But an even more beautiful sound than the beads, are the voices of those using them. When you hear people saying the Rosary together, it's so powerful. The Rosary is sort of hard to understand. It's a weapon. But it's so peaceful and beautiful! When we think of weapons, we generally think of fear, terror, death and sorrow. But the Rosary only brings that to the evil one. To us, and those for whom it is prayed for, it brings peace, grace, love and blessings! It's so mysteriously beautiful.
To hear a group of people saying the Rosary together, is to hear an army chanting a battle cry, and a grateful people singing a hymn of praise, at the same time.
It's like a lion's roar and a sparrow's song together! It just depends on who you are.
It's so important to say the Rosary. It is a wonderful way to contemplate the life of Jesus with our Mother. She always wants to bring us to her Son, and Jesus always wants to bring us closer to Him. The Rosary is a great way to start making your way towards them.
It only takes about 20 minutes. Considering that you have about 12 hours in a day, that's not very much time.
If you don't know how to say the Rosary, that isn't a problem either! Just go to www.rosaryarmy.com
They have sheets that teach you how to pray the Rosary, and they even have podcasts of each of the Mysteries to help you out! They are great!
And if you don't have a Rosary? Well, you can just use your fingers. Or, if you go to the above site, you can request a free one. I have also seen them out at Catholic Churches for people to take home. They aren't hard to get.
Hear the beautiful sounds. Contemplate the beautiful life of Jesus. Feel the peace that comes from prayer. Trust God to give you grace, and Use the grace that God gives you. Enjoy the Blessings, even the littlest ones. Pray the Rosary!!!
