The Rosary

The rosary is the book of the blind.  Some people cannot read the Bible or much of anything else.  They may be blind, or illiterate, or something else. The rosary is a prayer for everyone.  You don’t have to go anywhere, in case you are debilitated or a shut-in.  You don’t have to be especially good to say the rosary.  It is relatively simple to memorize.  It has a mantra quality.  And you don’t have to finish it.  You can stop whenever you want and just sit in meditation.  It is one of those Catholic things that is so practical and is for everyone, not just Catholics.  It has scripture scenes upon which to meditate, if you want.  You can say it walking around or sitting in a park.  Some people say it if the sermon is long or irrelevant.  Never while I am preaching!  While you never know.
