Struggling with the Rosary 

Mark Shea had this linked in on his blog - Struggling with the Rosary

To which I commented:
I am glad to read this. I got frustrated when I read that some Catholics say that those of us who didn't pray the rosary were not good Catholics -- hell bound even. It was so hard to me being a convert to "buy in".

I struggle so much with it I spent two weeks doing something I DO like to do -- coding. I wrote an online rosary designed to be used on the iPhone. (no, its not an app you can get from the app store -- its a web page) ... The goal was to make a teaching tool for me. The interface is weird (perfect for us programmer types) ... It has all the prayer texts. It lists the mysteries. It has bible verses. It even has pictures and it comes up with the right mysteries for the right day ... except for lent. That is what I needed.

It helped me learn it and because I put the effort into it, I actually pray it. Shameful, I know but that's my confession.
If you are interested in looking at it ... there is a link at the top. It does not work in IE. It does work on the iPhone.

NOTE: A brief post I did during development that explains how the interface works
