How often do you pray the Rosary?

Pope Leo XIV revealed to newlyweds Cole and Anna Stevens that his parents, Louis and Mildred Prevost, prayed the rosary together “their whole lives.” The pope explained this to the couple following their papal marriage blessing on June 11, 2025.

He advised them to pray together and “find the style” that works for them.

“First of all, it’s very important to go slowly and to find the style of prayer that works for you, we’re all different, many spiritualities,” Pope Leo explains in the video. “For myself, especially praying together with someone, from my own parents, praying the rosary together. My parents prayed the rosary together their whole lives. Every day."
