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).

Let us now take a few minutes to prepare to pray the Holy Rosary.

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

Behold, He makes all things new!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Some prayer intentions

- For friends of the #RosaryProject, our Twitter family, & patrons of my blog. Thank you! I cannot tell you how much you mean to me and how much your support is appreciated. You are always in my prayers.

- For all who are ill and lonely, all who have asked for prayers, all in need but have not asked, all who suffer in silence, all who feel abandoned.

- For @Ectobass M. Czechowski’s father & sister. Both are dealing with cancer although neither has spread. Thank you in advance!! St Peregrine & Servant of God Mother Maria Lange, hear our prayers!

- For his father-in-law, Felicia C and John L who are also battling cancer. St Peregrine hear our prayers and carry them quickly to our Lord. (Also from @Ectobass M. Czechowski)

- For @Ken47188750 Son Of Sobieski’s Uncle Joe who passed away the night of June 23. Pray also for his Aunt Eileen, cousins, & their children. Thank You and God Bless you!

- For the peaceful repose of the soul of Elizabeth Madeleine Perrin (neé Toth). (Ken’s mother)

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

- For my best friend Cindy’s mother who passed away Sunday, July 24, early in the morning. Though she had been very ill we were still shocked. Your prayers for Mrs. M (and the rest of the family) are appreciated.

- For @CatholicLisa, experiencing serious health issues, & also that her beloved dawg King will find a loving home, and, Lord, heal their hearts. 💔🙏🏻

- For Fr. S. A., who reached out to me via the blog & asked me and my group for a 54 day rosary novena for his intentions. Well, the only group I have is y’all blog readers and Twitter tweeters, so if you want to join me in doing that, please do.

- For James: Please keep him, and all children who suffer from serious illness or disease, in your prayers.

https://twitter.com/emmpy/status/1507371283796971520?s=20&t=cRWh1Uz9F64kPG3TCCKV6w

- For all having serious health problems.
- For all dealing with cancer, treatments, & finances.
- For all seeking new directions in life, & for those having family problems.

- For my sister and her family, all having health issues, some better now, some worse.

- For so many who have asked for prayers or mentioned illnesses, etc., I can't possibly list them all. The Lord knows who they are. We offer prayers for those souls and leave it in the Lord's hands.

- For the conversion of the leaders of Russia and China, and all communist countries.

- For all people everywhere, especially Ukraine, caught in war-torn countries: may their fear and suffering soon give way to the peace and joy of the Lord.

In thanksgiving for the decision by our Supreme Court to overturn the unconstitutional decision of so many years ago that led to millions of lives lost, hearts broken, consciences darkened, and souls crushed. And help us now to cultivate a civilization of Life and Love. Amen!

The Rosary proper begins now!

You are invited to add your intentions anywhere along the thread if you are moved to do so.

God bless you.

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

Behold, He makes all things new!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for 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

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…. (3x)

(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.

We’ll be using some special intentions from the USCCB. These are optional (and they’re similar to the ones we were using from Pope St. John Paul II).
