Thank you for sharing.
That Rose rosary is lovely!! Where did you get it? I have several rosaries and grew up in the Baptist Church, then converted to the Catholic Church, now I’m back in the Baptist Church but I still pray the rosary. The way I understand it, we pray WITH Mary to her Son, Jesus and we meditate on different parts of scripture. Love it. Thanks for sharing about this. 💚🙏🏻
Curious, why did you back to the Baptist Church?
I absolutely love your openness and love for God! As for the Rosary, I have always thought they were beautiful and a great reminder of what Jesus did for all of us. Not being a catholic I have never owned a rosary. I would always wear a cross around my neck for many many years and would hold it when I was struggling or saying a prayer. Definitely realizing now over the last 20 years of not having it that I need to watch for God’s direction to replace it. Thank you so much for sharing 💝
Cat, I love this video, you did a great job. Thank you, I have a lot to think about.
Cat, thanks so much for sharing this video. I love this idea of the rosary as a reminder to pray. I am not Catholic either and I, too, am a child of God. I have no idea what the rosary was created for but I think it is a great tool to include in my prayers. God bless you!
Hi Cat I am new to your channel and I am learning a lot from them. You are just like me I love writing everything I see in my study that will help me remember when I come a cross it again, Thank you for being so honest with us.

Thank you for sharing this video it's amazing.I'm exactly in the same situation my husband is a non-believer, he is slowly having interest in the Bible/God. But he know how much I love God and seeking him. my husband always ask what I want from birthday or Christmas, my answer is a bible, 😁😍. I grew up in a Christian home. I was baptized as a Catholic . But I stopped going to Catholic Church, middle School to high school I started going to church with my mother at Nazarene church and that's where I learned a lot more. I still struggle with a spiritual battles, and my grandmother who is the Catholic always asks me what kind of Christian am. And the rosary I still don't know enough about it I do have one in each my room.
. Thank you again for sharing and always encouraging.
I’m so thankful for you cause you have inspired me so much and I happy for you and thank you for sharing your journey love love it and I love your rose beads they are so beautiful and they are blooming so beautiful and every time I see your Bible they just truly inspire me and it help me to read and study for my walk on my journey with the Heavenly Father you are a blessing and I’m thankful too you sister you are planting seeds love love it my dear sweet sister and friend have a great wonderful amazing night ❤️🛡🙌🏾📝🌱📝🌱📝🌱💕💕
I totally agree with what you said. You have a personal relationship with Our Lord. He is with you.
I love your rosary it's beautiful! Both are the one in the box is also! Love your video.
Prayer is what I see when I see a Rosary. My sister’s Mother in Law made me one.
You are a child of God. You are blessing His children in fellowship. Most importantly you are doing a great job about the Fathers business. Keep pressing
I saw a rosary today that the beads are made of crushed rose petals. Kind of neat huh.
Ohhhh that would be beautiful indeed sister 🥰
I understand..my prayer life is same as you..I been trying to pray everyday
Thank you for sharing your testimony! I love rosaries and always thought they were used for praying. Love You 🥰
Great video Cat. I to own a rosary and I’m a Evangelical/Pentecostal Christian. I use the rosary as a prayer tool as well, I’ve adapted it by cutting out the Hail Marys and pray the Apostles Creed, the Our Father, I quote 1 Corinthians 13 and meditate on the 3 theological virtues: faith, hope and love, I pray the Jesus prayer, I say the Glory Be prayer and I pray the Magnificat. I also meditate on the 20 mysteries at each corresponding decade: the joyful, the luminous, the sorrowful and glorious mysteries. Praying the rosary is not vain repetition as you are praying scripture and meditating on the life of Christ; and as you know the Word of God is living and Holy Spirit inspired so the Lord can speak to you and give fresh revelation each time you meditate on the prayers and mysteries, so definitely not vain! It helps me with my walk and I love it!
Gail M Hill Don’t worry about the Hail Mary... each line is from Luke 1
Thank You Cat for this video full of transparency and vulnerability! That is all we have ........our testimony in Christ !
You had me a lil nervous of a minute. Glad I listened to this video all they way through .
Thank you for listening and and jumping straight to assuming or Judgment. Most importantly actually taking the time to watch the full video. May God bless you always
I’m not Catholic and I’ve always viewed the rosary as a man made thing but I really appreciate the way you use yours. Thanks for making this video Cat; love your heart.
Hello Cat! I am not Catholic I am a born again Bible based Christian. I also have a beautiful collection of rosaries. For me , it reminds me that Jesus died on the Cross for the forgiveness of our sins! I He is Lord & Savior!
If you want to use it as a tool for your prayer life God sees your heart and your intentions. I sometimes do the same. It is your walk with the Jesus Christ that matters not what people say or think. Many Blessings to You and your family!! Love your videos!!🎚🙏😇💕💕💕
Thank you so much sis for watching and supporting my ministry I greatly appreciate it. It's not always an easy walk. But...but this path into God's heavenly Kingdom and loving arms has not only saved my life but my soul too. It's truly amazing. 🙏📿👑🎶🧚♂️
