I don’t know if there is any point in commenting a show that happened 21 years ago. But I just watched it, and it saddened me that to someone who wrote an email saying he was an ex protestant and struggled with the Rosary, she answered that she struggled too and that is why she did not pray it often! I would have given a very different answer! I would have told him that the Rosary is mainly about Jesus, that each Mystery contemplates a scene of His life, that st John Paul II called it ‘compendium of the Gospel’, so his protestant resistance is unjustified. And I would have shared with him how I pray it: I mention the Mystery, I read or recall in my mind what is written in the Gospel about it, then I talk to our Lord about it, for instance in the first Sorrowful Mystery, I thank Him for showing me that the perfect prayer is to do God’s will. Then I talk to Mary about it, asking our Mother to help me pray as Jesus prayed. Then I say the Our Father, and the Hail Marys, and they don’t sound like empty ‘repetitious prayer’, because in my mind I keep present the intention for which I am praying, and it feels comfortable to keep saying those ten Hail Marys that help me say: pray for us, pray for us, pray for us…
