That's "give us this day our daily bread". Padre Pio called the Rosary his weapon, it's very powerful.<br /> Whenever someone asks me to pray for something or I see a person who needs prayers, I ask the Blessed Mother to put that on "the list". Then I when I pray the rosary or offer up my (small) sacrifices and sufferings for, I tell her they are for the list.. She keeps the list the way my small children ask me to hold things and keep them safe. I can't usually remember for long who's on the list, but she knows, and she knows what they need, like a good mother.<br /><br />That way I can focus on what's on my plate(like my small children) and let her worry about what other people need, because I don't usually know anyway. I can meditate on the mysteries (or sometimes let her bring people to mind) when I pray the Rosary and not try to remember all these intentions, since I can't any way.<br /><br />Works for me. The Rosary is a great way to intercede and meditate. It's a powerful remedy for anything.modrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-9658052135529527552013-05-03T18:30:16.991-07:002013-05-03T18:30:16.991-07:00http://medjugorje1.blogspot.com/2013/04/medjugorje...http://medjugorje1.blogspot.com/2013/04/medjugorje-commission-cardinal.html<br /><br />john konnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745756021498300622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-91742400009767684572013-05-01T08:49:08.540-07:002013-05-01T08:49:08.540-07:00Cassi Duncan - that is brilliant!

Thank you so much for sharing that!<br /><br />I'm also a convert, was raised Baptist, and the first thing I prayed using a rosary was the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. <br /><br />http://thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/praythechaplet.php<br /><br />Now I make rosaries, knotted twine ones (http://rosaryarmy.newevangelizers.com/) and I also find that the rosary is one of the best "weapons" in my prayer arsenal (Bible, prayer books, Icons, etc...) for intercessory prayer.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859238970975262922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-89432417576086377352013-04-30T10:51:52.812-07:002013-04-30T10:51:52.812-07:00This is another nice rosary site. sometimes my m...This is another nice rosary site. sometimes my mind wanders off topic, and this "pray along with the congregation" format helps me stay on point.

It prompts me to pray for the people who probably need my prayers but I am not close enough to that it would occur to me to pray a whole rosary for them, like classmates and neighbors.Sophie Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984573258370585557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-47527864450845820902013-04-29T23:15:03.664-07:002013-04-29T23:15:03.664-07:00To your original correspondent: Take a lesson fro...To your original correspondent: Take a lesson from the Blessed Mother at Cana (the changing of the water to wine). She didn't come to Jesus and tell Him what to do, or how to fix the problem. She merely presented the problem. "They have no wine." And even when her Son seemed to brush her off, she instructed those in charge of serving at the event, "Do whatever He tells you to do." She didn't tell Jesus HOW to solve the problem. She merely laid the problem at His feet, with quiet and steady faith that He would do SOMETHING.Cassi Mosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665015720293096093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-62217721561912766212013-04-29T20:35:13.895-07:002013-04-29T20:35:13.895-07:00to the original commenter, I usually ask that God ...to the original commenter, I usually ask that God bless them in whatever way He knows they need help.... "Lord please bless so&so, you know what she/he needs the most." or sometimes I will make the request like this "Lord I am asking for healing for so&so, physical, mental, emotional, spirtual, whatever they need the most."<br /><br />Thanks for the kick start sister, I have been very lax lately in praying the rosary.
