**Petition, combined with a great deal of meditation (the “soul” of the Rosary) – thinking and rethinking the things Jesus had said to them, the actions and miracles they witnessed, the meaning of His death, resurrection, and ascension. It consisted of reflecting upon Scripture; when Jesus appeared to them on the night of His resurrection,**

Exactly what a Rosary is!!

Catholic Ping!

My friends, almost two thousand years may have passed, but the prescription remains the same.

Beautiful! My husband's confessor told him yesterday, that he and I must say the rosary "together" every day to get our kids back in church. And we are working very hard with this beautiful intercessory prayer to Mary toward achieving that goal ...

They most certainly did pray “The Lord’s Prayer”. After all, he directly gave us that one in person.

>>LOL. Like I said, is this a Catholic board now? Who died and made you pope?<<

This is a Catholic Caucus thread. Click on the Religion Moderator’s page to find out the rules about it. Apparently you don’t know and no one called the mod to help you.

Yes, with a Caucus title, it is a Catholic thread.

I didn't know FR was allowing threads now where only the pinged were allowed to take part.

Why don't you post these in "religion" rather than the main FR screen? Otherwise other people are going to want their special "caucus" threads on various topics to be posted on the main screen also.

[Religion Moderator]

This thread is posted in the Religion Forum.

If you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the browse. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."
