There is more to praying the Rosary than just saying the prayers. Anyone can say the Rosary—just teach them the words and they can rattle them off. But authentic prayer requires mindfulness and intentionality. There are many ways to pray the Rosary. You may choose to focus on a word or a phrase. Another way to pray the Rosary is with the Scriptures. I also find it very fruitful to offer each decade for a person or a special intention.

than one thing at a time most likely will make the Rosary an exhausting exercise.
