These are just my thoughts, but I see praying the rosary as being beneficial if it is used for self-reflection.

In other words, I do not view prayer as being equivalent to an incantation that can change how others act or change the course of events - but rather as a means of self-examination that reminds me to act on what I profess to believe: to love others, and to help and support those who are in need, those who are suffering, those who are lonely, those who have experienced a loss.

So can praying the rosary save America?

Perhaps...but only if those of us who pray realize that the power to do so resides not in the words we recite, but in OUR ACTIONS that result from our prayers.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on this topic - thanks again for posting!

Wishing you well and peace.

Tim
