Becoming Catholic means learning a million intricate prayers and rituals, like the rosary. I ask other Catholics for help and they say “Oh haha, you can’t possibly pray the rosary wrong!” Meanwhile in Heaven folks are like “WHAT’S THAT HORRIBLE SOUND?”

why would anyone in heaven think heartful, contrite and humble prayer sounds like noise

Please don’t joke about this. :) prayer isn’t a performance art, it’s putting yourself in the presence of God.

Just expressing my frustration at feeling so far outside where I see others walking with seeming effortlessness.

Husband compared prayer and bible reading to pushups for me to make me feel better, like when you start one is a big effort, but eventually you get good. I got better at prayers, but not pushups.

Freeform prayers I can do. I spit a mean worship game. But the structured prayers and remembering the steps of the rosary are challenging to me. My memory doesn’t do well with steps and blocks of text.

It's just a habit, everything improves with practice and you'll find the aids that help you best. I think the best advice I had was have a place, time and focus that all put you in the right mood. I get too easily distracted
