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

Patrick Conleyby Patrick Conley

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.
