Should I Pray a Daily Rosary? (feat. Fr. Gregory Pine O.P.) 

I’m not a Catholic officially but I started praying the rosary daily a couple of months ago and the changes it’s made have been pretty amazing. I’m planning to talk with a priest soon about RCIA.

I was diagnosed with cancer, and praying the rosary brings me such peace and comfort! I know Mary will intercede for me as she is our mother, and knows my pain, as I have two little ones I want to be here for! I know our Lord will protect my children and me, as we go through this battle.

I converted to The Catholic Faith from Anglican and pray The Holy Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet daily . I can honestly say my life has changed for the better , my relationship to God is closer than ever before . I am better able to resist sin , I meditate more on the life of Christ and Our Lady's part in His life . Thank You Blessed Mother , Viva Cristo Rey

The rosary is powerful. Unbeknownst to me, my mother had given me my grandmother’s rosary after she passed away in 1992. She put it in a box which I put in my basement. 23 years later I discovered it. I didn’t even know what it was. I learned how to pray it, and then got baptized into the Catholic Church in 2017. My grandmother told my mom that she wanted me to have it. I believe God placed that rosary in my home many years ago and like a tree it rooted itself into me and my soul. Now I leave rosaries everywhere I go because they are like tangible seeds of faith. You plant them somewhere and they grow.

We committed to pray the Rosary every single day since June of this year. My husband has only missed one day and I haven’t missed any. I will never go back. Our lives are so much better in small ways, but also in big ways. We are now expecting Baby 3 and closing on a better house next month, the Month of the Rosary. I will never not pray the Rosary every day.

Your story about you as a kid during the Rosary gives me hope for my children lol It's like herding cats getting them all gathered for the Rosary, then they make it very apparent that they'd rather be doing anything else. 😭 Lord grant me perseverance.

I was raised in a very Catholic family, but in my 30's I got very far from the catholic practices. I knew I needed to come back, but I had no strenght to do it. Until a serious problem knocked my door, and I desperate prayed the Novena of The Sacred Heart of Jesus composed by Saint Pío of Pietrlecina. The Novena contemplates asking for three graces. I asked the solution of my porblem, of course, but as I still had two more graces to ask, I asked for beeing perseverant in the prayers, minding specialy the Rosary. The last day of the Novena, while I was finishing the prayer, I realized that in each of the last 9 days I also had prayed the Rosary, and an enormous and intense sense of love to God invaded me. I don't know how, but I knew, very clearly, that there was no other treasure in this world worthy to look for than God, know Him and love Him. I was so happy, imensely happy. Suddenly, I felt - just in a spiritual way - the presence of someone vomiting hatred arround me, yealling of rage. It was so intense that I started to fear that invisible presence, and that fear made my life very unconfortable during a month, in which I was hardly able to go upstair to attend my baby at nights or simply beeing alone. Even that, the Grace of God was assisting me and I was no able to left my prayers again, I didn't want to! The grace urged me to pray. I needed to pray, and many times I felt "cravings" for prayer. I have to say that during that time I received many spiritual (non visible) consolations that helped my to "survive" the tough temptation I was going trough. After criying a lot and asking to Our Lady to stop those temptations that were taking my peace off, I managed to go to the confession (I wanted, but always something happened ) and after the confession my peace returned! Observe that I also had temptations to not say tho the priest anythig regarding my fears, because I didn't want to confirm to whom was arrasing me wat happened in my mind, which he is not able to read... nonsenses, my body was transparent enough regarding what was happening on my mind, and clearly was another lie to obstruct the sacrament of penance. If you do not have strenght enough to pray every day. Ask for it!

About two years ago I started to pray the rosary every day, I was not always successful as far as doing it everyday but I was committed to do it. Sometimes I just forgot, sometimes I didn’t feel like it and sometimes I was just too tired. It changed my life little by little. I was raised Catholic and got away for a while, I am back now and I feel so strong about my faith. I will never get away from God ever again. I go to church every Sunday, I understand how the sacrements are important, especially confession (which I was so scared of) I now pray the rosary every day and started to incorporate the Divine Mercy Chaplet in my everyday as well. God is real and unfortunately evil is real as well. They say the rosary is the best weapon against evil. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I pray the rosary every single day plus the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. It has helped me tremendously in my daily life. Nothing helps one like prayer.

Started the RCIA course yesterday…I was definitely led on my Catholic journey by doing the rosary daily.

I didn’t go to confession for a year and a half, and by the time I did go, it was like a 50 lb. burden off my life. I decided after that, to go once a month. It’s made such a difference!

I just started praying the rosary 4 times a day.

“If anyone does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for his Mother, he will not have Christ for his Brother Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.” ”Jesus honored her before all ages, and will honor her for all ages. No one comes to Him, nor even near Him, no one is saved or sanctified, if he too will not honor her. This is the lot of Angels and of men. St Maximillian Kolbe pray for us.

I highly recommend St. Louis de Montfort's book The Secret of the Rosary.

The Blessed Lady requested us to pray the rosary every day. We should treat her request like it came from God.

I pray the rosary everyday, it’s the best thing I can do for my life, feeling closer to God, praying for Priesthood, Priests who have helped me in my journey through life, with its ups and downs……Father Gregory, I love your videos on you tube…..God Bless…..

I pray my rosary every day. It brings me tremendous comfort and peace and it gives me strength.

Saturdays are a big, big grace day for me. Confession followed by Adoration, the Rosary then Mass. 😊

Praying The Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet daily brings us peace, strength and drives demons away. Praying The Rosary is contemplating Jesus Christs life, each decade reflects different events. Comprised of verses Mt 6:9-13, Eph 3:21, Lk 1:28, 42-43 & Jm 5:16. Rosary Center online gives The Mysteries to reflect on while praying. Powerful weapon against evil!!!

Our Blessed Mother has said that the Rosary is the most powerful spiritual practice one can perform outside of the Mass. And since many of us can’t go to Mass every day, praying a daily Rosary is incredibly helpful for spiritual growth, repentance, and healing of ourselves and the world. Mary has instructed all of the faithful, through many apparitions, to pray the Rosary every day, for the salvation of souls.

I pray the Rosary daily and sincerely enjoy doing so. It has brought tremendous joy to my life. My wife is Catholic; I am not because I've been divorced and my first marriage was an extremely contentious separation. Hence, having to go through the steps of annulment is far too painful. In addition, my current wife and I go to Mass every Saturday. I truly wish and pray that I could become Catholic, but my prior divorce has been a significant roadblock. I am not implying that becoming Catholic should be easy; I only wish it were easier. Please Mother Mary intercede for me and all that are reading this pray for me. God bless, Chris

My favorite thing about Father Gregory is how not only his intelligence resonates, so does the love he has of being a priest. Ascension is great at finding priests with these characteristics.

I started praying the rosary around 8th grade. I truly believe it has transformed my life. Meditating on the mysteries has brought me closer to Jesus and Mary. Through the rosary, I have discovered more fully who Mary is in relation to God, to the Church, and to me. I have done Fr. Michael Gaitley’s 33 Days to Morning Glory, a Marian consecration. I truly believe that Mary is my (spiritual) mother, and she is the gateway through which I hope to reach eternal life with Jesus. Pray the rosary. Good things will happen.

Solid advice Father. I do caution folks to be sure to focus on diving into the mysteries more than simply checking a box or doing it because a particular apparition said it was really important. I say this because as someone who struggles with anxiety and can be scrupulous at times I can turn the Rosary into more of a charm or spiritual insurance or a mere obligation that I feel pressured into doing. Put that all aside and focus on the mysteries so that the graces can flow freely and have their effect. God bless!

Yes, you should. Before I became a Catholic, before I found a sponsor, before a lot of changes to my spirit, worldview, attitude, and way of living, I began by praying the rosary. In Latin (because, hey, why not, while I’m at it!). I won’t pretend I’m more consistent than I have been, but I can testify to it being a powerful tool to open your life to the Lord, who will grace you more powerfully than you may understand. I credit sources like this and Bishop Barron, who explained the rosary to me so that I COULD begin praying it in good faith, because I was in a Protestant mindset where it’s widely misunderstood and reviled as idolatry. God works miracles with the hands of his body, the church, and I’m grateful to God for such good pastors. I pray for their good, and for all our leaders to hear ken unto God. Without him, all our efforts to do good in this world will fail, but with him and all our shortcomings, the world can thrive in goodness.

To keep my attention and genuine I usually try to do a mystery a day of the rosary. It can be difficult with attention issues to pray it in its entirety, so I usually pray little praysers throughout my busy day when in need and when thankful. Its a good way to make up for not having the mental fortitude to withstand 30 minutes of rosary. I'd rather my full attention on God rather than half of it

Was absent from the Catholic Church for a very long time snd right before lent this year something kept repeating in my head “pray the rosary “ started praying it and next thing I was going to confession and now a much better catholic than I was over 40 years ago . Have not missed a day since . I also do the seven sorrows chaplet snd the st Michael chaplet and going to start back at the Devine mercy chaplet . I have a lot of catching up to do as the saying goes .

What an incredibly insightful and helpful video. Thanks Fr. Pine..you and Fr. Mike have been, and are, truly gifts from God; have been for me anyway.

Always words of wisdom.... Father Grumble Belly, may God bless and keep you safe!!

They’ve been announcing it for so long. If I lived in the states I would absolutely go. I hope it’ll be an excellent time for everyone who goes. I’ll be praying the rosary from home

Champions of the Rosary is an amazing book.

Just returned home from Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage in DC. Awesome, spiritually enriching day!

Thank you Fr. Pine for sharing more of an insight for praying the rosary. I struggle to pray the rosary daily.

Fr. Gregory Pine is a national treasure. God bless you

When my husband became sick I began praying the rosary in my car. I would also pray the novena to the Holy spirit. I could not have gotten through the ordeal without prayers.

The worst part is I KNOW for a FACT that things are better when I pray the rosary - but I still neglect it so much. Truly my own worst enemy and self saboteur.

Thank you Fr. Pine!! This is very helpful.

Love the Rosary, love the Office, simple as. Sometimes I vary between them to avoid burnout Beautiful chapel btw!

Can I recommend the Servite Rosary as well? You say 7 Hail Mary prayers while meditating on the 7 Sorrows of the Blessed Mother. She has worked miracles and taught me so much about Jesus and myself since I started this devotion this summer.

IM gonna start praying the rosary every day

I think it's good to add praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

I prefer saying the rosary while walking up and down the corridor at home to avoid sitting back-pain. i remember saying the rosary in Latin in the early 60s with my mother .

How beautiful! Thank you for your words!

“Yeah, the Rosary, it's awesome” [4:20] 😀☦❤

The 5 decade Rosary is great to get started with since it only takes about 20-30 minutes, but the fullness of the Rosary is all 15 decades which is more like an hour. If you are doing 0 decades every day, absolutely do five, even that much endears you to Mary and changes your life! But if you are doing 5 consistently, push yourself to do the real whole 15 that were requested by Our Lady at Fatima, and you will have a much deeper and more mature spiritual life.

I've been waiting so long for him to come back and give us a video. Love Fr. Greg.

Thank you

With all due respect, Father, I cant seem to shake the images of you chuckling about the smell of new books. You have hearty sense of humor, Father Pine. Please forgive the aside. I will get over it. Have a blessed day.

Our Lady asks it of us, so yes.

Well spoken father. Thanks!!!

Thank you!!

GabiAfterHours on youtube has done many videos on praying the rosary and how it combats mortal sin - specifically all four mysteries. I pray all four as often as I can and definitely recommend the practice. 🙏🙏🎉

I love saying the rosary which I could say it all day but I have the time but I do say them

New Catholic here. I was never taught how to pray the Rosary. How do I start?

Amen

"Everyday" means commonplace, usual, quotidian. "Every day" means every day.

Canon law asks seminarians, religious, and clerics to be formed by the rosary. We should pray the Rosary daily, as the Saints and Church has recommended.

Read the 15 promises of the Rosary. I have obtained some of the promises by praying the daily Rosary.

Should you pray the Rosary every day? Yes, yes and YES!!

I don’t believe I ever prayed the rosary, though I received one when little. I did not know anyone who did though they were given as gifts yet never used. Now, in seemingly many around me praying this as a form of spiritual protection in warfare, I may just start. Though in starting it tends to feel awkward. T If I can in Passion and Understanding, this would be a blessing. To do anything out of duty becomes burdensome. Sometimes to get to Passion, walking through duty is needed first to find freedom. We will see. I believe many or most of us could use protection, spiritual - emotional- physical Healing and strengthening in our Spirit so we are able to draw nearer to Christ. Its been on my heart as something maybe I give a shot at for the month of October… each day for 31 days and see if I am drawn nearer to Christ, His love and His heart. If so, that would be a Great Blessing from God. ❤️‍🩹🙏❤️

Sometimes I switch it up and do Lauds & Vespers of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary instead of the Rosary.

I started with the rosary and saint michael prayer, I do a mystery everyday. Then i added the divine mercy and a few others. I pray about 40 to 45 mins a day in the morning. I love it. I'm trying to build my relationship with him. I've had a calling to pray the Rosary for a long time, it even got stronger after my grandmother passed away in the beginning of the year. She herself was very devoted to the rosary and since I built a prayer life, there's not a day that goes by that I don't do it . 🤍🕊🙏

NOTES for later reference Precepts of the church: - go to Sunday Mass - receive Holy Communion at least once a year - Sacrement of Confession at least onec a year (once per month recommended) - support church's temporal needs Daily possible indulgences: - pray 30 minutes in the presence of the Blessesld Sacrement - make the of the stations of the cross in a public church or oratory - read sacred scripture for 30 minutes - recite the rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary in common (see handbook of indulgences)

This should be a 10 second video: answer is "yes"

Yes

I try ptay the rosary everyday. However i feel there is the spirit of anger behind it sometimes like " why arent you giving me what i want"

Greetings Father Gregory, Thoughts :- ->Message highlights"The Core Values of Remembering the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Rosary for Divine Revelation with blessings of Holy Spirit and Grace of Lord Jesus Christ through Sacred Mysteries in Holy Bible in every moment in all aspects of Life." ->My Prayers with best wishes for everyone in Rosary Pilgrimage, Washington - US. -> Keep Our Family in Prayers for Good Health.. Thanks.. With regards and Prayers, Ranjith Joseph (R.J)

Indulgences sounds like work based tbh and I’m reverting to Catholicism

Great, helpful thoughts, as always! I was expecting some reference to Fatima, but I’m guessing navigating private revelations might be more appropriate for a separate video.

Ur cool fr I ❤🔥🔥🔥🙏u

Fr. Gigichad Pine rocking the Casio F-91w. Absolute baller.

🙏🕯🌹🕊❤️

Never thought that one would not pray it every day.

With all due respect, if you listen to Our Lady of Fatima, the answer is quite simple. She said, "The faithful must pray the rosary every day. " She would not ask us to do something we could not do, and she reaffirmed the rosary in each appearance at Fatima. Pope John Paul said, "The Fatima message is addressed to every human being." And she warned of great evils to come upon the earth if we didn't listen. "If my requests are not heard..." Everyone should read THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY.

❤❤❤❤

GabiAfterHours and Flame of Love rosary Journey Deeper amazing rosary advocate channels!^_^ 4 mysteries a day

When you say to pray the rosary daily do you mean to pray all 4 mysteries everyday?

I wonder why Jesus never taught to pray Rosary. Why so many mysteries like mystery Babylon?

What to do if I dont see any effects of praying? Everyone says they see miracles when they pray and I dont see any improvements.

Is it ok that I pray the Crown Rosary every day?

Do watching videos on RU-vid about our faith count for indulgences?

Does the Church think our daily rosary, done at home (if single, done alone), does not help those in need (and ourselves) as well as if we did it with others (in common)? If it is not very effective, is it just as well not to do it - and only read scriptures (the only thing on the list that is not dependent on others or when the church is open)?

I'm quite sure not going to and missing a Sunday obligation of Mass is a mortal sin. Confession and holy Communion once a year, may be the minimum to remain in communion with the Church, but its not the minimum for remaining in communion with God. What is this guy talking about???

I don’t see how praying the rosary every day will help me. I tried doing this, and it was not a good experience.

Hey ascension present. I have a question need your opening on this. So I try and pray a Rosary everyday MY coz I can't go for daily mass. However Dad always tell me that don't pray the Rosary instead partaken in a Mass on RU-vid. Like the EWTN masses (not Live) What do you think. Should I continue to pray the Rosary or Should I partaken in online mass?

In what ways did it changed you?

Soooooo..... should I pray the rosary every day?

I didnt know that about the indulgencies !!!!!!!!!!!! I do some of those now!! Do you get two if you do a full holy hour? Or does it stop at the first half hour? Just curious.

Once upon a time a certain King gave to His chosen servants the free gift of vast riches to each one. In the process of time men under the pretense of being the King's servants rose up and went to the descendants of the chosen servants saying If you desire to be heirs of the free gift of riches you must follow us to earn those riches and do your part. After following those deceivers, the descendants found they had no inheritance of vast riches and even lost everything they seemed to have. They inquired of the King for their riches. The King said Did not I say my riches were a free gift but you did not believe me instead working to earn them. Then the King cast the deceivers and descendants into prison for ever. Ephesians 2:8 KJV "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."

Interesting that you say what the Church asks, rather then what God asks. It sounds like the Church is rival to God.

I suffer a LOT so is offering up suffering an indulgence?

Tbh, my life *was* miserable before i started the daily rosary. Lol

Can u choose between praying the mysteries of rosary and divine mercy of rosary?

Sunday Mass + Communion 1/year + Confession 1/year + Support the churches temporal needs = 4. Not 5. I am so bored and disappointed with life right now. OH! I did a quick search. The missing precept that he didn't mention is- You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. Fr. Gregory Pine O.P. You have just been schooled. Who is editing your videos?

We should substitute the Liturgical Office by the Rosary. I mean, who is more in Union and more capable of uniting us to God if not His Holy Mother? Even more than the Bible, which she mystically gave us. Mediatrix, pray for us!

There is NO way that I can pray 15 decades of the Rosary daily. Why? I pray very very slowly and deliberately and 2 decades would take me 40 minutes on a good day. Is it okay to pray a partial rosary BUT on a consistent basis? I have an obsessive/ compulsive personality or condition. The answer seem simple but it bugs me inwardly that I cant pray that long. anybody's input would be appreciated! thank you.

hey church... just pray for your needs... dont ask for money from your members living in poverty.

nothing like a god who needs repetitive requests. pray to a rock... equally effective.

The rosary doesn't do anything, nor does repeating "hail mary" over and over again. Salvation is by Christ alone and Jesus said to only pray to the father in his name, but before you do that you must be saved first. Ephesians 2:8-9 "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and not of yourselves it is a GIFT of God. Not of works lest anyman should boast." Salvation is by grace through faith alone, you cannot add anything or you are not under grace. The Greek translation for the word grace is CHARIS meaning "unMERITTED favor." Simply believe the gospel to be saved and be saved permanently. "After you BELIEVED, you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise who is the GUARANTEE of our inherentance until the redemption of the purchased possession." Romans 11:7 "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work."

The rosary has no basis in scripture at all, Catholicism is work salvation, please turn to Christ in faith as the Bible clearly says we are saved by grace which translates to CHARIS meaning "unmeritted favor/free gift." quite literally. There is a Reason why Paul says in Romans "for the wages of sin is death, but the FREE gift of God is eternal life through christ Jesus our lord." Again grace's literal translation in the Greek is "unmeritted favor/free gift." Salvation is completely free all you have to do is believe that what Jesus did for you 2000 years ago actually worked. He died as a substitute for sin on the cross for you and me because the penalty for sin is death, if the penalty has already been paid and "by grace you have saved through faith" then all you are doing is believing that his payment was for you, a.k.a excepting it and believing you have eternal life as a result of his finished work (and of course believing he rose from the dead as a dead savior can't save you.) The reason you cannot add a work to Christ's finished work is because as Paul makes clear in Romans 11:6 "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." You aren't under grace if you add something to the gospel because grace must be unmeritted for it to be attributed to you. Again, you are just trusting in what Christ already did for you, that's why in ephesians Paul says "after you believed, you were sealed with that holy spirit of promise, which is the GUARANTEE of our inherentance until the redemption of the purchased possession." Paul can't use the word guarantee here if salvation is partially based off of something you do, as obviously YOU can fail in your efforts meaning there is obviously no guarantee. But if it is entirely based off of what Christ did, then there is a guarantee.
