Dear Jo —
Along with Mary Ann, the rest of my team also extends our sympathies on the passing of your friend's father.
Although the Rosary was first given to St. Dominic, all Christians and interested non-Christians are welcome to pray the Rosary any time and any place. It's a Biblical prayer that focuses on the lives of Jesus, Mary and
St. Joseph. They are also encouraged to pray the Rosary either:
- privately, or
- publicly with:
- other Catholics
- other non-Catholic Christians, or
- other non-Christians, if they show an interest.
I used to run a free Rosary for Protestants program that sent Rosaries to seeking Protestants and non-Christians but no longer have the financial or operational means to do this anymore. Nevertheless, if you wish get your hands on a free Rosary just Google for one.
It's a great devotion because whether you are a Catholic Christian, Protestant Christian, or non-Christian, we are meditating on the lives of both Jesus, Our Lord, and Mary, His Mother and it has many blessings attached to praying it.
You said:
- Are non-Catholics allowed to go to the Rosary?
- If so, what do we do?
- What do we do?
We pray it! If you are unfamiliar with how to pray the Rosary, this web posting will help:
If anyone is interested in the history behind the Rosary they can check out my history page.
Hope this helps,
Mike
