We do a lot of family rosary walks...but having older kids...especially this college bound kid really makes it hard. Family life was so much easier when they were little. I do love the rosary and bought some new ones on our trip out to Wisconsin. We went to the Shrine Our Lady of Good Help. We found a beautiful rainbow rosary for Ava who loves rainbows. I will always treasure the one you made and I WON!

We are hit and miss on a daily basis. I know I could probably try harder. We do sit on Sunday evening to pray the Rosary as a family after dinner. The peace we feel afterward is amazing. Thanks for the encouragement, Barbara!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651016998027244516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-66178180372883170722014-08-10T18:32:26.866-04:002014-08-10T18:32:26.866-04:00This is so true!

Most of the time we pray it after the kids go to bed.....we do have a family prayer ritual with them, but this is just for us. It has brought us amazing graces and help in being parents especially during difficult times. As far as individual prayer.....I too was doing the Martha thing. I was up early every morning to exercise and say a few prayers then on to homeschooling and chores. I was having a hard time especially being patient with my teenage son. So I decided I needed to change things for me. I mentioned to my mom an interest in the liturgy of the hours....she prays with it daily. Well guess what I discovered for my birthday. ...my own set. I felt this was the Holy Spirit telling me to quit trying to be a Martha. So now I get up early just for prayer....I've been doing it for over a month now and it has been wonderful! Sorry this response was so long just to say that I believe in the power of quiet prayer! :)janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757509343771700234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-82660348253721520242014-08-10T07:17:42.804-04:002014-08-10T07:17:42.804-04:00A little while ago we had started neglecting to sa...A little while ago we had started neglecting to say the rosary as a family. It just didn't feel right, it's a little piece missing out of the day. Besides, Our Lady told us to say it and I'm thinking that if the mother of God tells you to do something, you had better do it! :D I love our family rosary time and we've found that once you make the commitment it really isn't hard to stick to it.Kelly Casanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089138869326091823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-70727600589727314482014-08-08T01:30:58.001-04:002014-08-08T01:30:58.001-04:00The Holy Spirit is a-moving and God is a-using you...The Holy Spirit is a-moving and God is a-using you!

Other types of prayer I am fine...it is rosary specific. <br />So...I wear a rosary ring while walking the dog...or listen to the rosary on cd while driving...or folding laundry...totally a Martha. But I would love to get to the point where I can really pray the rosary while not doing anything but praying the rosary. Where I can sit in quiet, at His feet, like Mary.<br /><br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985522830610197074noreply@blogger.com
