Didn´t like the "I tread where I please", that constantly makes its round, so I changed it up.

She says "Fiat" and so she sets an example for us.

Having a holy rosary with your Bible are essential to your faith. Your holy rosary is fundamental to strengthen your faith and pray for other people. I have lots of faith in the holy rosary. It whips the devil and anything evil you are dealing with, the rosary resolves it for you. If you have a problem with something or someone, pray the holy rosary and your problem will get resolved. If you are grateful about something, pray the holy rosary and give thanks to God by praying the rosary. Reading the Bible is essential to a Christian faith because it also fills you with wisdom and knowledge about God. God speaks to you when you read the Bible. When we pray the holy rosary, we talk back to God but when we read the Bible, God talks to us. Declare Jesuschrist as your savior and those words will save your life. Everything in the Bible is true. Do you know what is also true? Visiting the blessed sacrament and talk to Jesus from your heart. Jesus is truly present in the blessed sacrament. Go to a Catholic Church and visit a blessed sacrament. You will kneel or sit down quietly. Look at the host and stare at it. Talk to Jesus from your heart. When you leave that place, you will realized someone was listening to you. That is Jesus. Your prayers get answered when you have faith in Jesus by visiting Him in the blessed sacrament. Jesus is alive and He has never leave us. Jesus is pure love. We have access to God and people don’t even know it. We have the holy rosary, the Bible, the sacramentals, and the blessed sacrament. The Eucharist is food for the soul. Visit Jesus in the blessed sacrament and pray your rosary. God bless you.

Different anon here to ask more rosary questions!! So, you said that you're supposed to pray while contemplating the holy mysteries: does that mean there are like specific prayers you're meant to say? Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, I'm still a baby Christian and I'm definitely not very familiar with Catholic traditions and practices.

There are no dumb questions, only questions you've never been taught the answer to, and I'm happy to help if I can! I think a visual demonstration would be easier than me describing it so...

These ↓ are my rosary beads, and where my fingers are spanning is a decade.

You can identify a decade because they're separated by isolated beads. It's called a decade because it consists of 10 beads. In the traditional rosary, a Hail Mary is prayed on each of the beads in a decade. The Hail Mary prayer is as follows:

Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our deaths. Amen.

So now the mysteries. A different mystery is contemplated on each decade, while praying the Hail Marys. For example, today (at time of writing) is Tuesday, so you would contemplate the sorrowful mysteries. The first sorrowful mystery is The Agony in the Garden, so I would contemplate Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane while praying the 10 Hail Marys and keeping track of them on the beads. As you can see there are 5 decades in a rosary, and there are 5 mysteries in each 'set' of mysteries. A mystery for every decade.

And that's how you contemplate the mysteries! For a list of all the mysteries and what days to pray them, check my previous ask (just search the #asks tag on my blog) and for what to do with the rest of the beads, I'll attach a helpful guide below.

my bf hasn't been to church by himself for a month

i'm starting to think that he doesn't really care about it anymore and it's sth very dear and important to me

where is the responsibility?

a few days ago, he also talked about astrology, said that he thinks that maybe we should use it to our advantage, but when i pointed out that he should look at it from a catholic perspective, do some research, he became very defensive and claimed that i'm not listening to him and that he won't discuss it with me anymore

what's funnier is that when i used to talk about it, he didn't want to hear about it at all

i'll start praying the rosary for him

i don't know what else i can do since listening to what i have to say about matters of faith overwhelms him

i won't treat him like a child and force him to go anywhere, do anything that he doesn't want to do

in the end, it's his choice

but i know that i won't be able to raise children in the faith as i wish with someone who calls himself a believer but doesn't take responsibility for himself in this matter - he won't take the responsibility for the others as well and there won't be a living faith in such a home, only a lukewarm one
