Many enjoy criticizing those who pray the Rosary and similar traditional prayers, claiming that there is something intrinsicaly wrong with repetetive prayer, and they base this solely on one new testament passage that refers only to the practices of pagans, who pray to false gods.
This passage from Revelation seems to indicate that God appeciates and even mandates repetetive prayer:
Rev 4:6 And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Rev 4:7 And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like a flying eagle.
Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
What do you think?
