** not really consecrating**
I don’t think any of us can consecrate anything. That is the job of the priest.
I think you probably mean concentrating.
And, no, the prayer of the Rosary is not in vain. You have no idea of the benefits of saying the Rosary. For instance, have you ever heard the story about keeping the Muslims away by saying the Rosary? I will post the links in the next post to you.
Please do not try to put words into the mouths of Catholics and assume what we believe according to Catholic tradition.
They have their own vain repetitions they do with their prayer beads.
Your comment does not respond to the issue. You said it has "value" in response to my misspelled comment on the fact that Catholics say that they are meditating on the mysteries so that would be where their focus was, not on the "prayer" itself. How beneficial you see it as does not respond to that issue
Please do not try to put words into the mouths of Catholics and assume what we believe according to Catholic tradition.
When you say the rosary are your thoughts directed to Christ and the mysteries of His life and death or are they on Mary as you mouth the words.
Who is the center of your meditation Christ or Mary?
Salvation,
Christians are not supposed to fear those that can physically harm us (e.g. Muslims) we are supposed to bring the word to them.
