Why I Pray the Rosary

- In talking about the Rosary, Matt Fradd starts at the beginning-the beginning of his journey of learning what it is and how powerful it can be.
He started out thinking it was just a weird necklace old ladies held onto during Mass, but he grew to learn how some of the most influential saints in the world considered the Rosary to be among the most formidable weapons against evil.
Matt strongly recommends making an effort to pray the Rosary, starting small if you have to. He talks about the obstacles we need to overcome, and the excuses we make that prevent us from praying this holy prayer.
Ascension has a new book on the Rosary by Matt Fradd, A Pocket Guide to the Rosary (bit.ly/2qFmrhz). Follow the link to take a look.

When my bf passed away last oct of this year, I started to pray the rosary everyday... This is my best companion when I feel so lonely and sad... my bf taught me to pray the rosary... he is my angel now in heaven.
YES, he's in Heaven for Sure.
Bless you .
Wow this is so godly timing. My fiancé passed away 6 months ago tomorrow and when we were together we would pray often, he brought me back to my relationship with Christ. After his death I would pray the rosary with his family everyday for 10 days ... lately my grief has been amplified and I turned to the rosary for solace.. it has been a huge comfort
Carolina Herrera That’s so hard... I’m praying for you, friend. Treat yourself well. Peace be with you. ❤️🙏❤️
I am praying for you.. stay strong during these hard times! Have faith! You will see him again. God bless you! ❤️🙏❤️
I’m sorry to hear about your bf. please let me know his name and I’ll include him in my prayers. My wife left this earth a few months ago and a series of extraordinary events lead me to Mary and the Rosary. May God bless my wife, Samantha. Please pray for her soul x
The Rosary helped me to stop and resist sins. It helps a lot!

@hope hope I read my bible daily! I try to do reconciliation and confession weakly. When I am tempted or angry with someone I say Hail Mary full of Grace or Ave Maria piena di Grazia or Selam Neaki O Mariam or O Mariam Selam Leki Dinghl BeHilinaki we Dinghil Be Sigaki..... and all the temptation and anger is GONE in the Name Of Jesus!!! No evil will come close to you when u hold close His Dear Mother!

If you get sick,do you go to the doctor or the mother of the doctor?
William Douglas what about what pope Francis 13 said?
The rosary has brought me closer to God, especially during this time. I am suffering from a painful disease and it has increased my faith a lot.
I pray you get better soon, Amen.

I love her but jesus died for us
Praying for you as well! I went through 4 years of bad medical problems including an incurable progressive disease that was completely cured on January 23rd of this year in church during hands on healing, the rosary helped me to actually take that leap of faith since I believed that jesus healed but I didn't think he did very often now except for some rare cases, but the last thing he said before ascending to heaven was that followers of his would lay hands on the sick in his name and they would be healed, the priest who brought the healing service to our parish has some amazing stories of full healing of the worst situations, and since my healing I've gone back several times and seen many myself as well! I strongly encourage you look up hands on healing or the Missionary's of the New Evangelization website and try it! And even if it doesn't work right away, keep trying! All we have to do is have faith and lay our hands on the sick, and Jesus does the rest! Either he'll heal you or give you the peace of mind that he will use all of what you're going through to create even more good for as long as he'll allow before resolving your problem through either medical means or healing. Just sit with your palms up on your lap and say "Jesus I surrender, come holy spirit" until you feel "drunk on the holy spirit." For the people laying their hands on you, listening to/singing worship music helps get in that state of mind. Praying for you!
I pray the rosary every day put my alarm on at 6pm. It helps me get through everything. I never worried whatever comes my way. I learned to Trust God, My mom taught us to pray the rosary when i was 9 years old, I have 3 siblings. Praying the rosary help my dad come back home safely when he was working in Saudi Arabia during gulf war in middle east.He is a good provider. 🙏
Juat pray to JESUS. I used to be Catholic but it's all wrong. Praying repetitive words using Rosary beads is forbidden.
FACT: Catholics pray repetitive words with Rosary Beads that were first invented in 1090 AD, by "Peter the Hermit" and made popular by St. Dominic in 1208 AD. Catholics believe that Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1208 AD, at the church of Prouille and revealed the Rosary Beads to him. From this time, Catholics prayed 15 sets of 10 consecutive "hail Marys" in a row (150 times), in the Rosary. However, in 2003 AD, Pope John Paul added a new set of Mysteries, so now it is 20 sets of 10 "Hail Marys", (200 times in the Rosary, in total.) Catholics will vainly appeal to Psalm 136 that alternates the same phrase 26 times with 26 different blessings God gives us. It is not 26 in a row as with the rosary! This is also a song, not a prayer. Revelation 4:8 has "angels singing" not "men praying".
Historical note: Roman Catholics borrowed the idea of praying with beads from the pagan religions who were already using them hundreds of years before: In 456 AD, Hindus are thought to have introduced the concept of praying with beads to the world. The earliest reference to a rosary (boberkhas) is in their "Jain Canon" (456 AD) These boberkhas had various numbers of beads 6,9,12,18,36 (any sub-multiple of 108) Islam (610 AD) uses a rosary of 99 beads, one for each of the names of God. Buddhists have 108 prayer beads on the string. The Rosary is of pagan origin and no Christian prior to 1000 AD used beads to pray.

You still are even though you are now a lapsed catholic
Joe thats moral do in catholic faith why its because we respect Mary us a mother of GOD. If your God do not respect his mother how bad moral your God have. May be your pastor is most brilliantly than the holiest people in catholic church.
@@Joe-fw6du jesus. Took care of this in the New Testament, keep reading..
Do you say the Angelus when the clock strikes 6 before you begin your rosary?
I’m starting to become catholic and a few weeks ago I spoke with my local priest. He asked how I felt about Mary, I told him and he left the room. He came back in and said “got one of these?” And dropped a rosary in my hand. I was overjoyed. It’s like a catholics secret weapon. It’s got an incredibly detailed crucifix and the pendant has an equally detailed Jesus and Mary on the other end, black beads and made in Italy 👍
a powerful tool- great story!
Come to Jesus instead of Mary 🤍🕊❕

Ok, anyway, that out of the way I love the Rosary and without question the Rosary changed my life. Our Lady obtained graces for me to break some serious habitual sins I had been enslaved to and Our Lady obtained graces for me to convert my life. All this through the Rosary. If you are reading this and are looking to return to Christ but feel that sin has too strong of a hold on you it is no accident. You are reading this because you need to pray the ROSARY. Once I started praying the Rosary daily, so many miraculous changes that I never thought possible began happening. And continue to happen. I am still very much a work in progress. But Our Lady and her Rosary is guiding my path. Thank you Mother Mary. Ad Jesum Per Mariam!
Right on, brother! Thanks for your witness. Our Lady does nothing but intercede for us before Her Son, and lead us to Jesus.
I'm so glad i read your comment. I too am struggling to overcome some habitual sins and I am trusting our lady to help me through the rosary.

Saying Rosary helps me overcome anxiety, depression and almost i lost my life. Thank you for this prayer will continue pray this daily
So happy to hear that God Jesus Christ bless protect you from everything evil amen 🙏
I've been praying rosary (one decade) everyday for almost a year now. Feels good man
Though this is good you should definitely challenge yourself to say 5 mystries a day.
Take it to the next level and start praying the 5 decades. You will get closer to God, you will understand things that you were not able to before.
It takes just 30 mins of your day but it does so much to your soul.
Juat pray to Jesus dont need beads to MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.
This is WRONG because Jesus Would have told us to do it. Your was made up hundreds and hundreds of years later. Look what Jesus said to do. It's all in The Bible he left us. The same Bible your priest looks at. But he doesn't tell you. I used to be Catholic. But I picked up The Bible and found out it was all wrong that we were taught. "TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!!!"

@@Joe-fw6du what you call meaningless repetition are the words that the Angel spoke to Mary asking Her if she was willing to be Jesus mother. Those words spoken by the Angel, and the words spoken by Mary's cousin, those same words are found in the Bible. When we say these words we confess that Jesus came in the flesh.
You call them meaningless?!

Since Jesus(before HE manifest in the flesh) created ALL THINGS... And this includes mary(HIS mother) shouldnt we pray to JESUS. Since HE is GOD.
I love her to but she didnt die for us KING JESUS DID. so what about HAIL JESUS.

@MiniCatholic Nerd
If it's not in Scripture then we should even pray to it. We don't need Mary to help us. Jesus died for us not Mary. When you pray to her you are braking the 1st and 2nd commandments,
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me"
and,
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"
Ty! I've been recently attacked nightly with severely demonic nightmares since I started reading the bible. I think I'll start doing the rosary. Thanks again & God bless!
The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results...
As a non-Catholic, this was very informative. Thank you. I understood that there was a prayer for each bead but that's it. I love this concept of a sort of tangible meditation.
Deseret Home for me it very much is a total body meditation., My heart is occupied with the mystery, my mind is occupied with prayer, and my hands are occupied with the beads. For me its a way of transporting myself every day into the scenes from the Gospel and how to better love Christ. ✌️🙏📿
Come on you know there is no reason to say Hail Mary she didn't die for us why about HAIL KING JESUS.

"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. Matthew 6:7
Joe first the rosary is Christ centered. “Hail” means “hello” From Latin Ave. No prayer is vain or repetitive unless one offers it insincerely or for show. What then would we make for our Lord who prayed for hours the same prayer “not my will but thy will be done”? The gospels Matt 26, Mark 15, Luke 22. Further attest that not only did Christ pray the same prayer he repeatedly found his disciples asleep and told them to pray the same thing that they would not fall into temptation.
By contrast pagan prayer like for the Romans was about making long lists of chants that had to be perfectly recited otherwise risk offending the gods and at least have your petition denied and worse be struck down; ref King Tullus Hostilius.
Your objections of there being some sort of pagan cultural overlap isn’t substantiated by the fact the Orthodox monks were repeating the Jesus prayer on prayer ropes as early as the 2nd century AD.
@@paulhill7726 I agree, I don't understand the focus on the "hail" that I see too often... that prayer is prayed in so many languages that don't use the word "hail", so how is that an argument at all against the Ave Maria?
@@Joe-fw6du you forgot to mention that Orthodoxes also use beads (or knots) for prayer, so it is not uniquely the Catholics that do in Christianity, although not the rosary... not even mentioning the different Protestants that do use beads very similar to the rosary... so why you focus only on Catholics in your comment? seems like a vendetta or something to me.
Hospital gift shops carry rosaries! That's where I got mine. I went to a Catholic hospital gift shop while visiting a patient, picked up something for him, and bought my own very first non-plastic rosary. It was kind of a big deal. Out of curiosity I stopped at the public hospital gift shop while visiting another patient, and they have them too. Funny thing, I wasn't practicing the Faith when I bought this rosary. I "meant" to have it blessed, because my thinking was that blessings were "cool," but I forgot to take it with me on those rare times that I went to Mass. I did start to pray it regularly though -- while I was traveling for work, far from home, family and friends, in a stressing work environment. Every night at 9PM I prayed with Mother Angelica and the Sisters. I actually didn't really know how to pray it until then. After about a year, I had a sudden, dramatic conversion and went to Confession. I had my rosary with me, and got it blessed right after making my Confession. I have no doubt that praying the Rosary regularly contributed to my return to the Faith -- it wasn't the only thing, first I had to be led to want a rosary, and to want to pray it, but that's a very long story.
Really? Wonderful testimony. I would love to hear it all. May Father Almighty bless you. 🙌. Amen. 🌾🌾🌻🌻🌴💛
Even if you don't have kids in the house but a dog that needs company, I said the rosary while I was watching him walk around. He eventually got quiet and sleepy. It was rather peaceful and beautiful.
I love the rosary,I'm happy that God had made a way that I will learned to pray it,I started praying the rosary since I was 8 years old and I have not stopped eversince,I feel so blessed,praying the rosary gives me the confidence that whatever happens I am not alone I am loved so loved only by God and Mama Mary.
That's a beautiful message. God bless you!

Go to John 21:25 what do you think it means? If you think that you are able to validly interpret scripture how do you explain some 30 thousand different churches disagreeing with each other? Yet they are using the same text. Do you miss the Eucharist now that you are lapsed? Come back to Jesus Christ in the church He instituted
@@barrymcgrath4303 I will pray for you 🙏🙏🙏
I do too! I have so much trouble sleeping at night, but after I pray the rosary, I am filled with so much peace and fall asleep within 10 minutes. That's a miracle for me lol. Usually it takes 1-2 hours.
I found that meditating about the mysteries of faith is a great way to keep my life on track and on focus to live it as Christ wants me to live it
There is always a blessing granted with a rosary devoutly prayed.
I was always a little skeptical about the rosary, but after praying it, there's really nothing quite like it. Plus, if you're like me and feel weird about praying after years of being non-religious, I think it's a pretty good way to get back into it. If you've got a half hour of free time and need something to fill it with, you can't go wrong with this.

Persist, i pray alone sometimes, but also join online for support.
I love praying the rosary daily. Sometimes i pray it twice
Monday through Friday, during the school year, after rising and taking my shower I pray the entire rosary: Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious. I just make myself, day in day out. Saturday and Sunday I shoot for one mystery….
Wonderful explanation thanks so much! I started praying the Rosary when I was becoming a Christian (as a student). It was one of the first things I picked up. Daily, since then, for almost 20 years now. It has been such a blessing!
The rosary made me realized all the lapses i had as a Catholic Christian and it helped me a lot to be drawn close to Christ ❤️
Bless you God Jesus Christ amen 🙏
I have both a Major Depressive Disorder and a Severe Anxiety Disorder. I've only recently started praying the Rosary, but I find it super helpful when I start overthinking as people with anxiety tend to do. It really calms me down.
God bless and help you to stay in grace 🙏
Yes! Just pray it! If you aren't feeling it, that's O.K. It's just a good discipline and Mary will bless those who pray it daily. Go for it!
The nice thing about any prayer is that God is never impressed by our powers of concentration or verbal competence. He looks at the heart, and our determination to express what is in it.
Thank you, Matt! Every time our blessed mother has appeared to her children on earth she has suggested that we pray the rosary everyday in order to get closer to her son! So in honor of her request I do and I highly recommend it!!
"This is the most Holy and the most powerful beads for us Roman Catholics, this is second to a holy mass and should be recited more than practiced in every catholic household for world peace and our spiritual salvation in the end times period.🙏
Yes! That's exactly why I do the Rosary, because the great ones all swore by it and they know way more than me.
I have found the Rosary to be such a convenient way to pray. I found that while on a packed commuter train I prayed the beads, focusing on whatever mystery concerned. I found that I was really calm and chilled out in an otherwise stressful environment. It is such a flexible prayer that it can be prayed in separate decades whenever is convenient. Initially it took me a while to get the hang of it but now it is as easy as cycling a bike.
The rosary is the only weapon who can defeat Satan, a lot of people still praying it in Lebanon, I am happy to announce that I will start to pray it again soon.
noel doumit not soon..now!
God bless protect you from everything evil amen 🙏 pray pray and pray God will listen 🙏
THANK YOU for freeing me from the guilt of feeling I have to pray it "perfectly."
Yes! Finally a rosary video. Rock. On.
I love the rosary because meditating on it provokes me to prayer (making other intentions) and connects me to Jesus. my favourite is the sorrowful and the luminous mysteries. Especially the fourth of the luminous "The Transfiguration"
God bless protect you from everything evil amen 🙏
I have been praying the rosary daily for a year and a half and don’t feel like it’s doing anything, but I have made some very drastic changes in my life in that time. I will continue to pray the rosary and do the daily readings and novenas that come at certain times and I feel my life slowly changing for the better and the joy I am filled with is indescribable.
God bless protect you from everything evil amen 🙏
I’m a life long catholic and understand all the comments made in this video.
How do you really meditate on the various mysteries when at the same time the prayer is being said:
“HailMaryfullofgracetheLordiswiththeeblessedareyouamongwomenandblessedisthefruitofthywombJesusholyMarymotherofGodprayforussinnersnowandatthehourofourdeathamen”
I prayed Rosary everyday and Thanks God you always answered my prayer!..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen to our lord Jesus Christ! Bless and protect us sinners for ever and ever amen 🙏
Thank you so much for your testimonial -coming from a young man who has 4 kids, it's wonderful and truly inspiring to encourage us to pray the rosary. I do it daily and it helps a lot, especially at this moment!
Beautiful testimony in the Rosary Matt. People praying the Rosary is so important in this time of crisis. Do me a favor and pray for me when you pray it will you? I'm doing the same for you each day
God bless you always. May our Lord Jesus Christ with you always. May our Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph protect you always
Viva Cristo Rey and Ave Maria!
after praying the rosary I haven't feel alone, Our lady our best intercessor. God bless you for this post
Yes at first I didn't pray the Rosary much but now I do more
So happy to hear that ! Lord Jesus help protect and forgive you and the whole world amen 🙏
Praying the Rosary will change your life FOR THE GOOD
I love the bit at the end about the kids and your expression (lol). True story: When my youngest two have gotten rowdy or misbehaved, I've had them sit and pray the rosary; sometimes together, sometimes one at a time. I would sit behind them to make sure they're sitting up and paying attention. My littlest boy (6 years old), he would eventually start to rock off balance from nodding off, but he didn't completely tap out. My youngest daughter (9), she actually said it made her feel much calmer (a "wow" moment for me). As a child even into adulthood, I used to wonder how it was that people prayed the rosary over and over, without falling asleep - but I have been delving into informative videos like yours, and realizing how much deeper and meditative it gets - it's a spiritual maturity, to understand it and love it. Thank-you.
Started praying the Rosary just over a year ago!!! It saved my mental health, it was a life saver!! I investigated why and discovered so many wise and saintly people prayed it, these were intelligent wise saints!! Also, our Blessed Mother has asked us to pray this way!!
St. Louis de Montfort .... great writer on praying the Rosary!!
Thank you Matt!!
God bless you!!
I remember how often my Grandma would pray the Rosary, every day, in the kitchen at the same time she'd pray it with the Catholic Radio station playing a recording of St. Pope John Paul II leading it.
When I'd visit her in Poland, it'd be my punishment to join her as a little kid when I misbehaved. I wish I didn't view it as a punishment, I wish I joined happily. But now every time I go to mass I come 40 minutes early just to pray it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Commitment to the rosary really is an anchor what an awesome way to put it... and honestly saying the rosary with kids will seriously put one on the path to sainthood lol! We committed to daily family rosary a couple years ago and honestly it HAS CHANGED US we have so much joy and Our Lady is still working on us. We are sooooo blessed. I find for me if ever the rosary becomes a chore I say it more! Then it goes back to being a joy. Thanks Matt.
I love to pray the holy rosary daily . specially at dawn ( 3 Am )
Bless and help protect you and the whole world 🙏
Thank you for your video. It is very encouraging. I started praying the rosary daily and I do not feel alone. I feel calmer and more charitable. I always feel more peaceful after praying the rosary. Can you do a video on the 54 day rosary novena, talk about prayers answered saying the rosary and also talk about your rosary. It looks like a nice rosary for males. Thank you again 🙏
I completely understand about praying it with young children!! Haha it is a challenge and I feel bad for having to stop so many times while praying it, however once I'm done I feel good about the rest of my day!! I'm going to check your book out and put it on my Christmas list. Thank you Matt Fradd!
Rosary helped bring me back to the Faith
Amen amen bless and protect you and the whole world amen 🙏
I wouldn't say Mary is the way to Jesus but I have been blessed in my prayer life. I think I am just an average Christian in my prayer life but so many believers don't commit to regular prayer for some reason. I keep a file on my computer to remind me of the various requests I've received.
Thank you for sending the message of Our Queen of the Angels . May the Blessed Mother smile and bless you my friend. Holy Immaculate One , Mother of the Divine Majesty , Our Lady of Grace pray for us .
I pray the Rosary daily🌹It definitely changed my life and blessings come your way unexpectedly. Mother Mary was given with overflowing graces by Jesus and all we have to do is to ask and receive it through her Rosary💖
Thankyou so much for sharing...the beautiful inspiring insights on the Holy Rosary...The Ascension team ...thankyou...Prayers.
When I first decided to try praying the rosary every day, I found out a little after that it was during the month of the Rosary - which I found very interesting. I went into and out of the habit, but I am back to praying it daily again. I find myself much more at peace when I keep this devotion.
Pray pray and pray and pray bless you and the whole world amen 🙏
I pray the rosary everyday. I used to hate it but now I won't let a day go by without praying it. I offer it up to ask God, through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, to heal this broken world in so many things...
Another great video blog, Matt! May Jesus and Mary bless and protect you as you lead others closer to Christ! I too, have found that Mary is the shortest, easiest, safest path to Her Son. Alleluia!
Ad Jesum Per Mariam!
Jesus is the only way to the father. There is nothing that separates us from his love
I love our Mom and the relationship I have with her!!
Thank you Matt. Excellent video! I particularly liked when you said the Rosary is a Bible Study on beads. Makes sense!
Sharing your enthusiasm for praying the Rosary was so enjoyable , but I must missed your name. Thank you.
pls pray the rosary ,the power of the rosary changes me thank you to the blessed Mother Mary
Thank you. I will try to pray the rosary as much as I can. You are very inspiring.
Amen 🙏
We should pray the rosary everyday, start small. It help me a lot I have a lot of peace.
O lord Jesus help you stay in grace!
Another Saint that swore by the rosary was Saint Don Bosco! He has many qoutes in short saying that whenever you pray to Mary she will quickly act!
Love this video Matt! Please talk about these things (prayers, saints etc) more often!
God bless you and your family Matt, may our dear Mother cover you all under her mantle.
Praying the rosary is so much fun 🙏
Ugh. So timely. I love you.
So glad you enjoy the holy rosary. I say it every morning at 5am. It sets my soul on fire for the day ahead. Love your show. Be well.
G’day! Thank you for this video. My mum is from Brisbane.
I feel like Ive never really gotten the hang of the rosary, I will definitely order your guide. Thanks!
Doesn't ship til January 😭😭 Well guess I'll have something to look forward to.
Pray the Rosary with online support like Rte Fatima Crusade, a great way to learn and be supported in prayer.
amen,i did not asked many in my prayer toGod i just pray rosary all i need it happened God will make away,
Finally a rosary video.
My child and I searched Rosary on RUclips and Matt, you were among those that came up. We're so blessed to get to know you. Subscribed to your channel now.
Have you heard about the 54 Rosary Novena? That is really, really powerful. I would say that the Rosary has and is taking me on a very profound journey with Christ. It will completely change your life. X
Always take the time to pour your heart out to speak to God thru Christ ❤ I promise hes the great high priest that mediates between human and God. Love you!! #loveandfaith
I love that you follow Jesus by practicing both Eastern and Roman Catholic tradition. Great stuff, Matt!
Thank you Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!
av3maria Mary did nothing for you. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. I recommend you asking Jesus how you should pray and he will teach you. You can talk directly to Jesus
Matt is fantastic to listen to. I have learned a lot from him.
I joined a Catholic church a few months ago. I just prayed the Rosary for the first time with a Sacred Heart of Jesus candle lit and I felt really good after doing it.
Wow welcome to the truth and the only beautiful Jesus Christ! God bless protect you from everything evil amen 🙏
A wise man St Maxmilian Kolbe said " never be afraid of loving Mary too much as you can never Love her as much as Jesus did"
Ave Maria 🙏
I love the image of the anchor!
I pray the rosary daily and thank you very much for your missionary work for the rosary.
Rosary will help and protect you from evil amen 🙏
I need a very strong helping prayer for my dad to recover from his heart attack please ,is the rosary prayer the best?!
Marys prayers are more powerful than ours!!
🙏📿 pray in faith ask our Lady to give you more faith hope and love. I will be praying for your family also
The Rosary is very powerful and asking the blessed Mother to intercede for you is also very meritorious .Ill pray for his healing also the hardest thing humanly speaking is to surrender it over to Jesus and trust I hope he's ok.
God Bless.
The most powerful prayer is Mass.
Go to Mass every day if you can, and yes pray the rosary daily, not only for your father, but for all that are ill, for the priests, the youth, the families.
May God hear your prayers and may your father soon recover.
+JMJ+
Pray all 4 sets of mysteries daily. The Mass is the greatest prayer. Go Daily.
AMDG
Magnificat
love your work fraddsinator
Aussie accent? Fantastic!!! Oh, nearly forgot-I pray the Rosary Every day, no matter how I feel". Great video!
I loved when you compared the Rosary to an anchor. I use the Anglican Rosary to meditate on scripture and to pray. It is a discipline, though, for sure!
I Love the Holy Rosary
Bless and protect you from everything evil amen 🙏
God loves you.
Meditating on The Gospel of Jesus Christ; to help conform to Him; and intercede for others, circumstances in the world is a great prayer.
I'm a huge study of the Christian faith and I have been struggling with one thing. FEAR! I have suffered my whole life. I went from being jailed to being homeless, from homeless to kidnapped, from kidnapped to being homeless again. Most of my adult life so far has been suffering of some sort. I have gone through the worst possible suffering and been close to death several times. I have gotten to the point where I almost gave up on my own recovery. But recently I have listened to the words of priests and pastors. The words of traveling missionary at work and I found that the truth is more comforting than sitting here watching RUclips videos about how untrue the Bible is. I have the Catholic answers Bible and I have a king James Bible. Only difference is one has more books than the other. I feel like I use the rosary for praying the Divine Mercy chaplet and the rosary not so much.
God bless you guys!
God bless protect you and the whole world amen 🙏
As a Catholic charismatic I have been struck by a connection between the rosary and praying in tongues. With both, you choose to pray aloud, but your thoughts are not on what your voice and lips are doing but on the Lord and the prayer of your spirit to Him.
I love your ecplanation
Lovely words!
