Anyone pray the Rosary? Or have any thoughts or reflections about it?

I don't want to get into an argument with anyone here, but I come from an Irish Catholic family and for most of my adult years attended a traditional Latin Rite Mass and said the rosary daily in Latin.

It is a very powerful form of prayer, and I have had numerous incidents that were highly unusual - seeing strange lights in the sky, dead nuns I used to know walking alongside me and talking to me, strange voices at the altar during Communion or when praying alone - that I have to say that there is something to it.

Some of the incidents that happened occurred when I was attending Latin Mass daily for about a year. It actually kind of freaked me out a bit because it was almost like I felt that I was tapping into spiritual or perhaps paranormal forces or entities and I was operating in the blind. I had several really strange things happen to me at the time that I cannot explain - a flooded road, a boss that harassed me that was strangely being overpowered by random events.

So, the Rosary is very, very powerful if you say it regularly with sincere intent, especially if said in Latin and when attending a daily traditional Latin Mass. The entire religion - traditional Catholicism before Vatican II - can evoke very powerful spirituality if practiced regularly. Just attending Mass daily can have an enormous positive effect. I also think listening to Catholic music - Gregorian chant in particular - is incredibly powerful when praying the Rosary.

I also don't really question the point about idolatry. Catholics wholly believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It is part of the belief system. Worshiping the Son isn't worshiping an idol, because Catholics believe the Father and Son are the same - i.e., the concent of the Trinity.

YES. You should pray the Rosary everyday. You'll feel better too.

Well said that lady the Rosary is the way forward. Many who attacked me in the past always end up with bad luck very interesting.

We must do this now all people and all the current bs will end very quickly trust me

10 Reasons Why the Rosary Is So Powerful:

1 Peter 4:11
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

King James Version (KJV)

Colossians 2:18
“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,”

King James Version (KJV)

The 15 Promises Granted to those that Say the Rosary

[link to www.themostholyrosary.com]

Lord let all such curses become deliverance salvation. The demons behind the whole scam exposed and the blood of the Lamb upon all mariolotary Amen YAHshua

This is the answer to all our troubles

Right. Not. Your marian witchcraft. because that is what it is. Failed with the attempt to manifest the last Fatima false prohesy this month against Russia. Lord bless president Putin to out last Rome Amen YAHshua

You are correct. He is a deciever, but so are you. You disregard scripture for your own antichrist man made teachings as well.

Only one name saves: Jesus

if you don't believe in purgatory it's obvious where you're heading because if you think you have an open door to Heaven with you're sinful nature you have a surprise waiting for you

AI bot, still trying to figure out religion?

The depths of your deception demonstrates the wicked pagan nature of the RCC. My savior died that i and all others by faith in Him and through Him alone . Are saved . Your accusation is not just projection. It tells me you sin a lot regularly and to feel ok to do it again you go and confess your sins unscripturaly to a pagan priest who uses it as black mail. And saying 10 hail maries and giving money to your pagan organization just cements those demons plaguing you deeper into your life and behavior. So this explains you knowing you are not going to heaven.

Purgatory is a damned lie and has much similarity to reincarnation excuses to sin and keep on sinning.

YAHshua alone is the precious price of forgiveness and being born again.

So i suggest you repent while you have time. Amen YAHshua

Being as that name which is a transliteration of His name. Not even a true translation of His name in English. The true translation being Joshua. And that transliteration is less than 600 years old. Means you have some problems. Amongst which is unrighteous judgement. I commit to Father in YAHshua/Joshua/Jesus name Amen

Luke 11:1-13

1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.

9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”



Nothing about a Rosary there or intense repetition or chanting. Those things are NOT of God!

It's a powerful form of meditation.

Not everyone's piece of cake, but it works for a lot of little old ladies that you can still find in Roman Catholic Churches.

That is a tad disturbing. So RC.

Are you a Christian or a Roman Catholic? Not always the same thing.

I recommend the rosary and give them out free.It changed my life.Learn how to meditate on the mysteries.

i thought it was uhh... w/e.. I was drawn to the St Bridgettes Rosary because information about it on the internet seemed rare.. it had 60 beads or something

at first I thought it was kind of vampiric because.. you're just going through traumatic events over and over again.. and some of the prayers are it seems really vampiric.. all about the blood and the sacrifice... I wonder if some people actually get off on these things like, secretly..

are they all actually getting off on one huge sacrifice.. is it like, justification for all sacrifices? crazy

The most argumentative people I’ve ever encountered have been Protestants. The root of their very name is “protest”! Why do you think they have 30,000 differing denominations? It’s because they argue about everything and split off again and again and again. They cannot even agree amongst themselves.

So, pray your Rosary, do your Catholic thing, and leave questions like this out of the hands of protesting, argumentative Protestants.

Yes its outright occult. And a proscribed occult practice according to scripture.

RCC is pagan to its core. And no surprise that practitioners of its occult theocracy will promote the great deceptions it engages in. Rcc is not a church of YHVH.

CATHOLICS, ASK YOURSELVES THESE QUESTIONS:

1. How did the devout pray before the 1540's when rosaries were created?

2. WHY were they invented?

3. Why do you need to REPEAT the same prayers time and again while saying the rosary ritual?

I'll answer these questions in separate posts, but here's the first one:

1. They used little spell-books of incantations identical to those used by pagans for 1,000 years previously. In ancient Rome -and long before Jesus' birth- small tablets were made/sold by temple Priests that listed appropriate pleas for each God and with so many official dieties, they were a BIG business. Along with books of incantations, there were detailed instructions on sacrifices: which animals were to be slaughtered to achieve specific results, how they were to be killed and even the time of day, week or month the blood ritual was to be performed. With all the different Gods, temples had massive libraries devoted to their appeasement so there was no limit to how many tablets Priests could sell to the desperately faithful. This made the entire process of prayer very cumbersome for those pagans, but a highly profitable one for the temples. Polythesism was a very complicated belief system!

So, when Christianity was formalized in the 5th century AD. the shift was an easy one as the Priests of the new religion simply moved from many Gods to only one and largely eliminated the need for personal sacrifices, instead substituting what much later became known as "acts of contrition."

But, there were still so many prayers that only Priests were expected to remember them all so those profitable little prayer books remained essential for those seeking God's intervention. And, it took several more centuries of gradually dropping older invocations altogether while writing newer ones that had a broader sense and thus making it easier to achieve the same results. Prayers became fewer and the little books containing them more streamlined.

In ancient Latin, prayer books were called "hortulus animae" - but more about that later!

The word "prayer" dates from roughly 1300AD and it comes from the earlier Latin "Precaria" which meant a "plea to the Gods." But incantations they were and incantations they remained.

WHY were rosaries invented?

2. In a word, illiteracy. As the new Christian religion officially replaced Polytheism the decline of Rome followed quickly as the people were suddenly bereft of spiritual practices that had sustained them very well for over 1,000 years. And as the new church expanded, so too did its authority over every aspect of society. While the ancient Gods granted considerable leeway for their expressions of devotion [Example: if you couldn't afford a Goat to sacrifice, three Chickens would suffice!], the new singular one did not. Doctrines became rigid and the church rituals more formalized. The faithful were ordered to attend churches in-person where the prayers were read aloud and then repeated by the congregorio - who were instructed to memorize them as they did so to later share with others who could not attend holy gatherings. This process also enabled the Priests to bring in a constant supply of newly ignorant supplicants to replace those who had already learned the official prayers. While still used, those little prayer books were slowly being replaced by face-to-face encounters.

The church's influence was so great they dictated every aspect of daily lives as they destroyed academies of learning and unauthorized apprenticeships; if the church stamp of approval was lacking, businesses were hounded into failure. Society soon suffered and thus began the Dark Ages that commenced in the early 1300's and lasted for about 900 years.

As church control expanded, so too did illiteracy. The church was fine with this since it allowed the clergy even greater control over the people, who could only find an education within the church itself... but only for those wealthy enough to afford the tuition! So what about the prayers of the indigent ignorant?

The church taught that every single prayer must be uttered in a specific manner or else God wouldn't act upon them and to make sure those prayers were repeated correctly, Priests would travel to small villages to teach those prayers and make sure the church influences remained intact. And this practice continued until the post-Renaissance by which time the authority of Holy See was firmly established throughout the old Roman empire and beyond.

By the 1540's enough people had learned -and shared- those prayers that the rosary was created to give the faithful a means of ensuring they didn't forget a single one during their daily devotions because while the uneducated may not be able to read a prayer book, but they could easily count those beads and repeat the old simplified invocations word-for-word.

And -just like the prayer books of old- those rosaries created a new cottage-industry for the church. Nunnery novitiates strung those beads until they went blind so the rosaries could then be sold to the faithful... but it was dictated that only prayers uttered while fingering rosaries that were blessed by a Priest held the power of gaining God's ear. And while Priests were more than happy to bless homemade strings of beads, they always encouraged a donation to the church while doing so. Today, rosaries are mass-produced [ironically, guess where?] so entire crates are blessed by priests at one time... the same way the Pope blesses 50-gallon drums of holy water that are later sold in little vials to Vatican tourists.

WHY are prayers repeated when saying the rosary?

3. There are two reasons for this- with only one actually valid- and both go back to the original Latin term for a prayer book.

In ancient Rome, prayer books were called "hortulus animae" which meant a "little garden for the soul," with each incantation a metaphorical flower blossom that was sent up to the Gods.

Those incantations were followed with an animal blood sacrifice [but let's NOT forget the tale of Abraham who was ordered by God to knife his own son!] since as we all know, nothing sanctifies quite like an open vein. BTW: before anyone starts to point fingers, virtually all religions have blood sacrifices lurking somewhere in their distant origins!

The word "rosary" comes from the Latin "Rosarium" which meant a Rose garden. And by the 1540's -when those first strings of blessed beads were sold- each individual bead/invocation represented a Rose sent to the virgin Mary for her to wear as a garland as a mantle around her shoulders. That's why rosary prayers are directed toward her: "holy Mary, Mother of God..."

The second -and more accurate- reason for the rosaries was as a control-mechanism. To combat the old out-of-sight-out-of-mind problem, those strings of beads worn around a neck [or today hanging from a car's rear view mirror] are a constant reminder of who is firmly in charge. Then as now it's the Holy See, the only "true" representatives of God here on earth. We may not see too many of those little dashboard statues anymore, but those blessed strings of beads are still a required theological statement.

So, the commanding doctrines of the 1500's are as sternly prevalent today as they were back then: pray that rosary every day, or else.

And everything you describe has its roots in Paganism -and related sorcery- going all the way back to ancient Egypt where temple Priests chanted as they performed their own pre-Gregorian rituals. Stop and actually THINK about what you just wrote.

Remember: witches perform masses too, because their religion has the same roots as all the rest! And just like your claim that classic Latin makes everything more official, Paganists say the same thing as they invoke ancient Druid incantations in Celtic. And not to put too fine a point on it, but their religion is much older than your own!

So: who's right and who's wrong? The older I get the more I believe you're ALL pretty fucked-up.
