Many of us are very familiar with the rosary but, for some of us, it can be a hard practice to add to our daily lives. It requires silence, concentration, and just a bit of patience with yourself. For some of us, our mind can’t help but to wander and it can be a difficult practice to adopt, at first. As we use these last days of Lent to deepen our prayer life, how might we try to incorporate the rosary into our daily lives?
Fr. Edward Looney, a Catholic Exchange contributor, priest, and author of A Rosary Litany offers some insights into how we can use litanies to enrich our experience of this sacred prayer and add a richness to our spiritual life that we never knew was possible. Fr. Looney is an enthusiastic teacher of Marian devotions and he shares some great practical steps we can use right now to begin developing a rich spiritual life with the aid of the rosary.
