“I have NO time to sit and pray a daily rosary.”
That’s certainly possible, SO…Consider some of the many CREATIVE ways to "scatter your roses" throughout the path of your day, if needed, to honor and praise the life of Christ and His Mother, as God wishes.
Keep a rosary in your CAR (OR use just your fingers or a rosary ring), and:
† listen to a recording of the rosary (e.g. CD, mp3, etc.) and pray a decade or more:- while driving (under low-traffic and/or low road-stress circumstances)
- as a passenger in any vehicle (trains, buses, and planes included and use ear buds).
- while driving safely and turning off all electronic devices OR
- as a passenger in any vehicle (see those above).
Keep a rosary in your POCKET (OR use just your fingers or a rosary ring) and:
† pray a decade or more while:- waiting for someone, (e.g., sports practice, doctor’s office).
- waiting in any line.
- doing odd jobs that are often done on “automatic pilot” (e.g., laundry or basic cleanup).
- going for a walk – alone or w/a prayer partner
Keep “mental beads” (if that approach can work for you) or use a “rosary ring”, and pray even while showering or otherwise preparing for your day or for bedtime.
Start with only one decade per day, if needed, using the suggestions above or maybe as an “after-dinner decade” – alone or w/others. Our Lady will help you to respond with even greater success until, somehow, you’re praying all five decades daily, because you’ve found your way.
Find another way besides what you see here. Pray even if you’re angry, frustrated, or hurt. Through Our Lady, God can help us to find a path to avoid or minimize those daily “thorns.”
The Rosary is one of our greatest spiritual weapons for fighting evil daily. In a nation that tries to avoid waste, let’s not waste one of our best tactics for supporting the good, the true, and the beautiful. We are NOT alone in our struggles; let’s not act like we are. Our Lord and Our Lady are waiting to hear from YOU – and for YOU to encourage others.
