+JMJ+ Welcome to our live Rosary thread! Praying to cultivate a civilization of Light, Life, Love, Truth, Goodness & Beauty, for the conversion of sinners & the salvation of souls.

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

#CatholicTwitter #RosaryProject

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. Philip Romolo Neri, St. Eleutherius, pray for us!

I am worn out with crying, with longing for my God, alleluia.
—Antiphon

Save me, O God,
for the waters have risen to my neck.

I have sunk into the mud of the deep

and there is no foothold.
I have entered the waters of the deep

and the waves overwhelm me.

I needed food and they gave me gall; I was parched with thirst and they gave me vinegar, alleluia.—Antiphon
Save me from the waters of the deep
lest the waves overwhelm me.
Do not let the deep engulf me
nor death close its mouth on me.

Seek the Lord and you will live, alleluia. —Antiphon

As for me in my poverty and pain
let your help, O God, lift me up.

(…it is a commandment we have had from the start): let us love one another. This love involves our walking according to the commandments, and as you have heard from the beginning, the commandment is the way in which you should walk.
From the Second Letter of St. John

Canticle of Mary, the Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55

Rejoice, brothers. Strive for perfection; encourage one another. Live in harmony and peace,
— and the God of peace and love will be with you, alleluia.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace through your faith in him.

I’m keeping this group in our Rosary prayer intentions, a symptom of a much larger spiritual problem. Read this:

St. Philip Romolo Neri, St. Eleutherius, 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

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.
