Instead of saying repetitious Hail Marys during a Rosary, spend that time learning Scripture verses.

Memorizing scripture for what reason? To use it to beat other people over the head with? People spout Bible verse all the time. So what? People spout the Koran as well.

Consider this Einstein. Some people may not read so well. Some people don't own their very own Bible that they can just haul all over creation. Some people stuck alone in a nursing home may not have the comfort of the Bible close by. If they do maybe some drugged, pierced, tattooed dike lesbo will beat them up if they read the Bible.

What about the family of a dying Alzheimer patient? They stood around his bed and said the Rosary. The man joined in. They did not even realize he was still conscience. Medically he should not have been able to talk.

The countless mothers I have know who said the Rosary on the babies fingers and toes while rocking and nursing?

Kids and parents praying the Rosary together while cooking or cleaning, sure cuts down on the noise level.

I have friends that do the Rosary in the car on long commutes, use a CD, cut down on the stress. I would doubt you would want them reading the Bible instead of driving?

If you have the free time to sit around and learn scripture all day long good for you! I mean it. But the rest of us have a lot on our plates.

You might be interested in a little book published about fifty years ago, still in print, called “A Scriptural Rosary.”
