Our Lord and Our Lady want you to say the rosary daily. They don't care what color rosary you're using to pray it.


Yes, you can even count with your 10 fingers (if you do have 10 fingers!) if you don't have the rosary beads.


There won't be the indulgences for the finger method...

 :cussing:


Please show why there won't be indulgences for the finger method....


I did read somewhere that you have to hold a rosary in your hand while praying it.  That's why, if I'm in public, I hold my rosary in my right hand albeit in my pocket.

I think that's what the poster meant.

However, there are many more indulgences gained when using the beads, so it pays to use them.  


Are you sure about that? I've never read/heard that anywhere. I was told that counting with your fingers, or what have you, merits the same as praying with the beads.


FALSE

We're not going to go back and forth with you.  Please consult with a Traditional Catholic Priest.  

Please take this topic seriously.

The original OP probably meant to ask that is it more appropriate to have a regular, blessed by a validly ordained Catholic Priest, and used for each time you pray the rosary.  

Do you guys and girls think that owning several rosaries, of course all blessed by a validly ordained Catholic Priest, takes anything away as if you were not being monogamous?

 
Curiouser and curiouser! :facepalm:

Are you referring to your own marital state here? Or is this a hypothetical question?


 :really-mad2:

I mean, let's say it's Tuesday and you prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries with a rosary made of sterling silver and the beads a blue lapis.

Then, Wednesday rolls around and you decide to use an all wooden rosary with twisted rope/cord between the beads.  

That's what the poster probably meant by switching out rosaries.

 :really-mad2:

The reason this is asked is because I am reading the book "The Song of Bernadette" and at one point, Bernadette uses another girl's rosary and Our Lady notices so, very quickly, Bernadette retrieves her own rosary.

Are there any supernatural attachments to particular rosaries that we may have used for many years in a row and that this line of attachment may be broken if we knowingly switch out our rosary.  

I am just asking aloud and in front of others.

What do you all think?

What do you mean go back and forth me? That was the first response I've made in this thread.

And I have consulted with a traditional priest about it, some time ago. He told me that counting with your fingers merits the same as praying with the beads, that the beads are just a way of keeping track of where you are at.

I have believed what my traditional priest told me all this time, and here you cry FALSE, and then accuse me of not taking it seriously. I am taking it seriously. Excuse me for asking an honest question. Nobody has provided a source that can disprove my priest, only responses like "I read it somewhere" etc. I appreciate their reply, non the less, but I need solid proof that the claim is correct before I disregard the advice that would appear most solid at this time, which is the words from my Priest. I guess I could ask a different priest and see what he says.

You shouldn't be so hasty to snap at people, especially when you've based your irritation off presumtions which may or may not be true. Sheesh.

I'm sure the poster who said that to you didn't intend to hurt your feelings.

But, holding the rosary in your hands is one of the prerequisites to earn the indulgences.

By Traditional Priest do you actually mean the one novus ordite presider at your parish who leaves his hula hoop at home?  LOL!  Since he said it's okay to not actually hold a rosary, ask him if it's important to say the rosary or if it's just okay to say the rosary if you feel an urge.  What I mean by this is that your priest may think the rosary is an albatross from a less enlightened period but if you want to hold on to vestiges of the past then that's okay as long as you keep it to yourself.

I have a hardcover book that says that you must hold the rosary in your hand while praying the rosary.
