“When I pray the rosary later - I won’t be posting online at that time because I’ll actually be doing what I said I would be doing - I’ll pray for you.”

First, thank you for praying.

Second, I will fulfill the Biblical command about prayer:

“pray without ceasing;”

Best

I Thessalonians 5:17

A good response to what might be the silliest argument I have ever seen raised on FR.

“pray without ceasing;”

We have a form of ascesis called prayer of the heart. It is the unceasing repitition of a certain prayer throughout the day, an unceasing prayer:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

It takes a little practice, but after awhile it becomes as easy and regular as breathing. It becomes the background mantra of your life.
