I agree. The rosary is Christological. Why else would His blessed Mother give it to us?
It may not be approved but when my father in law was recovering from bypass surgery I prayed a healing rosary. I meditated on the miracles of healing that Christ performed in the Gospels. Praying the Ave while thinking of Jesus’ loving kindness brought peace to my heart. I had full confidence that Christ would grace those doctors and my father in law to restore him to full health.
:-) I don’t think any prayer is not approved if it is from the heart. There are many ways of saying the Rosary but the most important is keeping Jesus up front and in our thoughts. I think that was a wonderful way to pray the rosary.
Beautiful! How could lifting you mind to God ever “not be approved?” God told us to pray without ceasing.
I love this discussion going on about “such and such” is not a proper prayer for God!
God IS.. HE IS BEING...His Will keeps us in existence! HE LIVES IN THE ETERNAL PRESENT! There is no past or future for Him! God is outside of time; it is a meaningless concept for an Eternal Being!!!! That is why Jesus said that Abraham, Isaac and Moses are all present to God—that He is a God of the living! He told Moses from the burning bush, “I AM WHO AM! Tell them I AM sent you!”
So how can something in the Eternal Present be hearing repetition? Let God BE God!
Where in Scripture does it show that "Mary gave you the rosary?"
