If have never done so, I strongly encourage everyone to obtain some incense, francinsence or myrrh preferably, have it blessed by a priest and burn it in your home, especially while you pray. Our family has taken up this practice of burning blessed candles and incense during the rosary. Prayer is strengthened via use of the senses in this manner and is an ancient practice and pleasing to the Lord, as in the Old Testament when the burning of incense was directly enjoined upon the Jews.
