Convenient to carry and easily fits into any pocket, the decade rosary is good for those on the go.

Sheen cuts to the chase, as usual. Because the Rosary is repetitive, it allows one to say the words while meditating on the mysteries, or by simply placing one's self in the presence of Christ and His mother.

Reciting the Rosary forces one to calm down, to relax. Ever have trouble sleeping? Pick up a rosary and start praying it.

Thanks for posting this, Coleus! Excellent summary and history of the Rosary! Bourbon, I'm a recent convert like you (I was formally received into the Church Easter 2004). I started praying the Rosary in Lent 2001. I was Anglican then, and a Catholic friend gave me a Rosary in early 2001. I got curious, visited my local Catholic book store, and bought a couple of books on Mary and the Rosary. After reading them, I thought the Rosary would be a perfect Lenten discipline. I haven't stopped praying it since. The Rosary is a treasure and a great blessing.
