Have you tried and failed to pray the family Rosary? So have we... many times. But, thanks be to God, we've been praying it every day for four years. Here are some tips you might find helpful.
Really enjoyed this! Growing up, the Rosary was something that we struggled to do well but still consistently did day in and day out, and I'm completely sure that it is the reason that my siblings and I remain practicing are the only practicing Catholics in our generation in my entire extended family. The power of the Rosary cannot be overstated.
We started praying with the kids last October as October devotion to Holy Mother and we are continuing to do so. Our son always asks before going to bed if we are praying the Rosary, so they enjoy it.
Regarding advices given - they are really good, but it seems to me that many people would not do some of the practices, but on the other hand, my kids are really young so, those advices might come in handy when they grow a bit up.
Thanks for the great assembly of practical advices - very applicable.
Great ideas! I have a 5,3,2yr and 6 month here. My wife and I have always just prayed it while they fall asleep. A candle and a statue of Mary would be nice touch. Thanks!
Praise God, that’s awesome! Yes, we got a little corner shelf for their room so that if / when we pray it while they fall asleep we can light a candle and have a nice little “altar” in the corner and it works great.
Thank you for sharing this! My family got through the church-closed portion of the lockdown through Sunday family rosaries, among other things.
Thank God for father Mark, Mary! And Ascension! 😇🙏

Thanks so much for sharing that testimony, Joe. What a beautiful witness.

Praise the Lord, thanks for sharing, Karlo! So glad to hear that your children enjoy it, what a grace.
And yes, take what is helpful from this advice and leave what is not. Certain tips are more helpful at certain stages (or even month to month!).
