Run by an order called the Society of Mary. We had the rosary every single day, and it served more as aversion therapy than anything else. Fifty years later, and I still cannot pray the rosary without getting a severe case of the fidgets.

I was educated in a Catholic high school Fortinbras Armstrong Aug 2014 #1

I think for some, it serves as a method to encourage meditation or contemplation. cbayer Aug 2014 #2

Sad to say, I don't do well with the rosary either. No Vested Interest Aug 2014 #3

Instead of the Hail Mary I say the Jesus prayer with my Rosary. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #5

Do you repeat the Jesus prayer ten times, as the Hail Mary is repeated otherwise? nt No Vested Interest Aug 2014 #6

Yes and instead of the Hail Holy Queen I say the Hail Mary and ask her to put in a good word. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #7

I believe that "good word" is sent, and received. No Vested Interest Aug 2014 #8

That's cool that so many paths use beads or knots to pray. Union Scribe Aug 2014 #4
