+JMJ+ Welcome to our Rosary thread for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
"Make our hearts like unto Thine"
The Rosary is the “weapon” for these times. — Padre Pio
#CatholicTwitter #RosaryProject
Prayers offered in the opening & closing of our Live Rosary are optional. Use as many or as few as you like. Skip around, skip them altogether.
The Rosary Thread links are archived on the blog at

And there’s a Rosary you can pray on the blog, too.

Now a time of reflection before praying the Rosary.
God, come to my assistance.
— Lord, make haste to help me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Psalm 36
The malice of sinners and God’s goodness
No follower of mine wanders in the dark; he shall have the light of life (John 8:12).
Sin speaks to the sinner in the depths of his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
He so flatters himself in his mind that he knows not his guilt.
In his mouth are mischief and deceit. All wisdom is gone.
He plots the defeat of goodness
as he lies on his bed.
He has set his foot on evil ways,
he clings to what is evil.
Your love, Lord, reaches to heaven, your truth to the skies.Your justice is like God’s mountain, your judgments like the deep.
To both man & beast you give protection.O Lord, how precious is your love.My God, the sons of menfind refuge in the shelter of your win
They feast on the riches of your house; they drink from the stream of your delight.In you is the source of life & in your light we see light.
Keep on loving those who know you, doing justice for upright hearts.
See how the evil-doers fall! Flung down, they shall never rise.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Antiphon: In you is the fountain of life; we drink from the streams of your goodness.
Psalm 61
Prayer of an exile
The prayer of the just man who places his hope in the things of heaven (Saint Hilary).
O God, hear my cry!Listen to my prayer!From the end of the earth I call:my heart is faint.
On the rock too high for me to reach set me on high, O you who have been my refuge, my tower against the foe.
Let me dwell in your tent for ever and hide in the shelter of your wings. For you, O God, hear my prayer, grant me the heritage of those who fear you.
May you lengthen the life of the king:
may his years cover many generations.
May he sit ever enthroned before God:
bid love and truth be his protection.
So I will always praise your name
and day after day fulfill my vows.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. When my heart grew faint, you raised me up
The Magnificat, The Blessed Virgin Mary’s Great Canticle, Luke 1:46-55.
Antiphon: The Lord has lifted us up and drawn us to his heart, for he has remembered his promise of mercy, Alleluia.
What we’re up against is more than a political problem, it’s much larger, deeper, and ancient, it’s a spiritual problem.

Re persecution of Christians around the world (Please pray for Christians in Nigeria. The violence against them there is horrible.)

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Bishop Macram Gassis. I watched him on EWTN on The World Over a few times. He loved God and the Nigerian people very much.

Add your own intentions, too, if you like. I’ll add some of mine here.
- For my sister & her husband, both dealing with injuries & illnesses, my sister’s, very painful.
- For the safe return of my beloved Major Tom cat, missing since May 11th.
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life.
— Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
The Rosary continues at the top of the hour. I hope you’ll join me.
In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
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
The Our Father
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...
(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.
