My wife told me that I could pray the rosary while I am driving. As this is what I do for a living (tractor/trailer) and I take this responsibility seriously I told her I didn’t think that was a good idea because it could be distracting.
I just started back to work last Friday, from suspension pending investigation, and found myself very desirous to pray the rosary. So I did. At work. Behind the wheel. In rush hour traffic. And I didn’t stop at 5 decades but continued until I lost count and had to get out of my truck.
Amazingly I was not distracted at all.
Is this alright that I pray the rosary while actively driving? And does it lessen any graces or indulgences (or whatever the word is I am missing)? Do you have any suggestions on this?
If you sense the call to pray the Rosary, do not hesitate say as many as you can fit into your day. In a lifetime they will add up to much needed grace for you and your family.
During the apparition at Fatima, Mary told Lucia that in order for Francisco to go to Heaven he would need to say many Rosaries. Afterwards he was never seen without his Rosary in his hand. He prayed them all day. Even while he was working in the fields with the sheep.
I have read many things about this little Saint and one thing is that he was known to be very sweet, with a calm and agreeable nature, only a little mischievous with other children at times.
If only the sins of a sweet little child are in need of so many Rosaries, how many more for my 40+ years will I need to pray? I shudder to think.
