Preparing to pray the Rosary: Think about your intentions, your purpose for this time of prayer. You can speak to the Lord from your heart, maybe use a prayerbook, the Bible, or use your own words. I’ll post the prayers of the Rosary next.
O my Jesus, I offer this Rosary
In reparation to the Sacred Heart,
for the Holy Souls, for my Twitter family,
for all who have no one to pray for them,
for healing of all victims of abuse everywhere,
for conversion of their abusers. Amen.
Apostles Creed (Pray for those who do not believe)
Our Father (Pray for the Holy Father)
Hail, Mary (x3) (Pray for an increase of Faith, Hope & Charity in our souls & in our world)
Glory Be
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, & our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning & weeping in this valley of tears…
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host…
O Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits us here. ]
Ever this night be at my side,
to light, to guard, to rule, and to guide.
Amen.
Preparing to pray the Holy Rosary: Think about your intentions, your purpose. You could use a prayerbook, the Bible, your own words, whatever helps you speak to the Lord from your heart. When you’re ready, we’ll begin.
“Stirred up by holy rage, you wrote of such [i.e., sodomitical] clerics according to your judgment; it is appropriate … that we intervene with our apostolic authority..."
--Pope St. Leo IX (r. 1049-1054), writing to St. Peter Damian
Almost a year before the Pope's announced revision of para. 2267 of the Catechism, @EWTN's @worldoverdc featured Profs. Edward #Feser & Joseph #Bessette discussing their book, By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed: A #Catholic Defense of #CapitalPunishment.
At about 9:08 (see above) @RaymondArroyo reads a letter about the death penalty, euthanasia, & abortion, and a discussion begins re guilt & innocence, prudential judgment, & teaching that must be adhered to. #DeathPenalty#Catholic
