Zone1 Everyone should pray the rosary... says the Virgin Mary (in so many words)

If all are alive who are the 'dead'?

.

Those who died with mortal sin on their souls or without being Baptized.

in church it used to be this way .... men and women took turns in praying parts of the Hail Mary.
so there was a special choir contrast of high and low voices .... a special rhythm.

.

We generally either have Father lead and the rest of us in chorus, or we take turns announcing and leading the decades. When I'm leading, I love hearing how my voice resounds in the church and then the voices of the chorus resound. Our church is very beautiful, acoustically.

It is an incredible meditation!

So, you're saying that Mary has the ability to hear at least several hundred prayers at any given moment (and the moments never cease) and process each individual one, and determine how each one should be handled?

of course she has got that ability

they are known in various religions.

I have a great book that's a compilation of quotes about the Rosary, by Father Donald Calloway. It's where I read a very important quote about equating holding the Rosary in your hands with holding the hand of the Blessed Mother. I now do this every time and it has deepened my meditation incredibly.

It's a beautiful book. I have gotten copies for everyone I regularly pray the Rosary with.

Any idea why he has never once bothered to reply ?

Incidentally , his so called son is exactly the same .
An unequivocal story teller

He has never once kept an appointment , though the Cultists think he has a poor memory and is rushed off his feet by people wanting compensation for wasted time and money .

It is so sad when people don't know Jesus. I sometimes wonder why God blessed some people w/ the Catholic faith and not others but they could bless themselves with it... if they could just get over the anti-Catholic sentiment, rife in society today...

Jesus said Few make it to Heaven

I can see why

I'm sure Mary doesn't limit praying the rosary (or any prayer) to Catholics only

Mary is dead and buried, awaiting His Return

Mary is dead and buried, awaiting His Return

Mary is in Heaven

True Church has always taught that. And no one waits w/ his/her body in the grave anyway. . much less the new Ark of the Covenant Mary

I guess you don't know about Fatima?
