Welcome to Holy Week! I hope you have had a productive Lenten season as you prepare for the glorious redemption of Christ our King. Personally, I prepared well during Lent in certain areas (my Lenten sacrifice, attending Stations of the Cross, etc.) and have not quite lived up in other areas (reading the Bible, fasting, etc.). But, like in other parts of life (and iterated many times in the Gospels) it is not how you start, but how you end that counts. So I hope to make this a very productive Holy Week. In that spirit, I want to introduce you to a little gem of a website called “Come Pray the Rosary.”
A year ago a visitor left a comment mentioning the website “Come Pray the Rosary” (thanks Jack!). This website is a perpetual, online Rosary prayer session with others around the world. The prayer is set to video of various holy places and works of religious art. You can also leave prayer intentions if you like. You can pray alone and start at the beginning of a mystery instead of joining a mystery already in progress. I know that sometimes we all need a little “kick” to start praying and that is what this site offers. It may sound silly, but sometimes all it takes is a voice set to a little video to be a catalyst to get into that praying mood. Guided rosary prayer also helps us focus our minds since we have a tendency to wonder when we pray silently by ourselves (or at least I suffer from this at times).
So you will now see a new link on the left-hand side of my website which will open “Come Pray the Rosary” in a new browser window. Give it a try if you are looking for new ways of rosary meditation and prayer.
