Will you, please, today. You can get Rosary beads from a Catholic
church rectory or gift shop, or a Christian book store. I may help reach a dozen or more people.She wants us to acknowledege her. Please do not become distressed or upset with my inquiry. You can say the Rosary, there is a paper that explains everything or just think with your heart. Thank you...

lee, while i understand your statement and request - many others do not. the Blessed Virgin has appeared numerous times to people begging for their prayers - for the conversion of poor sinners, peace int he country and other things. Her greatest request is that people know and love her Son Jesus Christ. I am a staunch Catholic, named for our Beloved Lady, however, i was never taught or thought that she ever wanted her own recognition - her requests have always been that people love and come to Jesus - for He is the saviour.
In regards to the rosary - it is a powerful prayer tool. my favorite is the Scriptural ROsary. it's a way to fully walk and remember the life of CHrist through HIs loving mothers eyes. here is just one of the decades and a link to the rest below.

In Catholicism, the father, Son, and Holy Spirit are seen equivalent, as are adult males and girls folk. In heaven, some people are better than some angels. Mary is the Queen of Heaven, and bigger and greater excellent in heaven than any angel and the different human. St. Joseph is greater than any human besides Mary, and he too is greater than any angel. that's in retaining with God's Commandment to honor one's mum and dad. for sure, Jesus' Father is God the father, and His mom is Mary, yet St. Joseph performed the function of Jesus' father at a similar time as He grew to become into on earth. God bless! Dave

I was raised Catholic, and consider myself a Christian, although I feel I don't need a religion, since I feel the connection with our Lord as a friendship.
I usually only pray to God Jesus, although, either our Lord sends them good Spirits or they are able to hear your prayers since they are Spirits and spiritual. I had a woman Spirit communicate for about seven months and I am sure she either comes back or she is here all the time, perhaps my Spirit guide, She is completely white and glows, very nice, beautiful voice, the first time she spoke, my first thought was she's an Angel. She and another came when I prayed for protection for my son, his mother and myself.
God Bless:)
May the good ~Spirits~ be with you!

Ex 20:3
You shall have no other gods before Me.
Mt 6:7
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
"She" wants us to worship God, not her! "She" wants us to be obedient and willing vessels, as "she" was. Mary NEVER had a rosary, and if she were alive today, would NEVER pray it. It probably makes her sob uncontrollably that people idolize her, and take the focus off of Jesus.

I dont pray to dead people. sorry
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Christ told me to pray this way: Mt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name...... It says nothing about praying to a "Holy Mother"

No.I pray to God in the holy name of Jesus.There is not one
word about Worshiping Mary.I respect her,God chose Her to bring Jesus,by that I mean She was a far better person than I.
But worship is to God only.

- Here's what the Bible has to say about this,
1 TIMOTHY 2:5-6
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Friend, Mary can NOT do anything for you, she is Not sitting on the Mercy seat in heaven Jesus Christ is, He is our mediator & not Mary. & also Catholics want to still call her the Virgin Mary, She was not a Virgin after Jesus was born, Because Joeseph her husband did Not touch Mary until after Jesus was born & then did Joespeh go to Mary to bring Children from Joeseph seed line.

Yes, and if you don't have Rosary beads, you can use your ten fingers to pray each prayer....The Blessed Mother always listens, yes always listens...and leads us to her son...Jesus...
Prayer: God the Father, God the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit works!
My Blessed Mother - always has time to listen to me....and GOD always takes me back...just as I am...
Thanks and I needed to remember that!

Not me. I pray to God only and do that through Jesus the Christ.
The rosary is not talking to God, it is repeating something you have memorized. Is that the way you talk to your dad???
