“Why don’t you tell me what you think “Praying the Rosary” entails and we can go from there.”

“When ye prey, use not vain repetition, as the heathen do.”. (Matthew 6:7)

Yup. You know nothing about the Rosary.

***“When ye prey, use not vain repetition, as the heathen do.”. (Matthew 6:7)***

Why don’t we look at Matthew 6 in context?
7
3 4 In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words.
8
Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9
5 6 “This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10
your kingdom come, 7 your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
11
8 Give us today our daily bread;
12
and forgive us our debts, 9 as we forgive our debtors;
13
and do not subject us to the final test, 10 but deliver us from the evil one.
14
11 If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
15
But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.

The Rosary contains the Lord’s Prayer to begin and for every decade. Are you telling us that the Lord’s Prayer is pagan babbling?

LOL......repeating a prayer word in centering is much the same......saying the Rosary while contemplating on the life of Jesus......we are extreme multi-taskers...read some scripture, think of that scripture while reciting the Rosary....very simple and beautiful.
