So, why would people keep saying the rosary?

I thought it was silly as an infant, and Now I know that it is another manmade nonsense, Jesus Christ made that quite clear as you have shown!

Jesus did not say we should not say the same prayer repeatedly. He only gave us one prayer - the Lord's Prayer. He said "Whenever you pray, say ...". He didn't say "Don't say this prayer more than once an hour". The passage you are misunderstanding was a condemnation of the Pharisees, who would pray as fast as they could, without even thinking of what they were saying, in order to cram as many prayers into the allotted prayer time as possible. Which is exactly the opposite of a thoughtful meditation on the life of Christ, like the Rosary.

It is the life and passion of Christ.; it is of no important to you as your Jesus is michael.

Matthew 6:7 of the catholic bibie: An when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens....

how on earth the nwt version was badly twisted to read like that.

Because they are deceived.

The Council of Trent BANNED THE BIBLE and said anyone found with it in their possession would not receive absolution until they handed it over!

As if a PRIEST has the power to forgive sin!

The RCC banned the Bible because they KNEW if people actually found out the truth, the church would be in ruins! Hmm...Sounds like the religious leaders in Jesus' time, too, doesn't it?

History repeats itself and if you want to know what's GOING to happen, you have to understand what DID happen.

“Suzy”, here are some points to consider that may further improve and perfect your prayer life:

(1.) The process of prayer using the Rosary is one of turning away from the harshness, treachery, and violence of the World to focus upon the beauty, and glory of Mary and her Son, our Savior. Believers willingly direct their emotions and thoughts to events (some say, mysteries) in the lives of the holy mother and son. For Christians, continuous and uninterrupted meditation upon the things given from GOD for eternal life and salvation establish spiritual discernment (the ability to recognize and respond to sacred content within life experiences such as events, motives, objects, other persons, purposes, sacred practices (we say, sacraments), and the holy writings.

(2.) The challenge against the Rosary because of repetition is a trick from the Adversary to distract ones attention away from divinity. Common sense dictates that all divine standards and tools provided as gifts to created beings and living creatures must be employed and put to work on the basis of conditions and needs that may vary over time, yet, are themselves immutable and unchanging. The recognition of Christ (and of his mother) is only by operations of the Holy Spirit.

(3.) Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, the lawgiver, and the Creation that relies upon sacred law for divine order. The attack by sin is always through awareness and self-will. The prayers of the Rosary are still a shield and weapon against sin. The power in offering Rosary and other scriptural prayers include alertness, clarity, peace of mind, and a heightened consciousness of divine presence.

There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) For those in an intimate relationship, to repeatedly say “I love you,” is not regarded as boring, insulting, or offensive. Those who pray the Rosary confess their continuing joy, their need, and their respect. Also, the Savior has taught that believers should importune (persist, repeat) in their prayers that make petitions and requests of GOD until they are answered (and, even, after they are answered) as acknowledgement of divine authority and sovereignty.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.

So, you've only ever said the Lord's Prayer once? Also, you've only ever recited each psalm once?

That's what prayer ropes and rosaries are for, dear...Hmm

They are not Mormon or Jehovah Wittiness.

They do not know the true meaning of the Bible.

Why do people whisper to the wind regardless of the rosary?

Because they believe in unsubstantiated things, caring not about if it is real or not. Just as long as it makes them warm and fuzzy inside is all that matters. Ignorance must be bliss, if there are so many ignorant religious people.

Stop trying to make any sense of what religious people do,

it will drive you even crazier than them.

one answer is that they believe the Virgin Mary herself initiated the rosary by revelation
