Lent

[FaithT]

For Lent I’m praying a daily rosary again. Are or can Sundays be excluded?

 

[RileyG]

It’s up to you. Traditionally, yes, Sundays are excluded.

If I may ask, do you pray the rosary out loud or silently?

God bless

Silently except once when my hubby had music on and I couldn’t concentrate without praying out loud.

Thanks for the info!

Do you pray it silently or out loud?

Out loud, because I find it difficult to concentrate otherwise.

I have problems trying to pray it at Church before Mass starts. The piano player and singer warming up makes it impossible for me to concentrate.

We usually pray the rosary before Mass at my parish.

 

[FaithT]

They pray it at another nearby parish before Mass here, too, but it’s not my parish. . I’m going there tomorrrow for Ash Wednesday and Confession. I’m going to Mass there because my parish has early morning Masses….dont want to go. A mid morning Mass for the school and a 7:00pm Mass. And why get ashes if I’m going to come home and wash my face?

Why can't we pray the Rosary on Sundays? The Glorious mysteries are for Sundays (and Wednesdays).

We can if we want to.

Sundays are a day of rest. So people can refuel or continue their Lenten commitments on Sunday. The choice is up to the individual.

That’s what I always been taught.

Correct. During Lent, it’s also nice to meditate on the sorrowful mysteries of our lord and enter more deeply into his passion.

Me too

When my Mom taught me to pray the rosary, she didn’t include the mysteries…..just prayers. I asked my pastor if that was ok and he said that there are many ways to pray the rosary and that was okay.

Yeah! That sounds ok to me!

 

[FaithT]

Yeah! That sounds ok to me!

He said as long as I focus on the Blessed Mother while I’m praying it.

So today I went to Confession, Mass, got ashes and prayed the rosary for the first time this Lent which is what I’m doing again this year instead of giving up something.
p.s. Confession was a breeze.
