+JMJ+ Welcome to our Live Twitter Rosary Thread, 🙏🏻 to cultivate a civilization of Life & Love, & to END the culture of death.

“The ROSARY is the ‘WEAPON’ for THESE TIMES.”
— Padre Pio

Joyful Mysteries tonight, cuz, you know, I can. ;) #Advent

#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.

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

Announcing the winner of the Advent Giveaway 2022 at about 8pm CT, after the Rosary, stay tuned to my profile page or the blog for that. :)

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. Juan Diego, pray for us!

We must endure many trials before entering God’s kingdom.

See Acts 14:21-22.

Lord Jesus Christ, you have prepared a quiet place for us in your Father’s eternal home. Watch over our welfare on this perilous journey, shade us from the burning heat of day, and keep our lives free of evil until the end.

In the Lord’s eyes, one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years are as a day. The Lord does not delay in keeping his promise, though some consider it “delay.” Rather, he shows you generous patience, since he wants none to perish but all to come to repentance.

The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.

2 Peter 3:8-9 Douay-Rheins Bible

Come and set us free, Lord God of power and might.
— Come and set us free, Lord God of power and might.

Let your face shine upon us and we shall be saved,
— Lord God of power and might.

Glory to …
— Come and set us free, Lord God of power and might.

And Mary said:
My soul exalts the Lord…

The Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55, Douay-Rheims Bible

Some intentions follow. Feel free to add your own to the thread, too.

Please keep all members of our Twitter family in your prayers. (There are so many & I feel like I leave out too many each week.) Please pray for them (us) all!

In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,

Amen.

St. Juan Diego, pray for us!

Amen.

St. Juan Diego, 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.)

Adding an intention here, my best friend's father had surgery. Please keep him in your prayers.

(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.
