What if I am not able to meditate on the mysteries, should I say the Rosary?
Many people who pray the Rosary find it difficult to meditate on the mysteries. Either they don’t consider themselves capable of meditation, or distractions keep them from it. Public rosaries are often impossible to combine with meditation, and the noise and preoccupations of our culture, especially with electronic devices, certainly does not help.
None of this should keep us from praying the rosary, and even trying to meditate on the mysteries. Even if it’s a simple mediation, such as imagining the scene of the mystery, or is one guided by a book – such as a scriptural rosary or other rosary meditation book, it should be possible to some degree for most people. With time, like all habits, if we persevere it will become easier to do.
