+JMJ+ Welcome to the second Holy Rosary thread of #Lent2026. Trying something different tonight. Details coming up. +JMJ+

#CatholicTwitter #CatholicX #RosaryProject

Instead of posting each prayer separately, I’m going to link to the page on my blog that has all the opening prayers, and the page that has all of the closing prayers. As always, they are optional. Use the ones you are drawn to.

I’ll post each Mystery as usual.

Optional Rosary Opening Prayers

I'll post the ending prayers when we get to that.

If you’re pressed for time, you can always come back later. Rosary Thread links are archived at the link below.

Or you can use the Rosary on my blog anytime:

On with the Rosary thread. Here’s a handy chart showing how to pray the Rosary. Begin whenever you’re ready. No rush, go at your own pace.

In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us! Mother of God, pray for us! St. Gregory of Narek, pray for us!
