Q. 1. When praying the Rosary, what should one focus on? Many promotes focusing on the mysteries? What about focusing on the words of the prayer or the reason for my prayer? With three possibilities, my mind seems to jump back and forth and even wonder away at time. How does a person deal with this?

A. 1. As you indicated, it is possible to focus on three different matters during the recitation of the Rosary. And all of them are acceptable. It then becomes a matter of choice, what is your preference when it comes to focusing during the recitation of the Rosary?

While your thoughts will occassionally wander, when you notice it, simply redirect your focus on praying the Rosary.
