Full Question
Sometimes I mix the mysteries of the rosary and meditate on different parts of Jesus’ life, not necessarily on the prescribed day. I never thought about it until someone said it was disrespectful. Does the rosary have to be said in a certain way to be effective?
Answer
When you are praying the rosary privately, you can mix and match. The object of the rosary in prayer. If you want to pray for five decades, meditating on one mystery, it’s fine. There is absolutely nothing disrespectful in this.

I pray the rosary daily, when I go to bed I put it on my phone so i am praying as I go off to sleep. At work I put it on with my ear phones in. I do the same with the mass.
When I pray my Rosary I often ask a saint to help me pray. For example if I am praying for my children I ask St. Monica to help me pray. Do you think this is o.k ?
I mix the rosary from English, for kids, to Spanish, for the hubby, and closing in English, is that ok? Also, is it OK not to pay the litany, or is it a must?
