I haven't said the rosary in a very long time probably since grammar school. I've made up my own way to use the beads which puts me into a meditative state which is pretty thrilling actually. I've been curious about Lourdes and how Mary appeared to the young girl. Mary had the rosary with her and this is what confuses me. Is it a tool from God or is it a tool from man and if it's from man why does Mary have it?

I really enjoy going to the Lourdes grotto just down the road from my father's house. It's completely ignored and is more or less falling apart. But to me that makes it more beautiful than sitting in a church adorned with gold and jewels and pageantry. Anyway if anyone has any thoughts or directions or things they want to share about this I'm all eyes.

I think it's also important to note that, while there is no scripture that explicitly states it, we ARE instructed to pray always. Because of that, if being formal in prayers is all you do all day, it's difficult and bordering on impossible. I'm of the thought that Jesus wants to have real conversations with us, not formal fake prayers. You can't form a strong bond and be comfortable to talk to them if you're unable to HAVE a real conversation with them
