Hi, John —
Thanks for the question.
Yes, it is alright. I find myself
having to do it every once in a while
when, for some reason,
I leave mine at home. I refer to
it as a Rosary-less Rosary and I
just count on my fingers ten times
while saying my Hail Marys and meditating on the current mystery.
Remember, the importance of the Rosary
is not so much the physical Rosary
itself, though
it is a great visual witness of your
devotion to Our Lady, but the inward
meditation on
the twenty mysteries of the Rosary.
Not
only is it a great Marian devotion;
it's a great Scriptural devotion.
Hope this helps,
Mike
