How to REALLY Pray the Rosary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Fr. Mark-Mary discusses how to really pray the Rosary and go deeper than the external mechanics. Primarily it’s about relationship and not simply recitation. Fr. Mark-Mary explains three aspects of the Rosary on which we can contemplate:
The person of Jesus Christ
The words of the prayers, which are Scriptural
The Mysteries, which cover the whole life of Jesus.
There is so much to be found in this beautiful prayer, but its beauty can easily be overlooked. As Pope St. Paul VI said:
“Without contemplation the Rosary is just a body without a soul.”
It does no good to pray the Rosary while your mind and heart are somewhere different. If you’re new to praying the Rosary or have struggled to pray it, maybe just read one of the mysteries in Scripture and pray three Hail Marys. Fall in love with the Rosary little by little if that’s what it takes.
Fr. Mark-Mary is talking about the Rosary all October. Stay tuned for more videos on this powerful prayer.

I'm 43 and I'm getting Baptized on Easter Vigil!
Mad mechanic congratulations!!
Curious, with the Corona Virus thing... Did you manage to get baptized after all?
Praise be to God. Hope you still got baptised.
@@4pharaoh they are delaying Baptisms but yes they are still doing them.
@@jacobhall1488 You may not agree with Catholicism, but you can at least respect others beliefs, that would be the right thing to do. God bless you
I prayed the rosary for the first time in more than 15 years, today
I’m starting I’ve never done it before .
Well done 👍🏻🙏
To whom did you pray the rosary for 15 years? To Mary? Is Mary God for you to pray to her? Did Jesus ask you to pray to Mary? Mary is still among the dead. She has not risen from her death yet. So whom are you praying to with your cultic rosary?
Nimal Perera you pray to Jesus and Mary when you say the rosary?
Mary takes the prayers to Jesus .
I'm using my sister's account to make a comment I'm 9 years old. All I want to say is amen and pray to get blessed by God and stay safe!
What a brave thing to do, Yosselin. The Holy Spirit inspired you to do so. But it was your receptive heart that made you follow through by posting this reply. You made Jesus and His Holy Mother, Mary very happy. I will pray for you and your loved ones whenever I remember to do so. May God continue to bless you.
What a brave thing to do. Thank you also for writing how old you are. Obviously the Holy Spirit inspired you to post a reply. But it was your open and receptive heart that made you follow through! I will pray for you whenever I remember to do so.
Amen
You'd want to let your big sister and your parents know that detail, Sir, for a matter of honesty and personal virtue... as well as being mature in terms of character at that, so she doesn't lack understanding of where the mysterious emails related to this are coming from... and thus avoiding any fights.
@@chissstardestroyer I already know my little brother is always honest to everyone and it makes me proud. His faith keeps me going, as a 19 year old I look up to my little brother. Everyday before going to bed and before he even starts his day he thanks the lord and prays. He’s an amazing example in my family❤️
I pray the rosary 4 times a day in the morning, lunchtime, evening and at bedtime. I feel such a peace after every one. I also pray the divine mercy chaplet everyday at 3pm with my rosary too!
That's great to hear! Great graces have been given to you and you have responded to the Lord's call for your life. Keep thanking God for giving you a powerful daily prayer life. Remember, its all about God's mercy and not our own piety or goodness. I've learned this the hard way through long periods of darkness and addiction. God bless!
Impressive!! Keep us in mind when you pray. Please and thank you.
This is quite inspiring
Saya sudah lama tidak berdoa rosary.. baru saja bulan ini saya memulai berdoa rosary dan saya lakukan doa rezeki ini.. sehari dua kali.. seminggu penuh dan semakin lama saya berdoa rosay ini semakin saya jatuh cinta dengannya.
That’s so awesome ! I started doing the same thing!!! It’s such a great feeling
I prayed the rosary for the first time today and I can't stop thinking about it
Keep going
Have you been Catholic for a long time or you recently converted?
The Rosary has many promises attached to it.
Keep it up! It’s a weapon.
@Tricia Perry
It is the prayer not only the object.
I’m a lifelong Protestant. I didn’t start believing in any sort of offering of prayers to Mary until I had the worst toothache I’ve ever experienced. The worst part of it was that I had a trip planned for my grandmother’s 100th birthday. I couldn’t afford to do both, as my budget was just that tight.
I started saying Hail Marys, and guess what? It almost felt like magic the depth of peace and strength I felt wash over me. I went on the trip, in an intense amount of pain. I also found a way to get the dental work done in a timeframe that actually worked for my needs.
I’m not saying that I say Hail Marys every day or anything, but I definitely have learned a different perspective than the one that I grew up with. It was a really eye opening experience for me, for sure.
I also quite recently started learning how to pray with a rosary. I’m very definitely struggling with the mechanics of it, and I sometimes get the prayers in the wrong order. I try not to overthink it though, and I remember that God cares much more about the intentions of my heart than he does about whether or not I can remember “O My Jesus” every decade.
Poco a poco, voy a llegar!
So many of us waste our time scrolling in social media and watching RUclips..... there shouldn’t be a reason that you’re so “busy” to not pray the rosary 📿
Praying the rosary and to Mary is unbiblical. You need to open your heart to Jesus and follow Him only! God Bless!
Fabio Tuan
Unbiblical? The decades of the Rosary contemplates events in the life of Christ. His suffering, birth, resurrection, ascension. The prayers are the OUR FATHER, don't think you object to that, the GLORY BE to the trinity, and the HAIL MARY. The first part of the HAIL MARY is virtually the Bible book of Luke chapter 1.
verse 28, Hail full of grace. The Lord is with you.
verse 42, Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
The second half is asking Mary to pray to Jesus for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. We can and do pray for our loved ones, even the unloved.
I'll take all the help I can get. The Rosary isn't a vain repetition like OHM OHM of Hinduism but centered on our God.
@@fabiotuan5206 To Jesus, through Mary 💙
@@joansavethecats8513
So you are saying Mary hears the requests/prayers of millions, if not billions of people across the world to pass onto Jesus? So she ìs not only a mediator but a goddess as well is that what your saying?
no, she is not a goddess, but an intercessor. We pray the rosary to her to intercede for us, hence the many miracles and souls saved from eternal deamination.
After 3 weeks of paying the rosay, I can only imagine the great pain our lady went through watching her son suffering for us. Mary pray for us.
Mary is in heaven with Jesus.
@Tom Jenkins Hebrews 12:1 The dead cannot witness.
And yours is like a 10 year old
While praying the sorrowful one day, I put myself in Mary's place when she encountered Jesus. Then I saw my own son in the place of Jesus. I really lost it!
@Tom Jenkins Ye of little faith... prayers to you.
Have faith in mother Mary..Rosary is our protection..
the pandemic situation made me started to pray the rosary daily as a habit
Read your Bible, God never said to do that. God hates prayers that have “vain repetitions.” The rosary prayer was started around the 1300s by some guy named Dominic whom said that the Virgin Mary appeared unto him and told him to stop praying the psalms and start this wicked practice. It’s a false teaching.
@@peacefulprotester3274 nothing vain bout the mother of god praying for us
"Satan always aims at destroying the ROSARY, but he will never succeed! It is the PRAYER of Her who prevails over each and all. It is She who taught it to us, as Jesus taught us the Our Father."
-St Padre Pio
I've been reciting the Rosary nightly, over the past 21 nights. Tomorrow I've booked a Confessional with our Parish Priest, this Penance and Reconciliation is the First one in 45 years!
Our life is just like the rosary, there is Joyful, sorrowful, glorious and luminous mysteries.
Maricel Schill profound comment! Thank you!
🤯🤯🤯
Truly, as Christ taught us that the servant is no greater than the master. As Christians, our whole lives and being are joined to Christ...His suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension into Glory
l agree
I should add that the Luminous Mysteries are optional. JP2 himself said as much.
Converted 30 years ago and had never prayed the rosary until the first time 17 days ago. Why that day? No idea! Had to Google everything, prayers, order, mysteries. I've never felt a deep connection to Mary but what you said about building a relationship is so true. Spending time not only saying the prayers, but contemplating the words and the mysteries and how they connect to me has made the time I spend doing this every day, something I look forward to so much. It is kind of like falling in love and I look forward to deepening my understanding and faith. Thank you for explaining things so clearly.
happy for you
Ellen C yes!!!
Look at the date and feast day on that day you began the Holy Rosary prayer?
Our Lady of the holy Rosary great feast day was just last week 7th October. In the octave of the feast either days is powerfull Graces coming to us! May the Most Holy Trinity bless your life and draw you to beautiful worship to them!!!3
Nice message...
God bless...
Teared up. ❤
When I pray the rosary I begin by asking the Holy Spirit to guide me and then I imagine walking with Our Lady through the life of her son. For instance, in the agony of the garden I sit myself down next to our Lord, put my arm around him and try to just be there for him. At the birth of our Lord, I take in all that is going on....the Angel's in Heaven sneaking in a peek....and so on. I let the Holy Spirit and the Blessed reveal to me whatever they want me to see. Sometimes you don't want to leave a particular event. It becomes a real encounter with God. It reminds me of when I was young and sat next to my grandmother. We would look through the pictures and she would tell me stories of each picture and the people in them. Some times she would focus on a different aspect of the picture. Hope this helps anyone trying to go deeper. God bless.
God bless you for sharing this.. I may apply as being new to the rosary it is hard at times to remain focused. I am sharing with my mother as well whom I am giving a rosary to shortly.
I love that thank you
@Tricia Perry it doesn’t matter. I have an amazing relationship with God and His mother and feel very fortunate
@Tricia Perry : Since you know this is a Catholic site, stop trolling with your Protestant comments. We know who we are, and we are Warriors for His Truth. We have the Teachings given to us since the beginning of our Lord’s ministry over 2020 years ago, whereas in the 1500’s, along comes Martin Luther, who decided he knew more than God, and removed 6 Books from the Bible. Consider it like an apple, whole and perfect; then take 6 bites out of it, and it is no longer whole, but missing a large piece and is no longer whole. Luther took away all Dogma’s, Traditions, the devotion to the Blessed Mother, and the Saints, etc and now where are the Protestants? 35,000+ offshoots of this “protest” of His Faith and counting. Please go and save yourself.
@@massabielle2821 ma'am you are sincerely.... bonkers along with the entire false and looney bin RCC. Believing the LIES sold to you and DEMONIC heretical beliefs
I will say what I want IT IS BANANAS....
Martin Luther has nothing to do with HOLINESS. and none of you have the true holy spirit from God.. ..
Just chants and ritualistic and traditons passed down by pale faced demented men.
We are not PROTESTANT..... everything not catholism is said to be Protestant. Just rubbish and the explanation given by all you CATHOLICs are the same......Martin Luther did this and took this out the bible. Luther was not a child of God and didn't have the gospel or the holy spirit ........
Mother Mary is the greatest blessing to the world
I have tried to meditate on the mysteries while praying. Recently, during the Joyful Mysteries I had this interior feeling and vision of St. Mary presenting her infant son Jesus to me and the grin and tears that came to my eyes was amazing.
mine is similar. I have an image in my mind of Mary pregnant with Jesus and it feels so good saying the words "blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus"... I find myself in the position of her cousin Elizabeth feeling and saying "Who am I that the mother of my Lord is here to visit me."
I heard a you tube Rosary where the Mystery was spoken in between each Hail Mary. Like a verse or two then a Hail Mary, then by the end of the decade, the Mystery was fully read,prayed, or contemplated. I haven't done this yet, but will try this.
@@kimberlyivanov7425 its called scriptural rosary
Penfold8... I was praying the sorrowful mysteries a few years ago and as I was meditating on Jesus in The Garden of agony I ask him if I could come in to the garden and comfort him and suddenly I was there interiorly and I felt the most horrifying fear and the most profound love for him and I really sensed the Holy Spirit at some point was present around me! It was scary yeah it was so beautiful!! And I believe my love for Jesus was tripled that night join that meditation of the Rosary!!
DanInspiration got rid of the beads and converted to the scriptural rosary. Bottom line: whatever works for you is fine. Everyone is different
My husband and I have 3 sons, 4 daughters and 21 grandchildren. We often get together to pray the Rosary. How important for all of us to meditate every mystery. Thank you Father Mark.
This is how we should pray we need to be in contemplation in all our prayers.
Any person who tells you that as soon as they start praying the rosary or any prayer for that matter can immediately focus on God and maintain that without difficulty is lying to you. There will be times when you catch yourself focused on other things during prayer thats fine dont think that just because you were a little distracted that you failed to pray. Simply during these times ask you angel or Jesus or Mary to help you focus and meditate on the mysteries.
Theropod gamer some people also say that even if you don’t stop sinning to keep on praying it.
A friend of mine who is Catholic said that even if you sin, keep praying the rosary. This is war. I’m serious. This is war.
I have had days where I just hide though the day, elevated above sin, but then I fail on another day.
God help us.
I am going to boldly persist, if this is the last thing I do. If I fail at everything else, let THIS happen well!
Tom Jenkins yes Mary is human and a woman. She is also the Mother of Jesus who is God, the spouse of the Holy Spirit ( since she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit) and the beloved daughter of God the Father. Jesus could have come into the world without the help of a mere human but God the Father in his infinite wisdom chose a mere woman to be part of human salvation. Pretty amazing I would say, chosen by God the Father himself. And Jesus on the cross gave her to us when he said to John the apostle “ behold your Mother”. John represents all of us. The Blessed Mother is our spiritual Mother since Jesus is our brother.
Tom, don't know where you get your information, but for the record, we do not worship Mary, we worship God. But we do honor Mary, blessed mother of God. Use a dictionary & look up the meaning of worship & the meaning of honor. This may give you some clarity. As well we do not worship statues, another misconception of many non Catholics. Mary is the true mother of God, because Jesus lived in her body till birth, it is correct to say she IS not only the Immaculate conception, but also the Holy Temple of God!!! Please help yourself by learning more about Mary, Mother of God & you will be well on your way to appreciating what God gave us, his Holy Mother. Read Elizabeth's greeting when Mary came to visit her. In God's divine plan He gave us Mary. Ignoring this gift is to ignore God's gift to mankind.
St. Teresa of Avila mentioned in her autobiography that for 40 years she was not able to pray unless she would read some 'spiritual writings' before-hand! I do not remember if she indicated if it was the Holy Bible or a book about a saint, but that she would read some 'spiritual writings' before she would pray. Hoping this helps!..
Even Jesus realized that the spirit is willing but the flesh might be weak. Jesus will never let you down if your are sincere and trying
Thank you Fr. Mark. Two of the greatest gifts our LORD gave us before he ascended into heaven , the EUCHARIST and Mother Mary. Catholicism is beautiful.
You have literally no idea about God's timing in my life about this. God bless you.
Pray the Rosary or the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day. It will change your life. Make a promise to do one of these every day no matter how low your day is. God hears your prayers.
Jack Bull same here.
Yes we do, God's timing for all of us is perfect, God bless 🙏
@@lisamarie4sanmarcos He does. Amen.

You’re great Fr Mark-Mary!
The rosary helped my whole prayer life. After awhile I found myself talking to god all throughout the day.
My boss who is Catholic recently gave me a rosary and taught me how to pray the rosary. The first time I prayed, I felt peace and love from Mother Mary. I now pray it every day! Thank you for this channel!!! ❤❤❤
Pray 15 decades every day for the Church! This synod is bringing so much strife in the Church.
Our Lady of Akita, pray for us!
Add on another 5 and pray 20
@Ignatius The life and mysterys of Christ is not a novelty. The Baptism of Jesus, The Wedding feast of Cana, the Proclamation of the Kingdom, The Transfiguration, The Institution of the Holy Eucharist. These are not novelty its scriptural. Don't do them if you don't want too, but to do all 20 mysteries brings me through the whole life of Christ, it has brought many blessings and much more understanding. They tied it all together.
Pray the rosary for 5 times how like Fr. Pio of the Pietrelcina 🤗
@Ignatius There seems to be lots pressure to "try something new" (Luminous Mysteries, knock-off meditative chants) to recapture the fallen-Faithful within our modern society. Centuries pass, but the Rosary remains... Popes come and go, but the Rosary remains.
@@praytherosaryeveryday2709 - but best to pray the Traditional 15 decades of the 3 sets of mysteries, such a shame JPII mucked about with the Holy Rosary, everyone he touched seemed to go wrong. he even wanted to mess about with Stations but luckily that got ignored. Our Lady asked we meditate for 15 minutes on the mysteries on First Saturday, there's a reason for the 15 minutes. God bless you and Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us
Father you are so real. Thanks.
I pray every day five decades either I pray morning or evening when arrived home from work and Divine Mercy Chaplet most I pray morning before work.
Same..
God bless you Tess! Keep it up! ✝️🌷
I’ve been praying one set of mysteries each night and it’s been amazing, but I need more because I’m still sinning.
I’m going to try to move toward praying all three sets if mysteries each day.
I feel compelled to try to memorize the prayers in Latin also.
This has got to work. I really want to not offend Our Lord so much.
Tess Chavit, do pray for me (job+ life partner)
Divine Mercy Chaplet never miss a day, even if it is the worst and it means it get it prayed by 11:59. My Saint Faustina changed my life. I try very hard to do all of the groups of mysteries each day. It will change your life. ALL of the Rosary each day will change your life. Its very difficult sometimes to accomplish.
"My brothers and sisters. My future saints out there." Love this line. Thank you.
"relationship and not just recitation " is a perfect way to understand how to pray the rosary ❤️ thank you Father for explaining this brilliantly in a non overwhelming and imposing way.
When we pray the rosary we are accompanying Mary as she accompanies Jesus. Accompanying Jesus with Mary
For me praying the Rosary is like a "phone call" to Mary and Jesus, but the kind of phone call that can hug you from inside. Can't live without it now
La Cargan, you were doing ok then you blew it big time. Like a phone call to Mary? Jesus will answer, mary's line is dead.
@@rbnmnt3341 Your answer tells me that you aren't Catholic or even Orthodox then.
Try praying in tongues and you will get true revelation!!!
When I pray the rosary, I placed myself at the site of the corresponding mystery.... so for example at the agony in the garden, I placed myself besides Jesus in the garden, keeping him company and loving him....
I do that too and it really helps me get into it. Its sorta like lectio divina but with the rosary
Pray the Rosary FROM the Heart! 💓
Then the distractions will go away!
God bless you always Fr. Mark! ✝️
I'm a 57-year-old Catholic raised in the age that believed, 'Endurance = Love of God'. This is the best advice I've received on the Rosary my entire life.
❤️I am an orthodox priest and love to pray the holy rosary. Thank you for this video Father, Glory to Jesus Christ.🕊
I didn’t realize there were so many ways to pray the rosary. I just discovered the scriptural rosary, which I love.
When I pray, especially the joyful mysteries, I have an image in my mind of Mary pregnant with Jesus and it feels so good saying the words "blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus"... I find myself in the position of her cousin Elizabeth feeling and saying "Who am I that the mother of my Lord is here to visit me."
so beautiful ... i too have beautiful images once i cried with joy when i saw our blessed mother kissing the feet of her infant baby Jesus ..... its a beautiful thing to say the rosary
Beautiful
I'm new to the family, and when i first started praying rosary i got no idea what it was about! I just recited until i learned the prayers, then i started asking our Lady, how to pray deeper how should i do this. Then what i started doing is imagining in my mind that i am with our Lady during each mystery and that i am seeing our Lord through her eyes and asking her to pray for me, to grow in my prayer life and asking her to pray for my family/friends/the departed ones/my diocese/the whole world then i would recite 10 Hail Mary's etc. It takes me a little longer to do the whole Rosary, but it so much worth it. I love just sitting there and having a mental prayer/conversation with our Holy Mother. Anyways, hope this is helpful for someone. 🙏❤️
I am gonna pray after this vid!
Find a Muslim woman then convert her to Christ.
Mother Mary has always been the hardest but most desired aspect of the Catholic faith for myself, a cradle Catholic.
I started praying the rosary and for the first time in my LIFE too! And it has changed my internal life in such amazing ways, I cannot explain to you how much of a spiritual weapon it TRULY IS. If you want to experience Our Blessed Mother intercede in your mind and heart and hands and lead you to her Son, and her Son to you.... PRAY YOUR ROSARY!
This was very helpful! I began RCIA this year and have started trying to pray the rosary regularly. (Still need a cheat sheet, but I find that listening to rosary podcasts helps me follow along and stay focused.)
This video answered some questions I had about where my thoughts should be focused during the recitations. Also encourages me NOT to be discouraged when I occasionally find myself thinking about what I need to make for dinner in the middle of a Hail Mary! Just gently redirect my thoughts and keep going. As you say, poco a poco! 🙏
I have from last June attempted to pray the Rosary prayerfully. It has been a real struggle for me to not let my mind wander. I am getting better at focusing on the mysteries but I have a way to go yet. I am not discouraged. This is a discipline and practice along with a sincere desire to please our Heavenly Father will see ultimate success.
Captain Liberator I myself have no choice. I have to keep trying. Even though I still sin, I am going to persist!

@Tom Jenkins what are you talking about
@Tom Jenkins you're funny
I recently completed the 6 first Saturday devotion Our lady asked us to fulfil at Fatima. She asked us to accompany her and meditate on the mysteries for 20 min. Was difficult at first, but when you go through them, really delving deep, reflecting on the details, it is truly moving. I cried a few times thinking of Our Lords passion, and really feeling compassion, and sorrow for my sins. Thinking how humble, yet powerful the story of our salvation played out. And how the mysteries can be, and are present to us now. Significant and relevant to each and every one of us. Because the story is for your sake, and mine.
I am so glad to hear your comments on the Rosary. I am a 67 year old cradle Catholic and I simply could not say the Rosary most of my life.
When I read that St. Therese, the little flower, also could not say the Rosary, I was cheered a bit. It upset her very much, because she had a great devotion to Our Blessed Mother, as did I.
I could not figure out how I could say the words of the Rosary at the same time as meditating on the Mysteries.
At church, the people saying the Rosary out loud, say after Daily Morning Mass, would say it so quickly,
I felt like I might as well have been reciting the alphabet. I could never say it like that, so I just left.
If I tried to pray the Rosary by myself, it was a 2 hour extravaganza, as I would try to meditate and say each prayer with meaning. And I had little children, so I just gave up. That was why I was so happy to find out that a SAINT could not say the Rosary!!
Then I found the Kate and Mike Crusade and said the Rosary with them. What a difference!
They say the prayers but have a small meditation on each bead. I truly believe that if St. Therese had had such a resource, she too, would have been able to say the Rosary.
It certainly made me feel much better to find out that Pope Paul XI said something like saying the Rosary badly could be worse than not saying it at all.
Remembering the incredibly fast recitation of the people after Mass, and me just leaving because it seemed pointless was actually the right thing to do. ( Always felt guilty, but it just seemed useless)
Thanks Fr. Mark
And God bless you.
When am really upset and have no idea what to even pray, when I cannot articulate even one coherent thought in my head, it is my prayer. I just wail and groan. It gets like that for me
It is nice to hear the young ones these days going back to prayer,..... i remember back in 1970, i was going through a very bad time with panic attacks, i didn't know to handle them, all i was told that i needed medication and counseling, i even went to my local chapel at the time and asked a the priest for some hope, but all that i was told was seek medical advice......
later in 1987 i was still suffering panic attacks, i was with my x wife at the local town, and i saw a catholic shop that sold all kinds of books and rosaries and medals, i felt drawn to go in and look around, i went to the back of the shop, and i saw these books on Mother Mary, small books with Mary on the cover, something made me pick it up and look at the front and back cover, and i had a very strong feeling to buy this book, then i saw a blue rosary near by and my eyes was drawn to them, i bought them that day and did some other shopping that day before returning home....
that night after a meal, i went up to my room as i knew a panic attack was coming on and i didn't want my children seeing me in that panic state of shaking and trembling and being breathless of being choked......as i sat there on the bed, i opened the book of Mother Mary and read through each page as i was having my panic attack... and as i read the book i was asking my self deep inside if you are true Mother Mary, please help me and forgive my sins of my past.... i wasn't a practicing catholic at the time due to some things in my teenage years as boys at that age know..... any way i read the little blue book on Mother Mary and it spoke of praying the rosary and how to do the complete rosary in steps... so i started to do the rosary to Mother Mary that night....at first i felt nothing much... a little pace came into me... but many weeks later....one night i was sitting up in bed as i do when i go to bed.. due to panic attacks... i just lay there as my wife fallen asleep and our kids are in the other rooms... all of a sudden...this glow came into our room....and it lit up all the room....and my eyes saw Mother Mary standing at the base of my bed.... she had the most wonderful smile i have ever seen in my life... she was the most beautiful woman i have ever met.... and i knew from that moment who she was...Mother Mary the devoted Mother to Jesus Her Beloved Son....i turned to my wife who was sleeping at the time and that i know she is a lite sleeper in all the years i have known her... so i shook her hard to wake her up and she never stirred... i shook her again and again and no response... Mother Mary said "Do not worry for your wife is in a deep slumber and no harm has become her.... so i called out to my children in the next rooms... no one of them came through...Mother Mary said "They too are in a deep slumber also and no harm has come to them".... i said to Mother Mary... why have you come to me... for i am a sinner and done much wrong in my life, many good people have gone to chapel and churches every week without fail and they are more deserving than me to see you...Mother Mary smiled at me and said...My Dear son...do you not understand that what you hold deep inside you is more dear that why is outside you, i know your heart better than you do, since when you where child you believed in my Son Jesus you held that close to your heart....a prayer with true heart and loving towards my Son is very important...many lack that in them, their hearts are stone and seek material things of this world they see the image of the Sacred Heart but they do not come in a true heart...first they must repent all their sins and forgive those who have sinned against them and truly mean that from a true heart for that is more important....Mother Mary spoke to me on many things that night and it was so very loving to see her for real and not just an image in the chapel when i was a young lad....Mother Mary parting words to me was "My Dear Son I Am Your Mother Now and Who Ever You Touch They Shall Know" and also said " Be not concerned of the flesh for that is here on earth for a short time, but be concerned of the soul for that is eternal and lives for ever....and just at that point Mother Mary raised her hands towards me and smiled...then light came out from Her heart and hands and came flowing over to me in my bed, and floods of tears came down my cheeks like a river....i have never in all my life felt a love like that ever as long as breath in this world, is was a live of a mother love for her first born child but a million times fold or more but words alone can not express it nor can understand the true meaning of Heavenly love....i have tried explaining to many people over a 36yrs now of that visitation of Mother Mary to me that night... it did not go down to well with many... i was called crazy, not all there and needed medical help and even someone of the cloth said the same thing.. i have been to see many different councilors in my early years but they could not give any advice on the matter... all i know that night back in 1987 was so very true and real...i will never let it go from me ever...i will say to anyone who reads this message...be of a true heart and soul for the Lord Jesus, you cant hide from His truth and He will know if you speak the truth of Him...for you are a child of the God love Him with a true heart and forgive those who have hurt you in the past and repent for all that you have done since your childhood till now, please do not hold back anything or you will hold back Grace and forgiveness...bless you Dear Ones....
Sometimes when I pray the rosary my mind is elsewhere. Thank you for this reminder to study the mysteries!
For anyone who wants to learn about the Rosary, look up a book titled: Secrets of The Rosary, by St. Louis De Montfort
Thank you, I'm still learning to pray the rosary properly and not just getting through the beads! Little by little, thanks!
Thanks to Our Lady and praying the Pompeii rosary novena I have got many
blessings and many troubles gone away. Just pray to Her with faith and
She will do like at the wedding in Cana ask her Son for help
one thing that absolutely changed my life was praying the 5 decades of the Divine Mercy chaplet after each decade of the rosary.
My wife and i are Taking Up the rosary in the next week lots of study right now, thanks for your videos makes the practice so accessible
Update: my wife and I have been praying the Rosary and Mercy Chaplet for 39 Days, going to go experience a live mass at the Local Parish this weekend...
Sad that I didn't see this sooner.
This should be the first thing people should see/know before they start to pray rosary
So before I ever attended a Mass (mid-Aug 2020) a co-worker had a rosary blessed & gave it to me, with a instruction on how to use it. I was clueless & it was hard to work with. But then I found a video on YT of Fr John Gabriel who sings the rosary from start to finish. Now I do it every day at 3pm for Jesus, then at 4pm for Mother Mary through Kevin Nester' Rosary Crew on YT. I'm enjoying it now, because as I go through the rosary I think of what Christ has done & is doing for me, & how I fall short of any mercy or grace, yet God & Christ give it to us in overwhelming endless loving amounts. The depths of that love is mind-boggling, but I love the rosary now & it can only get better. It is a struggle sometimes to remain focused, but I understand the need to, to not be a 'mindless zombie' reciting. Feeling and exploring the mysteries is interesting & enlightening. Thank you for your tips, they are appreciated.
“Poco a poco vamos a llegar”🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰 God Bless you🙏🙏🙏
God bless you Fr Mark Mary!
I just got finished praying a rosary ♡ I'm excited for this video!
Mama Maria is my dear mother. I love this prayer "THE MEMORARE"
"God always gives a greater blessing to humble beginnings than to those that start with the chiming of bells." -St. Vincent de Paul
I love to walk and pray the rosary. I get into a zone and it is amazing!
I do the same ...GOD bless!
Pray with Father Groeschal love his meditation.
Very timely, thank you very much for this. I am praying the rosary again after a decade and I am falling inlove everyday by saying it
Wow i was just thinking i need to say my rosary and this vid came up😍
E K Me too.
I am glad for this information. I wish I learned this at a young age. I am grateful for this grace today. Please pray for me.
I love this! Father Mark Mary is part of my family and my Catholic life. Thank be to God for him ❤🙏❤
Eileen, hope you're doing well during this coronavirus pandemic.
Prayers can change your life..I love it to pray Holy Rosary...God s bless...
Ok Lord...I got it! Your timing is perfect...as always!! ❤
I just received my grandfathers rosary (The Rose Petal Rosary) a few days ago. They smell divine and iv been searching for divinity in so many places and never had interest in Chatholicism. Now i want to pray the rosary and am grafeul for you approach. I have been meditating over 5 years now, just learning the words and the mysteries, one day at a time, starting today! Thank you Father Mark-Mary
the admirable secret of the holy rosary, of Saint Luis Grignion de monfort, its the best book every to read about this
Amen, Fr. Mark Mary!
I prayed 4 rosaries too for spouse but not yet come but I'm continuing praying
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!!!
Father Mark, please encourage also our brothers and sisters in Christ to have a devotion to the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” to go to mass every first friday of the month and pray for 9 days the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayers. I started to have a devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus since this March 2019, I bought early last year the prayer book but I didn’t pray, I put only in the shelf beside the statue of our Lady of Lourdes that I have in my little altar. One night last year I had a dreamt that I was kneeling, clasping my hand praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary and suddenly man appeared in Mary’s side, I look up fixedly to him but he didn’t say anything, when I woke up in the morning I knew that it was Jesus who appeared in my dreamt. Every day I tried to remember which pictures of Jesus that has a similarity in my dreamt, finally I find it the answer, it was the Novena of the Sacred of Jesus picture, so I started this year to have a devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. I think God He reminds me not just to put in the shelf the prayer book but to pray to his Sacred Heart.
Are you talking about the Padre Pio Sacred Heart prayer? I just found out about that. What's the first Friday thing?
@@justinward3218 "In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour."[2]
Jesus Christ to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque.
Godbless i hope you keep me in your prayers. Thanks
Justin Ward, Novena of the “Sacred Heart of Jesus” not Padre Pio, you can ask to the catholic book shop. It’s a short and simple prayer of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Thank you Fr Mark Mary! 🙏🏻
Blessed Virgin Mary is the New Eve, Ark of New Covenant, Queen Mother, Queen of Heaven in Revelation.
Ave Maria
I pray a scriptural rosary every so often. This has helped my journey to really contemplate on the persons of Jesus and Mary. I am grateful for all those persons that God has placed in my path to assist my walk.
This video is simple and well done!
I love this man, he is so special. He really touches my heart.
Thank you Father Mark Mary. I am a new Catholic at the age of 65. I learned to pray the Rosary with you and Father Malachi. Thank you for this teaching...so helpful.
I listen to Kate & Mike here on RUclips they read scripture with Rosary. It took the Rosary to another level for me.
I love their version.
Who are Kate & Mike?
I pray with Kate and Mike Rosary Crusade.
Studying the mysteries is such great advice
God must want me to pray the rosary because RUclips has been notifying me a lot from videos showing up..
Lil Kay ikr.. but realized we are in october, the month of the rosary.. 😃🤞🏻
hahahaha... Just recently prayed rosary again, and just nice the most recent video of Ascension Presents is about Rosary! :O
Cari God does things like that. Give it a pray for a few days. See what happens. Internally it will bring you closer to Jesus through Mary. Externally it is a sword that cuts down demons and scatters the world of the Devil.
Yes the Rosary makes you the Doom Marine.
Side less I know that is true. I can tell God is trying to tell me something. No kidding. But I sort of don’t have time to pray the rosary so I just say a decade when waiting for the bus..
@@caribaez5711 A decade is better then nothing. There are methods to help you get to a full 5 decades or even 15 decades in a day.
Think of it like weightlifting or training if you are a novice or just really getting serious about prayer of course you can't be expected outside of the grace of God to pray 3 complete Rosary in a day or 45 decades like St. Padre Pio.
Start with praying 1 decade every single day for 1 week then add a decade every week after to that after 5 weeks you are praying 5 decades in a day. Then do the same another 5 weeks going up to 10, and then to 15.
I am personally working on praying 1 decade a day for a month then moving up to 3 every day for a month and then 6 and so on until I reach 15.
tl;dr Stick with it.
Thank you Fr. Mark Mary this reflection helps. I Love you for taking the time and giving me insight, this is comforting to me. Praying to the Great comforter for you and all in your life .I love you very much. Your sister in Christ ,Audrey . P.S. if the Good Lord ever let's me become wealthy I will be there to share my wealth with you and you can have all the man mugs you want and together we can help the poor.The Blessed Mother will bring us closer to Jesus as usual and bring us together too we are after all his Royal offspring and he always gathers his children together to bring about his greater plans here and beyond🙏🤗⛪❤️🇺🇸🦅
God! Make my heart fall in love more with the Most Holy Rosary!
Yeah thank you Father for taught me how to pray the Rosary it will help me to persevere each day through it and also have a more deep relationship
The immaculate Catholic Church glorifies GOD’s infallible Word Amen
I pray the Rosary everyday but lately I've felt like I was just going through the motions and easily distracted. It bothered me that I wasn't building a relationship like I should be to the point that I would apologise to Mother Mary after some of them or ask for help to pray it before I began. I knew my focus was off and I'm so glad I was led to these videos on the Rosary in order to better my "form". Thank you Fr. Mark Mary and Ascension Presents.
After watching this video, I realized it was not really okay for me to pray the rosary while doing the dishes, taking a bath, and riding my bicycle to and from work, as my mind is not present on the mysteries, but on passing the time while I'm doing other things. I hope I can enter that meditative mood that Fr. Mary talked about!
Paddy Pagcaliwagan my Catholic friend told me to get on my knees when I pray it.
The difference that made for me is simply out of this world.
I have thanked him more than once for telling me that. It’s so amazing.
I do pray the rosary when I am driving. I am able to meditate a biblical event or verse with each bead while driving. I don’t even have to count as I know each scene in sequence. But of course, nothing beats saying the rosary with my members of the Legion of Mary or other brothers and sisters. I actually prefer not to lead. To me the rosary is my bible as it was in medieval times.
Its so true, the level of contemplation when in a quiet, adorative, private state is awesome. However, some people's state-of-life gives them no chance to have some time aside. But, I see GOD giving them a special grace to meditate and connect with him in between those activities. It because He is a loving FATHER, He knows the state He has put you in and since He wants you to connect with HIM, He will help you. Ofcource if He knows you can get the time to do private meditation and you refuse to, He won't give you that special grace. *My thoughts
@@supershooter20 I am in month ten of only praying the rosary while I drive vs. listen to the radio....it makes a difference.
It is good to say it whilst doing practical things. Child of God, it's a sign of predestination that you like saying it. Our Lady must really live you.
Also I pray the rosary along with Fr Mark and Br. Malachi as part of my daily meditation. Now I will reflect on the myteries in my daily meditations.
The repetitive nature of the Rosary draws my mind away from myself and my distractions into the life of
Christ and the grace of the
Virgin Mary. I know the Rosary prayer is working when I get lost in it, am surprised and a little sorry when it's over, despite knowing that the silence that follows will be a time of quiet and personal prayer, having been brought, in a way, before the Lord through the Rosary.
I just ordered the pocket guide. Thank you. I pray sometimes in desperate times and am emotionallyu involved. But you just made me realize I need to understand the Mysteries.
Ugh I've been feeling called to do a rosary novena but have been putting it off because I'm lazy. Guess this is my push.
DO IT! October is the Month of the Rosary! Let’s go hard!
heavenly flame I started when I saw Jackie video about it! I’m already 15 days in!! I hope you start and finish it!! ☺️
I saw the Jackie one too! Yes it's time to start...... past time....
you can do the 54 day rosary...just a saying.... =) and if you want to kick it up a notch, pray all four mysteries of our Lord Hugs my friend.....
@@weallhaveanopinion Me too, 11th day now :) And i have already recieved help on issue i prayed for, hope full ir will be answered fully. Im thankfull!
I have made a decision to focus my life on the church; attend regularly (even 3 or 4 times a week when churches are in session), say my rosary a few times every day, read the Bible and other Christian literature, perhaps watch some RUclips videos periodically. And so, I looked up Rosary to do my first rosaries . I found your video, I’ve seen about half of it, and now I know I’ll be following you.
Thank you, you have a new subscriber.
Thank you for prayer tips on praying the rosary
Mary is smiling.
Thank you Father. ✝️❤️
Beautifully stated . Thank you.
I love the rosary! I always feel so blessed to to pray and meditate on the mysteries. I kinda enter a trance, I’m now in another time, in Jesus’ time. It has made me fall in love deeper with Jesus. It always reminds me that indeed Jesus walked this earth. The Bible isn’t just a big far fetched book. It’s real. The best way I’ve learnt is to read, know and miditate on your Bible. Read and understand, constantly praying the rosary, helps me meditate on the Bible.
Thank you for this video, Father. Very insightful, and an interesting approach to taking up the recitation of the Rosary. I might give it a try to see how it works for me.
Every Catholic needs to have the hallow app!! There are so many wonderful prayers, meditations, readings, and music. One being the scriptural rosary narrated by Jonathan roumie (Jesus in the chosen) it’s wonderful! Keeps you focused on the mysteries and the scripture all at the same time. No Catholic should be without it!!!
I agree, thank you
