But, alas, I’m not qualified
Ever since the Atlantic printed that rosaries are associated with extremism, they’ve been flying off the shelves.
True story: I once seriously considered joining the Confraternity of the Rosary.
I liked the idea of making a lifetime commitment to an act of personal discipline. You vow to say a full rosary at least once a week, if not daily. I think repetitive prayers work like meditation on the brain and are good for you in the same way.
Plus, when you are in the Confraternity, you get: “A share during life, and even after death, in all the good works and prayers of the members of the Confraternity” and also the entire Dominican Order. So it’s like a giant feedback loop of goodness.
Problem is, I’m not a Catholic. A pretty strong requirement. I’m not even a believer. I don’t even believe in vibes, auras or karma. Or aliens or ghosts. My spiritual antenna got snapped off in a tragic accident.
Dead Pool tomorrow! Lest you forget…
