NOW WEREN'T YOU ALWAYS TOLD THIS...

QUESTION AT CATHOLIC ANSWERS...
Do angels finish the rosary if you fall asleep?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it true that if you are praying the rosary and you fall asleep the angels finish it for you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Such an idea is the kind of folk piety that might be passed down from a Catholic grandmother, but we have no indication in Church teaching that angels do this. Certainly they do not need to do so. If you inadvertently fall asleep during the rosary, don't worry about it. What matters is your intention to pray the rosary.

    I hope this time I get through to you. I tried before and just as I finished the comment, the computer decided to shut itself down! Here goes again!

    I am just calling in to say thanks for participating in my little book giveaway and to tell you that a book will be wending its way to you. Please give it a couple of weeks to get to you but if it hasn't arrived in a reasonable time, please let me know.

    Thank you once again, and God bless you.
