Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear Suzanne: I praise God that you are interested in our Blessed Mother's prayer. There are many spiritual rewards in praying the Rosary. Most people pray the Rosary out-loud, or whisper it to themselves. It can also be said solely in the mind, but it is better to say it out-loud, or whisper it, or at least mouth the words as this helps to stay focused. It is common to pray the Rosary while listening to music. The Rosary is a personal devotion, so there are no regulations. You can pray it in any way you like. God Bless, Bro.
