1). All the while, during the Praying of The Rosary; Each Thought and Prayer is to be offered as an act of Worshiping GOD in HUMILITY and offering gratitude for His involvements within the lives of Mary Mother of Jesus–Joseph–ourselves -and a multitude of others, to be honored by recalling their participation with His Divine Will. To be prayed with an overall intention such as knowledge or healing or interceding for another’s welfare or praise for blessing bestowed, etc,etc. BUT not JUST BABBLING WORDS IN REPETITION WHICH OUR LORD ( via Mathew ) STERNLY WARNS AGAINST.
2). ALTHOUGH ON that SUBJECT of “babbling”, It needs to be stated that, some days trying to focus, is using all our strength, (and if no lies are being told to ones self) does equate into all we can do. and that is what God desires. For these are the days when we are humbled (or one of the ways to consider “poor in Spirit”) and need be driven by faith alone. This is when our Triune God is allowed to make or re-make us strongest when we are weakest. (please, give some deep thought to this profound explanation of The paradox of humility by Easton)
3). We must ALWAYS Pray by first allowing God to make sure that our heart is attached to our mind (and as my Wise Dad often used to say) double check that “we are not busy Broadcasting, when we should be Tuning in”). This lack of Focus/Discernment can happen during ALL AND ANY Type of Prayer, be it Charismatic, Traditional, Feeding the Needy, Meditating on Scripture, etc.
Bottom line is Be Still (in Heart and Mind) and Know that He is God. (Paraphrased, Psalm 46:10)
