I would like to pray the rosary on my own. I don’t know what my husband and children will think of me…

…and they will probably tell the world…

Answer: Just an FYI – I have still not been able to feel ‘safe’ at the thought of having my husband or family ‘find out’ that I was praying the rosary – much less using the physical one! Even though a dear, sweet friend made me a most beautiful one – I’m afraid at this point it must sit in its case most of the time. BUT. I began praying the Mercy Chaplet way back when He first asked us – and used my fingers to keep count. I start on my right hand, little finger, and work back and forth between both hands. First round from right little finger, through all my fingers until I reach the left little finger, one finger per repetition. I just move whatever ‘finger’ I’m on down against my leg or desk, and intentionally keep it there until the next finger’s turn. Second round from left little finger to right…It’s easy to keep track of what ’round’ or decade I am on by what little finger I start with. I even asked Him once if that offended Him – and He just chuckled…:0)
