Hello everyone I just wanted to spread the word on the rosary confraternity. It's amazing we must bring it back. You must pray the full rosary every week at least. To be in the confraternity and you must join online they will add you in. http://www.rosary-center.org/nroscon.htmBasically if you pray at least one full rosary every week. Everyone who is in the confraternity prays for you as well. That's hundreds of thousands of people. Even after your death the prayers still benefit you. For example if you go to purgatory you will get out much quicker with all those people praying for you. This is a amazing commitment to make. It will change your life trust me. Also when you die you will be really really really happy you joined it. The confraternity was started by ST. Dominic about 500 years ago. Mary came to him and told him to start it. To get the people to stop their sinfulness and repent. It saved and helped all of the people back then. They repented and stopped there wickedness. It gave them tons of grace. They have a book on this. It's called Secrets Of The Rosary. Everyone please join and spread this to friends and family. Also did you know? You place a crown of roses and flowers on the head of Jesus and Mary every time you pray a rosary and those roses and flowers never wilt they last for eternity. Just a little extra incentive to join and make a commitment to the confraternity. :) It's all in the book everyone should read it. God bless I love you all <3 http://www.rosary-center.org/nroscon.htmP.S. bye bye everyone going to spend most of my time reading the bible now. Need to engrave all of it into my heart.

I used to pray the Rosary daily with my family. I have gotten out of the habit due to a series of events in our life, but it is time to get back in.
I like the idea of spreading it out over a week. The new mysteries add that little bit of extra time that make it harder for me to do the full Rosary daily, but a mystery each day works nicely. If I could focus better on the bus, I could still do a full one each day, but there are too many distractions and my mind wanders too much in the morning commute to do it justice.

Awesome. And I don't think God deducts points for mixing it up. It is a beautiful prayer no matter how you pray it. So long as it is done with the right intent.
The site has the details on the proper form, and some MP3 downloads which I might take advantage of. I have one on my MP3 player, but I would like one on my huband's iPod so we can pray it at night with a little extra help.

God be with you always Kingofkings this was very nice and I joined and I played the Ava Mariea and cried, because it brought back memories and I felt her pain,she is beautiful and she did suffer so, but when she saw her son after he rose from the dead she must have not been able to even speak.God knows the tears of a mother and he stores them up and counts everyone.Father knows,his love for Mary is so wonderful he did not want her to be the center of gossip and hurt.She is to good to be on any old forum with disrespect to her. I still don't know what the 15 mysteries are? I don't know how to do this right.B3

Here you are:
How to Pray the Rosary
There are now four sets of Mysteries, with the Luminous being the newest added by Pope John Paul II:
quote:
The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events or mysteries in the history of our salvation, and to thank and praise God for them. There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five JOYFUL MYSTERIES, the five LUMINOUS MYSTERIES, the five SORROWFUL MYSTERIES, and the five GLORIOUS MYSTERIES.
The page also has the prayers and structure of the Rosary, very cool.
And if you want something you can print off and use, please see the following link - it has a PDF that has everything at your fingertips.

If you download the MP3s, you can probably follow along with them.

Ever since time just about the hebrews and Arabs and most people back then used b eads to pray why was this not transfered to the Protestants? They never pray much now that I think of it and we all need to pray every day we are not saved until we are judged at the coming of the Lord since we can fall out of his grace how can we be saved?B3

They just broke with tradition. If a person believes that they are saved no matter what, then the need to pray often just vanishes.
One does not have to pray the Rosary to be saved, but it is such a wonderul and even powerful devotion. It provides instruction on the life of Christ through the Mysteries, and bedded on a base of prayers.
The principle is that everything is kept busy with the Rosary - we are using our body to move the beads and our posture to pray, we are meditating on the mysteries while praying this keeps our mind occupied. These leaves nothing left for Satan to play with.
Muslims do use prayer beads that are very similar to the Rosary, but they use it to recite the attributes of Allah. I was looking on line and it seems that there are Anglican prayer beads too. The Church of England separated from the Catholic Church only because of the Pope's refusal to annul King Henry VIII's marriage. They retained a lot of the traditions of the catholic Church which is why High Anglicans (the more traditional branch) find it so easy to come home to the Catholic Church.
I also found instructions for Lutheran prayer beads to be used for Lent.
These Protestant prayer beads are not the same as the Rosary, they have modified them to suit their own faith traditions, but the basic idea is the same.
There are many different styles of prayer beads in the Catholic Church - we have chaplets as well as different styles of Rosaries. Chaplets are for different types of prayer devotions, with varying numbers of beads.

That's OK. Do you mean five decades or one mystery? Once around the Rosary?
It is perfectly accept able to do one mystery at a time. And there is even a schedule that is popular for those that one to pray the Rosary over the course of a week instead of all at once.
Check out this site with the schedule:
EWTN - The Holy Rosary
It also has some good links to break it down with nice meditations.

Under the old system with three mysteries, I used to be able to pray the full Rosary in an hour, and yes I did that daily. Twenty minutes per mystery. I was not too keen when they added another set of mysteries, but the Luminous mysteries are part of His life and are a nice addition.
These days, I like the scheduled version with one set per day. But there is nothing wrong with praying the full Rosary on a daily basis. I just prefer to be able to do it properly and not have it interupted.
