I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, “The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit.“
I’m not talking about reciting the Stations of the Cross on your knees or praying the rosary in the back of church with the over-80 crowd on their way to an early bird special. I mean the process of “waking up to God” that Benedictine Brother David Steindl-Rost writes about, or that Barbara Brown Taylor describes in her book, “An Altar in the World”:
When I look up from feeding the outside dogs to see the full moon coming up through the bare trees like the wide iris of God’s own eye–when I feel the beam of it enter my busy heart straight through the zipper of my fleece jacket and fill me full of light–I am in prayer.

Let’s not be too dismissive of the “over 80 crowd saying their rosaries on their way to the early bird special”! More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of..and the rosary is the prayer of the Mother of God…one she said would be the one to bring about peace in the world….and peace in the heart. Meditating on the gospel stories of Jesus life ( what the rosary is about) is formal prayer and dear to the hearts of many…especially the elderly as they were “trained” in it….unlike so many of our younger truth seekers who seem to have an aversion to this way of praying and dismiss it as the prayer of the peasant. This is like saying that the Our Father, the prayer Jesus taught us to pray, is also archaic for the same reason. One can make every minute of the day a pray, an offering to God..but at some point one needs to get down on one’s knees and make that connection in a more concrete way! Sorry but I get rather defensive when the rosary is seemingly belittled along with our elder and wiser brethren.

I agree with skylark.
The are several ways of praying. Let’s not be dismissive with one or another specially with the Rosary. For those who don’t give Our Blessed Mother the recognition that she deserves remember the Canan’s Weeding Gospel. Jesus made His first miracle by request of Our Blessed Mother. Who if not She to act as our intercesor as in the Gospel?
The Rosary is not a repetitive praying as too many people think. It is the meditation of the Gospel.

This is an awesome way of feeling God’s in our souls and pray.
Now try getting infront of the Blessed Sacrament, contemplation has more amazing results.
