+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.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! (First Friday)

St Marcellinus & St Peter, pray for us!

Day after day I will bless you, Lord. I will tell of your marvelous deeds.
—Antiphon

Let us pray to Christ, the source of hope for all who know his name:
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, our frail humanity is prone to fall,
— strengthen us through your help.
Lord, have mercy.

Left to itself, our nature is inclined to sin,
— let your love always restore it to grace.
Lord, have mercy.

Lord, sin offends you, repentance pleases you,
— do not punish us in your wrath even when we have sinned.
Lord, have mercy.

You forgave the penitent woman, and placed the wandering sheep on your shoulders,
— do not deprive us of your mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

By your death on the cross you opened the gates of heaven,
— admit into your kingdom all who hoped in you.
Lord, have mercy.

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.
Lord, have mercy on us.

The Magnificat, Luke 1:46-55, DRB, public domain.

Remember your mercy, Lord, the promise of mercy you made to our fathers.

Intentions:

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

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.

The Rosary proper begins at the top of the hour. I hope you’ll join me.

and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! St Marcellinus & St Peter, 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

The Our 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

(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.
