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.
O my Jesus, I offer this Rosary in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for the Holy Souls, for our nation in a time of turmoil & violence, for my Twitter family, & all who have no one to pray for them. 1/4
For our good and holy priests and bishops, that they be strengthened at this time of trial. And that those who have harmed others, and harmed and shamed Your Holy Church, will be brought to justice, and also be converted. 2/4
For those suffering from chronic or acute illness. For all in harm’s way from storms, fires or other dangers. For all suffering from addictions. For all victims of violence. For all who are lost, lonely, without friends or family. 3/4
We offer the intentions of all who posted in our intentions thread, Lord, and for all whose prayers are known only to themselves and to You. Help us to remember that here we have no lasting city, but we look to the one to come. 4/4
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…
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…
We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
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…
Thank you for praying the Rosary with me. Without Christ, suffering is only suffering. United to His Redemptive Suffering, ours gains meaning and purpose, helping us and others in the journey to God. I hope you'll join me again. God bless you and peace be with you.

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.
“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
