   Devman - not sure if you’ll catch this response, since it’s a bit down your list of recent articles, but I figured i’d try. Truth is what caught my eye was your comment on the difficulty of saying the rosary…especially with any consistency and discipline. Anyhow, same goes for me and a lot of men. Odd thing is, I recall back about 4-5 years ago…when I was saying the rosary 3 times a day (didn’t last long)…and it overcame me and I absolutely loved it. Perhaps it’s not a consolation that should be sought out…but it was truly wonderful and I have little doubt it would happen again…not to mention the other countless benefits. Well, i believe i will try once again and see what happens. Rosary in the morning and afternoon. If there’s time for more, will do more. Up to the challenge? 1 week, minimum 2 rosaries a day, but the more the merrier. It’ll be like a retreat week. Let me know what ye thinks….

   Hi Quiqster,
    
   That’s big stuff! 3 Rosaries per day, or even 2. I prayed one today after Mass, and that was a big deal for me. Still, I DO like a challenge, especially a spiritual one. I will consider it for one week and respond within that time whether I will take up your challenge.
    
   I appreciate your challenging me to do something like this.

   Well, Quigster, I have not been praying the Rosary multiple times per day, but I have been praying it almost every weekday after Mass, so for now, that is what I can manage.

   [...]   I gave up hope a few weeks back that any new adorers would sign up for adoration.   Over a month ago, I asked our Blessed Mother for just one person to sign up for adoration, but lo, nothing happened. I knew our Blessed Mother had prayed for my intention, and that God wanted people to go to adoration, so I attributed it to people not listening to his inspiration and to my own poor effort in writing the adoration article for the newsletter.   Well, last night the phone rings, and the young woman’s voice on the other end asks for Devin. I tell her that I am he, and then she surprises me by asking if she “can still sign up for an adoration hour”.   Me: “You bet you can! Which hour do you want?!”   Our Blessed Mother came through, and so today I made good on my promise to her and prayed the rosary for these new adorers.   I say adorers in the plural because her whole family is coming to adoration. While talking with her, I heard a baby making holy clamor in the background, and she told me that she and her husband were married in the last year and are already blessed with a baby!   When our conversation ended, I looked at my Immaculate Heart of Mary painting that my mom gave me, thanked her and Jesus, and then the thought came into my mind that even though I had given up on the prayer long ago, Mary and Jesus hadn’t given up, and I wondered how many more of my prayers may be like that–forgotten by me but moving in the Heart of Christ and awaiting his brilliant timing to be answered in unexpected ways.   [link] [...]
