Dennis

Meditating on the Mysteries of the rosary.

Father Michael Hurley joins Patrick to discuss Mary and the Rosary
(7:59) Difference between how we honor Mary and how we honor God.
Where does the rosary come from?
(17:56) Dennis - How to stay focused during the rosary?   I try to do it regularly.

(21:45) Break 1
Michael - It seems like there's an over emphasis of Mary in the rosary.  How 'bout Jesus?  I'm non-Catholic, but have been present in the rosary w/Catholic friends.  I even went to a Catholic Camp.
(30:22) Meditating on the Mysteries of the rosary.
Donna - About 7 years ago, while praying the rosary, and for each mystery,  imagined and saw each of my five sons in each sorrowful mystery.  I just felt like Mary had given me a gift, of actually seeing the suffering through her eyes, as I was seeing my sons.

(37:12) Break 2
Can you make up mysteries of the rosary?
(43:56) Deb - When my mom had a massive hemorrhage thought she was going to die.  She woke up was confused; I touched her feet started praying Hail Mary and finished the prayer and that was her first words she spoke.
Mary Helen - The rosary, how instrumental it was in bringing me back to the Church;  And what I'm doing here in the Portland area with the Dominicans and the rosary.

Janet

Father Carter Griffin joins Patrick to discuss Redemptive Suffering
(5:48) When should we avoid suffering and when should we embrace suffering?
How can Job and the Psalms teach us to suffer?
(19:23) Lilly - I have a sister suffering from cancer, she is away from the Church.  As a part of the Body of Christ, could I place her suffering during communion time, for her suffering to be meritorious.

(22:04) Break 1
Mary - I've been offering suffering for my son and grandchildren, anything I could do. Grandchildren taken away from our son.  She was given 80% custody, and now they're near 18 years old.  My suffering has been watching our son go through this.  Kids being turned against their father me.
(26:38) How do we understand a God with suffering in our world?
Lina - Praying for somebody and didn't think it was not working.  I saw an older brother berating a little kid.  I started praying for him for months.  So felt like my prayers worked for the little kid as he was doing better.
Addie - I suffered from post pulmonary embolism; I'm in my 20s and I get down from that suffering.   When I was suffering a couple months ago, it's been hard for me to understand why this is happening.

(39:16) Break 2
Jo - If you are suffering and pray and go to mass, but you don't say to God, 'I'm offering this up', does it still get offered.
(43:11) Janet - How do we still pray for healing, and while we're praying, how to offer it up still?  Sounds like a dichotomy?
Cecilia - In Latino culture, people say that if you are suffering, you committed a grave sin.  What could I say to someone who says that?
