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

Here's what Jesus said on the subject:

"And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words."

Moreover, Mary is dead.

She is in sheol, on the side of the divide where Abraham is, awaiting resurrection just like all of the saints.

So praying to her is pointless.

She didn't die on the cross. She was not resurrected on the third day. And she has zero authority to forgive you of anything.

If you say that is wrong, you are arguing with Jesus, not me.

The belief is pray to the saint the saint then approaches Jesus. The belief. The truth is catholic ritual an prayer are really to Lucifer for they all have been tricked. So then that is in innocence. But will it ever be recognized and will the Catholics ever praise Jesus? Just Look at the pope and does it really take a rocket scientist to see the evil emanate from him?

One of the important prayers in the Rosary is the Our Father, the prayer Jesus taught his disciples.
Saying the Rosary brings us to meditate on the life, death and Resurrection of Our Lord.

The Blessed Virgin promised many things to those who pray the rosary; among them it is a weapon against hell, against vice,
it defeats sin and heresies.

Praying to someone who is dead. Thou shalt not commit idolatry.

Not biblical....how many Catholics have read the bible?

The Russian and Greek Orthodox Catholics pray the rosaries also.

Satan fears and hates the Blessed Mother because of Her God-given power to defeat Him. Likewise, he fears and hates the Holy Rosary. He smiles when anti-Catholics post their tired crappola about vain repetitions, idolatry, etc., and when they denigrate those who recite Scriptural prayers and meditate on the life of Christ and His Beloved Mother.

All Christians honored and venerated the Blessed Mother for the first 1,500 years, in imitation of Jesus, Who loved and honored Her. The notion that loving and honoring the Mother of the Redeemer constitutes idolatry is one of the most tragic errors introduced by the Reformation, possibly second only to the relegation of Holy Communion to a symbolic meal.

Not all repetitive prayer is “vain”. If He were condemning all repetitive prayer, Jesus would not have added the qualifying adjective “vain”, yet lazy Protestant apologists fail to notice this very obvious fact, which nullifies their argument.

Our Lord petitioned the Father for the same thing three times while in the Garden of Gethsemane:
Matthew 26:44
And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.

The scripture passage admonishing the reader against vain repetition referred to the chest-beating public displays by the hypocritical Pharisees; contrast that with the continuous angelic praises singing in
Revelation 4:8:
And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come”.

Psalm 136 repeats the phrase “for his steadfast love endures for ever” twenty-six times in twenty-six verses.

In Daniel 3: 52-87, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are in the furnace facing execution, and they pray, “Bless the Lord…Praise and exalt him above all for ever” 36 times.

In Deuteronomy 6:4-7, the Lord commanded the Israelites to repeatedly recite the sh’mah prayer.

Yes, Jesus is God; the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Beloved Son of the Father

I have seen personally multiple instances of literally miracles due to rosary.

I'm not good at explaining and showing you in convincing way how good it is, so I will not talk about it.

I just tell you last example:

Frind of my 51 got sick with covid, eded up on ventilator, 3 months, all his organs started to fail, doc says we will disconenct hm tomorrow his lungs are done and eveything as well. Family about 12 people ask priest for rosary prayer not to heal but so he can go to heaven. Entore church was praying and fam at the hospital.
Dude woke up next day chocking on the tube, and asked for water, he lives is going good, he is weak bt he says he will not die yet.

For me this was miracle, I was one of the people in the church praying.

I'm sorry....it's been said many times....vain repetition. Once should be enough. And does anyone know of any good that ever came from saying the rosary over and over?

Exactly. Mary worship!

I’m not Catholic, but I prayed to the Madonna once in a fit of the worst physical pain I have ever felt, it had been going on for hours, I was deletions and I figured it worked for others so why not.

I was instantly healed, like immediately at the end of my prayer, a split second from excruciating agony to painless.

No rational explanation, absolutely mystical.

I’m still not Catholic, never will be, hate dogma, mistrust religious doctrines, but this I cannot deny, it happened.

I have nothing but respect now, total awe at the divine nature of existence, miracle...
