Here are four simple ways to say Rosary in your schedule when it is already packed tight.
Many saints prayed the Rosary every day and urged others to pray it, even calling it a “spiritual weapon.”
“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times,” according to St. Padre Pio. St. Josemaria Escriva said, “The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.”
We know we should pray the Rosary, but when and how can we squeeze it in? It might take a little extra planning and effort, but it can be done!
1. Pray in Traveling Time
If you have to drive or take the train anyway, you might as well make great use of the time and pray the Rosary while you commute.
On public transportation, it’s easy to hold a rosary in your pocket as you ride.
If you’re in the car and can’t hold a rosary, pray along with a Rosary audio app or a (there are several out there!).
2. Pray with Friends
You can make a group of families and make a get-together each week or month to pray together and arrange dinner or lunch together after the prayer. Or if you have kids, people can meet up at the park for a “Rosary play date,” praying the Rosary with a group of friends while the little ones run around.
3. Pray in Excercise Time
This won’t work for all forms of exercise, but if you’re going for a walk or run, play a Rosary audio app instead of music for part of the time. And you can also recite the rosary in silence while you are out. If you have an exercise mate, you can pray together.
4. Pray at Bedtime
You can also say the rosary at your bedtime.
