+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.

The Rosary Thread links are archived on the blog at

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.

St. Nereus & St. Achilleus & St. Pancras, pray for us!

Lord Jesus, healer of soul and body, You said: Blessed are the merciful, they will obtain mercy. Teach us to come to the aid of the needy in a spirit of brotherly love, that we in turn may be received and strengthened by you.

Antiphon: Christ became poor for our sake, that we might become rich, alleluia.

God is for us a refuge and strength,
a helper close at hand, in time of distress,
so we shall not fear though the earth should rock,
though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea;
even though its waters rage and foam,
even though the mountains be shaken by its waves.

The waters of a river give joy to God’s city,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within, it cannot be shaken;
God will help it at the dawning of the day.
Nations are in tumult, kingdoms are shaken:
he lifts his voice, the earth shrinks away.

Antiphon: The streams of the river gladden the city of God, alleluia.

Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Let us praise him, and say:
Son of the living God, bless your people.

Canticle of Mary, the Magnificat: The soul rejoices in the Lord

Luke 1:46-55

Please pray for Christians in Nigeria. The violence against them there is horrible.

Re persecution of Christians around the world:

May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life.

Glory be to the Father & to the Son and to the Holy Spirit…

St. Nereus & St. Achilleus & St. Pancras, pray for us!

and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

St. Nereus & St. Achilleus & St. Pancras, 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.
