Anyone else pray the Rosary?

I don't think we have too many Catholics in here, but wanted to share that I pray the Rosary quite often. I find it quite comforting. Prayed it last night in it's entirety, praying for solace when I found that my college prof "awarded" me a B+ when I actually earned an A. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The Rosary is just a series of prayers, namely the Our Father, Glory Be, and Hail Mary. It's a sort of mantra I guess you could say.

I pray the Rosary. I pray it at least once a month plus it is part of every Knights of Columbus meeting I attend. I also try to bring my Rosary with me when I spend my Sundays in a tree stand.

You are correct that the Rosary is very comforting.

I just try my best to be open and honest with God in prayer and pray from the heart.

I don't pray the Rosary. I just talk to God like just the friend that He is to me.

I like to consider my prayer time a conversation with God, a relationship. There is nothing structured about it. btw, never heard of the Rosary Prayer.

praying in the name of Jesus is what the Bible teaches us to do.

Pray how you choose Chris. If the Rosary comforts you, well then, it sounds like a fine thing to do. Whether some may consider that "structured" or not open enough shouldn't even be brought up in this thread.

btw- My Mother prays the Rosary every morning and every night, the good Irish Catholic woman she is. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Muggs, I wasn't slamming him for how he prayed, I was simply stating how I pray. No harm was meant by it.

Never heard of it. But I'm not Catholic either, nor have I ever even been to a Catholic service.

Take care,
