The original Rosary consisted of praying the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries every day. I know it may seem tough, but it is definitely possible by the Grace of God! I pray that everyone tries to pray all 3 Mysteries a day (possibly 4 with the Luminous Mysteries if you can!) God bless everyone.

Praying the Rosary brings us closer to the reality of heaven, constant prayers to God in unity with the Saints. It is in the Bible, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

Ave maria? Pray directly to God. Jesus died so you could do so. Mary is not an intercessor; she is dead. Romans 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Father Alar, thank you for your videos, they have become a life line to my Catholic Faith. Every day I listen to the compilations of your homilies & Father Schmitz’s Bible in a Year. I love all your homilies! Every single one! Life as a Mom is very stressful, but when I listen to you while I do my work, it makes it completely purposeful. Every day I prepare dinner while listening to you & I imagine that your words of God is a form of prayer over the food that will nourish my children & my Family. You told me that I honor my Guardian Angel when I go to mass, so sometimes I chuckle & say, “I’m gonna make you proud of me my dear Guardian Angel, here’s a thank you for sticking by me!” Your words have changed me even in the little ways of my life Father Alar. There are many of us who deeply love you. Father Alar, I have been deeply enjoying your book, as I have mentioned before, I take it to read during Friday Eucharist Exposition Adoration. It’s my dessert, after praying the rosary. I used to go only 1 hour, but now I go 2 hours! Why? Just so I can read your book!

[@ashbyt1]

No it's idolatrty.

[@eagletrigger]

@@ashbyt1 No it's not. The rosary started when the common folk, in imitation of the monasteries who prayed all 150 psalms daily, started praying 150 Our Fathers instead because they didn't know the Psalms and Bibles were too expensive/took 3 years to copy for anyone to get them. Over time, others prayers inspired by the Bible were included, eventually settling on the Our Father, 10 Hail Mary's, and Glory Be that we know today. Each decade was then given a Gospel/NT event for the praying person to reflect on. The rosary has, and always will be, a means for us to reflect upon important Scripture passages. In this way, it's not idolatry, it's a means for us to grow closer to God.

[@eagletrigger]

@@infamousgrizzly1358 pray: transitive verb : ENTREAT, IMPLORE -often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea intransitive verb: to make a request in a humble manner Prayer is not solely worship. In fact, by it's original definition, it was not a form a worship, but a means to implore someone or something for help. Take a course in Shakespeare and you'd understand this as he uses it quite frequently. Now, regarding Mary, we don't worship. Nor do we the saints. We worship only the Triune God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). But just as we can ask our fellow man here on earth to pray for us when we're in need, why can't we ask those in heaven, who remain our brother and sisters in Christ, to likewise pray for us in need? Sure, you can just pray to God on your own, just like you can go before a judge and plead your case. But wouldn't you want a lawyer who knows the lingo and is on a similar level to the judge to plead your case instead? The saints are in heaven, right there with God, in his Divine presence. Would that not make their prayers all the more pure before God (since no sin can be before his presence)? Also, the prayers of the rosary are biblical. The Our Father is a no brainer. The Hail Mary is a combination of the greeting by Gabriel and Elizabeth in Luke. And the Glory Be draws from various verses glorifying the Trinity. These are true prayers, unlike the half-hearted BS you constantly spew and call prayer.

[@eagletrigger]

​@@infamousgrizzly1358 pray: transitive verb: 1: ENTREAT, IMPLORE -often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea pray be careful 2: to get or bring by praying intransitive verb: 1: to make a request in a humble manner 2: to address God or a god with adoration, confession, supplication, or thanksgiving 3/4 of the definitions for the word "pray" have nothing to do with worship. The original meaning of the word meant to request or ask for someone aid. If you ever read Shakespeare (which I highly doubt you have) you would know that he used it very often when characters asked questions in need of an answer or when needing help. So your understanding of what prayer is is fundamentally flawed to begin with. Now, let me state emphatically, we only worship the Triune God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). When we pray to saints, we are asking for help. It's no different than asking a family member or friend close to pray for us. Except, the saints are in heaven, therefore they are no longer tainted with sin, unlike us here on earth. So it stands to reason that their prayer would be more pure and efficacious than ours here. "Well, I just pray to Jesus. That's all you need to do." Ok, fine. No true Christian says you can't. You should. God wants us to talk to Him, to bring all our hopes, worries, thanks, and problems to Him. All praying to saints does is asking that they, in its lowest form, put the good word in for us and our intentions. You could go directly to a judge and plead your case. But wouldn't it be better to get a lawyer who speaks the same lingo, knows the law, and can better argue your case before the judge? It's not a "one or the other" situation. You can pray to God AND His saints without taking away from God. To say otherwise is to put limitations on the limitless God. Which begs the question what god do you truly worship then? For all the Biblical verses to help prove my case (because I know simple logic is to your kind what sunlight is to a vampire), go here: www.catholic.com/tract/praying-to-the-saints . God speed.

[@eightmiles3401]

​@eagletrigger then what is all that for? Cant God hear your prayers from your heart? Do God really want your repetitive words? Does God created a robot that when you press the button it will speak what ever words that was programmed to? You are glorifying mary and think that glorfying her will also glorify god? Are you saying to me that mary is now the mediator and not Jesus? Wake up people! You are being decieved and heading towards destruction!

Great stuff father Chris. I’m not catholic but I’ve been praying the rosary everyday for some time now.

I noticed the days (only a small handful) that I missed out, I felt like I was falling away from Christ. So for me it’s become more of a daily ritual to remind myself of what Christ went through for us.

We are degrading God’s power when us, humans, add to it? “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

I cant think this good, bold priest for all of the wonderful information he has bestowed to us with his books and videos. They are making a tremendous difference as I make my way along the path to, God willing, salvation. May god continue to bless and keep him.

Thank you Walt so much for being with us... we are so grateful that God sent you here :)

[@ashbyt1]

God does not bless people who teach blasphemy like mary worship.

[@alexanderbrion6790]

Thank you Father God bless you too!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

You too!

I love the mysteries ❤🇨🇦

Ephesians 6 14¶Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: That's the full armor of God to a Christian. Don't be fooled by the devil to make you think a man made thing like rosaries and holy waters can protect you from his attacks. Take on the biblical armor of God. Don't believe what satan tells you but believes God. The devil knows how to play his game and most people fall culprits.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@concrete3030]

Amen!!! Pray for us O Holy Mother Of God

[@ML-vz9oz]

Fr. Alar I am trying to do 20 decades everyday. I do a full 5 decades in one seating but is it okay to break the other decades as I go about my day? Asking a friend....

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Yes, ML that is okay. God bless you!

[@MaxineRameyFreeman]

Wonderful. Thankyou!

[@Counselangel13]

How could anyone think that the Mother of Our God’s Son was not Biblical? Don’t they read the Bible??A gathering of prayers is absolutely the way many Religious songs were written! They are “so old “as you said Yes,the Turks know! They Lost! Great story Fr. Chris! Thank You for Loving us All!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you but many despise Mary. Yes, it is sad and in need of prayer for sure. God bless.

[@ashbyt1]

Mary worship and prayers are idolatry, pure and simple. I do not hate mary but the 10 commandments say that you only pray to 1 God (not mary)

[@janajoujan7658]

Beautiful

[@yanelebukelwa]

I too pray the Rosary...but I wish to become one one day

[@michaelciccone2194]

The Anglicans that are Anglo Catholics have deep Marian devotions and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

[@emanzoma9320]

By repeating the hail Mary alot you will defeat the evil one .

[@ashbyt1]

Read Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. -Jesus

[@honeykim589]

One time when Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to Jesus" Blessed is the womb that carried You and the breasts at which You nursed".(Luke 11:27)In this moment, there was never a better opportunity for Jesus to declare that Mary was indeed worthy of praise and adoration. But what was Jesus' response? On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and observe it".(Luke 11:28). To Jesus,obedience to God's Word was more important than being the woman who gave birth to the Savior.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you but you might want to read what the church fathers have said about that passage for over a thousand years.

[@honeykim589]

@Divine Mercy Thank you.., but if it is from the Bible,I'll take it, but if it is not from the Bible then it's not a message from God and I cannot take it. The Bible warns us through the letter of Paul to Galatians" But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that we have preached to you, let him be accursed".(Galatians 1:8-9).

[@DivineMercy_Official]

@Honey Kim thank you but he's talking about things contrary to the word of God. Just because something is not in the Bible does not mean it is false. For instance read the last paragraph of the Gospel of John who says not everything is in the Bible and please read 2nd Thessalonians 2:15 where Paul says hold fast to the oral tradition that he teaches which means it's not in the Bible. That's why Christ started his church. If everything was in the Bible Jesus wasted his time in beginning his church because it wouldn't be needed. But the Acts of the Apostles says multiple times how the church is needed. Sola Scriptura is not in the bible. God bless

[@honeykim589]

@Divine Mercy Thank you..All the Scriptures is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete or "perfect " equipped for Every good work.(2 Timothy 3:16-17). When something breathed out by God, it has authority, that is infallible authority. So Scripture makes man perfect or complete to perform every good work that God desires for him to do. So we see that Scripture is sufficient since it's God breathed and therefore perfect, how can anything else be needed? God's Word is truth(John 17:17) that is absolute. When defending an absolute source, one must begin with that absolute source. We cannot go outside of an absolute to prove the absolute by something that isn't. Now outside things can show God as absolute Creator,but one must first start with God and His Word,not start outside of His Word to "prove"His Word before one can quote His Word. The Bible can't be reduced to just a historical document, it is supernaturally God-breathed and sufficient. Even in the Old Testament,we see God ordering Israel not to add to His Word, it shows that what God has spoken is infallible and sufficient thus it's not necessary to add anything to it. "You shall not add to the word that I command you,nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you.(Deuteronomy 4:2). The Holy Scripture is the source or the foundation of the Christian faith,without it we wouldn't have any idea what God has revealed to us, but since we have God's Word, we have the perfect source of truth that explains everything we need to believe as Christians.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

@Honey Kim of course scripture is infallible. But what does the Bible say about nuclear war? What does it say about artificial intelligence? What does it say about contraception? Nothing. But Does that mean these items are not of important moral value? Of course they are. The Bible itself says not everything is in the Bible. That is why Christ established his church in the first place And this is what the church hass taught for 2,000 years. Sorry but I cannot continue to argue with you about this, God bless

[@pjorge8363]

Hello Fr., question, I use virtual rosaries (from youtube) helps me focus and pray "along" with the rosary. Have a hard time remembering the decades related to the day of the week. Would you consider this to be a valid and acceptable way to pray the rosary???? Let me know your opinion! Keep up the great work you do! GOD bless!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Yes it is

[@larrya7822]

Your reference to scripture was not biased on proof, but on emotions.

[@Joe-qs2bq]

A shame you didn't also go over each mystery in the rosary especially the Marian ones. May God bless you and your work ❤✝️

Love ❤️ saying the rosary and Chaplet each day

[@ingridreid494]

Jesus said we are all to be holy as he is holy.

[@chrisblanc663]

I like the addition of the new 5 mysteries that were recently added. My only real question (currently)is; how is the ascension of Marry Biblical? I read the King James Bible and I do not see anywhere in there about Marry receiving Godly glory as the rosary would have us believe.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

[@ashbyt1]

Bingo!, DING, DING, DING. Read Matthew 6:7 for a prize when Jesus says something about prayer.

[@EugeneMcfadden-777]

Jesus is the only one who should we pray too & Jesus Christ is king & we should worship Jesus only & Jesus is the one who should praise

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you but who worships Mary? Certainly not Catholics. That has never been Catholic teaching and never will be. There is no encyclical, papal bull, or any kind of magisterium statement in the history of the Church that says to worship Mary. "To pray to" doesn't necessarily mean "to worship" but "to ask." Haven't you ever asked anyone to help you? We ask Mary to help her lead us to her son. To bow doesn’t necessarily mean worship either. Japanese businessmen bow when receiving your business card as a sign of honor. Are they worshipping you? Certainly not. God bless kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZmamHejn71gjrc

[@jesusmaryjoseph831]

Thank you Fr. Chris for the explanation. Sad to say that there many non Catholics don't understand the powerful prayer that Mama Mary teach for peace and conversion of sinners. Just finished watching the Filipino Catholic Defenders channel being attacked by Filipino protestants. Mama Mary, pray for us.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Yes, Liz, true....

[@ashbyt1]

Don't pray for the dead. mary is long dead and she was never sinless or a god.
