Glory to Jesus Christ!
My brothers and sisters, two months ago, I came across a spiritual discipline that has produced radical change and abundant spiritual fruit in my life. The catch? The practice itself might seem radical.
Gabriel Castillo is a renowned author, speaker, and general propagator of the Holy Rosary. He has traveled far and wide to encourage people everywhere to take up the practice of praying the Rosary as often as possible. However, what struck me was what he said in going beyond that: "Pray the Rosary *four times* a day."
"Four times???" Without a doubt, it can seem taxing if not outright impossible at times. Yet, my brothers and sisters, as someone that has experienced the floodgates of graces by praying the full Holy Rosary, I urge you to listen, consider, and reflect on the testimony of Gabriel Castillo and many others who have made this discipline their own. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. :)
Yours In Christ

@misericordiaJul 9I think it's a really beautiful practice! And it's easier than you think actually, when you pray the rosary during commuting and some decades in between work for example.
That being said, it shouldn't lead you to rush through it - the most important part is still meditation. Even one Hail Mary said well with love it worth more than a full rosary said without paying attention.

@daltonsmithjmjJul 9Well-put! One of my fondest memories of passing time while standing in very long Army formations was secretly praying some decades of the Rosary using an inconspicuous decade ring. Really appreciate your response!
@lucaJul 9100% agree!
I pray rosary on my commute to work and it’s very easy to dedicate time for praying!
Instead of playing music, podcast or similar you can go trough a decade.
it’s a great habit and I’m discovering it!
But it’s also easy to become overwhelmed and distracted by traffic road while praying and activate the “road rage” mentality in the midst of The Hail Mary 😅🤦🏻♂️

@misericordiaJul 9@daltonsmithjmj That's such a good way to spend the waiting time in the army! I love that!
@misericordiaJul 9@luca Yes, it's great! And also that's so true 😂 or being so distracted by the traffic you forget what mystery you're even praying lol
@sunshineJul 9I am running an online WhatsApp prayer group for 15 decades if anyone is interested in joining just message me:))
@daltonsmithjmjJul 9That's such a cool idea! Thank you for putting something like that together.
