+JMJ+ Welcome to our Twitter Rosary Thread to cultivate a civilization of life & love.
“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times.”
— Padre Pio
#CatholicTwitter #RosaryProject
Prayers offered in the opening & closing of our Live Rosary are optional, including the novena prayers. Use as many or as few as you like. Skip around, skip them altogether. Make it yours.
The Rosary Thread links are archived on the blog at
catholicheartandmind.com/twitter-devoti…
And there’s a Rosary you can pray on the blog, too.

And now a time of reflection in preparation for praying the Rosary.
In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
St. Angela Merici, pray for us!

My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations; Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience. And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed…

Some intentions follow. Feel free to add your own to the thread, too.
Please pray for priests, bishops, Pope Francis, especially for those in lands where persecution is intense, especially for @CardJosephZen.
Please pray for the repose of the souls of the late Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger & George Cardinal Pell. May they rest in peace.

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, you have deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three shepherd children there the treasures of grace hidden…
(There’s a place in this prayer for your personal prayer intention.)
(For those who don’t believe, we pray…)
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord…
For the Holy Father
Our Father Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us…
For an increase of Faith, Hope, & Charity in our souls & our world
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
& blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us now
& at the hour of our death.
(Glory be, here and at the end of each decade.)
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
The USCCB has asked us to fast and pray with special intentions for the Rosary. (Originally for May 13th, but I’m keeping it in our Rosary & the one on my blog, too).
