SJB I am looking over the docuмents you gave me, thanks. I will reply if any questions come up.
Gladius Veritatis I have read that book. Thanks.
Spouse of Jesus I read the page you gave me but it didn't reassure me because of the weight of Jesus's words and the fact that all of the examples that page gives precede the rosary, such as the bible and St. John Chrysostom, meaning, they do not address the rosary but all vain prayers,under which category the rosary could very well fall.
From the webpage they say:
That Christ Himself prayed in repetitions. Matthew 26:44: "And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words". Mark 14:39 reads: "And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words."
That is not praying in repetitions, this is from the Douay-Rheims
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. [40] And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
[41] Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak. [42] Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done. [43] And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy. [44] And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.
If I come into a room and say a prayer, then leave the building and go down the road and converse with people there, then depart and go back and say another prayer..etc.. that is not a "repetitious" prayer.
A repetitious prayer is saying the same thing over and over again without stopping. It is not to say that you cannot say the same prayer several times in one day or one hour. It is to say that you should not repeat the same sentence over and over thinking that by saying it 5 times instead of 1 time you are having more effect on God.
