The Inner Life - June 27, 2024 - Mary and the Rosary

The Inner Life

Father Michael Hurley joins Patrick to discuss Mary and the Rosary

• (7:59) Difference between how we honor Mary and how we honor God.
• Where does the rosary come from?
• (17:56) Dennis - How to stay focused during the rosary? I try to do it regularly.

(21:45) Break 1

• Michael - It seems like there's an over emphasis of Mary in the rosary. How 'bout Jesus? I'm non-Catholic, but have been present in the rosary w/Catholic friends. I even went to a Catholic Camp.
• (30:22) Meditating on the Mysteries of the rosary.
• Donna - About 7 years ago, while praying the rosary, and for each mystery, imagined and saw each of my five sons in each sorrowful mystery. I just felt like Mary had given me a gift, of actually seeing the suffering through her eyes, as I was seeing my sons.

(37:12) Break 2

• Can you make up mysteries of the rosary?
• (43:56) Deb - When my mom had a massive hemorrhage thought she was going to die. She woke up was confused; I touched her feet started praying Hail Mary and finished the prayer and that was her first words she spoke.
• Mary Helen - The rosary, how instrumental it was in bringing me back to the Church; And what I'm doing here in the Portland area with the Dominicans and the rosary.
