Earlier this month Archbishop Malcolm McMahon of Liverpool requested that every priest in his archdiocese invite the faithful to revive the practice of reciting the rosary on a regular, if not daily, basis.
Some priests then went so far as to dedicate homilies to explaining to congregations what the rosary was, how to pray it, and how they might benefit from partaking in this scriptural and Christocentric devotion.
Catholics could pray the rosary as they walked their dogs, for example, or waited at bus stops, one priest told his congregation; and if they did not have a set of beads to hand then they could count on their fingers instead.
