+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. Blaise, pray for us!

Ps 145
The Lord is faithful in all his words
, loving in all his deeds.
The Lord supports all who fall
& raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all creatures look to You
.You give them their food in due time. You open wide your hand,
grant the desires of all who live
The Lord is just in all his ways,
loving in all his deeds.
He is close to all […]
who call on him from their hearts.
He grants the desires of those who fear him,
he hears their cry & saves them.
The Lord protects all who love him;
but the wicked he will utterly destroy.
Let me speak the praise of the Lord,
let all peoples bless his holy name
for ever, for ages unending.
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.
Lord, be near to all who call upon You in truth & increase the dedication of those who revere You. Hear their prayers & save them that they may always love You & praise your Holy Name.
Ant. To You alone, Lord, we look w/ confidence; You are ever close to those who call upon You.
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…
Lk 1: 46-55, DRB public domain
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.

@ArkhamB @PrayTheRosary12 @JDVance1 People have written books about these things going back to Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, showing how the New Testament was written using typology & how to read it now. In the next replies I will list some talks, videos, articles & books that will provide in depth answers.
