Praying the Rosary

[eBeth]

Hello all,

I have a few questions about praying the Rosary.

I have seen the single decade Rosary and I'm interested in knowing how you pray it.

Can you pray the rosary in parts? For example, Say I'm at work and get a 10 minute break. Can I say just one mystery, then go back to work, then say another mystery later, and so on until I have said the entire Rosary.

Also, what posture should I have while saying the Rosary. I usually sit on my bed, or in my favorite chair. I also like to walk, and have to walk quite a bit as I don't have a car. Can I say the Rosary while walking?

Thanks you for your help.

Hi Elizbeth!

I often say the rosary in parts- so, for example, if I get to a meeting early, I'll say a decade (a mystery) or two while I wait- it's a great prayer for using in this way. I use my fingers to count (I've done that for years) the Hail Marys. I've said the Rosary while walking, or sitting in my car or at a train station.
Hopes this helps!

The rosary is a tool so it is can be said any in form or way that allows you to meditate on the life of our Lord.

There is also a thread on the rosary over in the Chapel sub- forum.
Have you seen it yet?

There is really no wrong way to pray it, just like Aaron said

Here is our Rosary thread in the Chapel: http://www.christianforums.com/t61738

I also wondered if there was a right way and a wrong way to pray the rosary.

I do pray the rosary in decades mor often than not, but each monday morning i go to my uncles home, and because he is a bachelor and doesn't have much of a clue ( yeah, i'm not slating all you guys, so hold your typewriter keyboard steady!), i clean his home for him, this usually taken an hour and a half and during that time i pray the whole rosary out loud ( my uncle goes out usually).

It helps me get through those not so nice tasks too!

HAHA! So true. Just today, i had to spend three boring hours helping out at Bingo so i decided to say the rosary in my head and it really helped.
