I have an interesting relationship with the rosary. It’s not my usual form of prayer, and I don’t do it very often; I tend to save it more for when I’m in crisis mode. In those moments, it always comes through and pulls me out of my fear/anxiety/general icks.
That said, I was just reading a great article from Commonweal Magazine, in which a baby boomer and cradle Catholic talks about how he came back to the rosary as an adult. He now prays it a couple of times a day. It’s a terrific article and very worth a read.  If you’re new to the rosary, it might make you want to try it yourself.  If the rosary is already a part of your prayer life, this article will probably make you see it in a new light. It’s no accident that this form of prayer has stuck around as long as it has … and it’s probably no accident that lots of us keep circling back to it in the end.
UPDATE: Rats! Looks like the link above only works for subscribers. But I guess you can still read my article … 🙂
