When did you start your Catholic blog?

February 28, 2009

Why did you start your Catholic blog?

I want to spread devotion to the Blessed Mother's favorite prayer, the Rosary. Many Catholics don't know very much about this prayer or how to meditate.

What topics do you cover, and what is your main focus?

I primarily post reflections on the Rosary mysteries but I also include posts on various topics of Catholic faith and devotion and links to sites that can help Catholics learn more about their faith.

What makes your Catholic blog unique and worth reading?

There are a lot of books on the Rosary, but not many resources on how the average person can use meditation to grow closer to Christ. I usually pray the Rosary while I exercise and have written a book called The Rosary Workout. Most of my posts contain insights I received while meditating and praying the Rosary during my workouts.

Advice

  • Be yourself.
  • Find a niche or cover an old subject with a new perspective.
  • Invite guest posters now and then.
  • Use links to expand your content.
  • Treat everyone who comments with respect; I've been able to turn hostile commenters around by simply being respectful and courteous.
