Actor Russell Brand has posted a video in which he demonstrates how to pray the rosary, though he acknowledged he hasn’t fully mastered some of the prayers. (snip) Russell Brand has devoted a number of recent videos to exploring Christianity and Catholicism, saying he has started to wear a cross around his neck. (snip) Last year, he expressed his need for God in his life, insisting without Him he “cannot cope in this world.”

If you say a full rosary, by half way through you know all the prayers by heart. Trust me.

each decade and each day of the week have assigned meditations, including the
luminous mysteries. there's help with that on line.
before fr. robert barron became a bishop, he did a lovely massive dvd set on catholicism.
the trick is getting that set for the english dvd zone. mine is u s--zone 1?
the satellite station ewtn is the global catholic network. it has loads of programming books dvds for the
eire/uk market in their on line shop. Godspeed!

I couldn't really get into praying the Rosary until I found How to pray the Rosary without distractions at rosary-center.org. Wonderful meditations.

Would this be considered part of the great awakening that seems to be happening? Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life. He told us that No man cometh to the Father but by me. People are desperate for answers that make this global mess we all are experiencing make sense. Jesus is drawing men and women to Him with His truth. We are seeing the beginning of a great awakening with individuals seeking answers. God bless them all.

wearing a cross around your neck does not make you a Catholic, when I was growing up in the Catholic faith, we would only wear a Miraculous Medal or Scapular and these were only to remind us of the love that the Blessed Mother has for us, which is as powerful for a Catholic, as attending the Good Friday, Stations of the Cross in church
Then I loved the old Catholic church and faith and was proud of being a Catholic ... now not so much

There are a lot of rosary apps that help in praying it. I say the rosary every day right after dinner. It is calming and helps with all the stress that has been building up through the day. I know it has brought me closer to God. Bless Russell Brand - he's had a hard time of it, but he seems to be coming home.

There are about a million rosaries on YouTube and if you play one you will see that, with 2 or more people, one is the leader and says the first half of each prayer then the group says the second half.
I am just explaining, not criticizing Russel.
1. The Rosary is not really a chant, it is a meditation on the mysteries of Christ's life, and each decade has a different meditation.
So we just had Easter so maybe you want to pray the Glorious Mysteries. The meditation for the first decade is The Resurrection. The leader will always state the meditation before beginning the decade.
2. Catholics do pray with Mary, I do not say "to" Mary, and the words of the Hail Mary come right from Scripture.
3. It is a stumbling block to protestants, and I know you are here, :-) because it seems to them "a form of idolatry to pray to anyone but Jesus."
4. But the Rosary is an ancient tradition dating back to the days when most people were illiterate and could not read the Script, and so The Church gave them the mysteries of the Rosary to help the meditate and even contemplate on the Life of Christ.
God bless Russel Brand and anyone else who has the intuition to seek God through the power of prayer in these days when a very different power seems to wish to dominate.

I pray the Rosary every day using the Hallow app. The Pray 40 challenge during Lent was life changing for me.

I am unfamiliar with this person, but if he has a following and is helping people to become Christians, that would appear to be a very good thing.

I pray the Rosary daily. I calmness that comes over me soon after I begin has gotten me through some of my toughest trials. Jesus elevated Mary His mother to the highest position. Mary will be out intercessor she has the ear of Jesus. He never denied His mother anything.
The repetitive prayer and corresponding beads give something to hold on too when,panic overtakes you.
My Faith is being tested right now. My wonderful husband of 49 years died suddenly in the middle of a conversation with me last Sunday. Grief, panic and sadness surround me. The hundreds of prayers from our friends truly help, but The Rosary is like the comfort of a mother wrapping her arms around me and asking her son to watch over me.
Put down the cynicism, open your heart, close your eyes, and begin at the Crucifix (you can listen on tape too) and pray along. It will change the world.
