+JMJ+ Welcome to our live Rosary thread! We pray to cultivate a civilization of Life & Love, and to shine His Light into the darkness of this world.

The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times. -Padre Pio

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.

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.

Saint Angelus of Jerusalem and Bl. Caterina Cittadini, pray for us!

Let us praise Christ, the source of all life & the foundation of all virtue:
Lord, establish your kingdom in the world.
Jesus our Savior, you died in your human nature but were restored to life by the Spirit,
— make us die to sin, & live by the Spirit.

You sent your disciples into the whole world to preach the Gospel to every creature,
— inspire those who preach the Gospel to live by your Spirit.

All power in heaven & on earth has been given to you, to bear witness to the truth,
— keep the hearts of those who govern us faithful to the truth.

You make all things new, & command us to wait & watch for your kingdom,
— grant that the more we look forward to a new heaven & a new earth, the more we may seek to better this present world.
'

You went down among the dead to bring them the good news of the Gospel,
— be the great joy & hope of all the dead.

The Good Shepherd laid down his life for his sheep, alleluia.

Antiphon

Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!
From famine and war, deliver us…

The Rosary proper begins 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.

Saint Angelus of Jerusalem and Bl. Caterina Cittadini, 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.
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.
