Praying the rosary

Do you think there will be a fifth set of the rosary

Like for example

St Pope John 2 added the luminous mysteries which is the 4th set if mysteries
Do you think there will be a fifth one day?

 

I only pray the traditional rosary with the three mysteries.

I don't think there will be a fifth. And wish Pope John Paul II hadn't introduced the fourth but I'm old fashioned. I stick with tradition and the one revealed by our Lady.

 

I find that very interesting. I attend a TLM parish but do pray the luminous mysteries on Thursdays.
Was the Rosary with the three mysteries revealed by our Lady Herself?

 

Its a personal choice for me to pray only three every day.

If I am not mistaken, an Angel appeared to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta in Fatima and taught them how to pray the Rosary. I only pray three mysteries because that is how I was taught to pray It.

 

Me too. Only the 3. :"Five for Sorrow 10 for Joy"
Nothing against meditating on the mysteries introduced by JPII but they are a separate prayer.

 

Me too.

 

Thank you, this is very informative. I pray the joyful mysteries on Mondays and Saturdays, the sorrowful on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the glorious on Wednesdays and Sundays. On which days do you pray the relevant mysteries?

 

I pray two whole traditional rosaries every day.

 

As a family... well, with the youngsters... I've been saying the rosary in the evenings for maybe 12 - 15 years. We always said the joyful mysteries only.
I believe it's helped my kids immensely. In many, many ways.

I've been saying the 7 sorrows (Dolours) rosary - personally, for 10 or maybe 12 years now.
I highly recommend it to everyone.
It carries a number of promises.
But chief among them is that Our Lady - promises - to intervene at the moment of death, staving the hand of her Son in His judgement. And taking those who honour her in this manner, directly to heaven - as long as they strive for holiness to n life also.
So, I'm sorted!
Well, just let me clarify.. I don't go around shouting it from the rooftops - in fact, I often forget or, it does not register.
But, in times of worldly strife, I try to remind myself that I'm okay.... That there's no issue that should perturb me, as my salvation is guaranteed. I have total and absolute faith in this.
(Now, let me just say, it is often a struggle to get it done daily, and a fixed (or stubborn) mindset is sometimes required.
"Luckily", I'm a stubborn pain in the Beeswax!

 

I'm not familiar with the 7 Sorrows Rosary. Is this the one? https://ourladysorrows.com/rosary/
If so, do you use ordinary Rosary beads or have you the special beads described in the link?

Think I might start praying it, maybe once or twice a week until I get used to it.

 

Mon/Thurs Joyful
Tues/Fri Sorrowful
Wed/Sat/Sun Glorious

Except during Advent/Christmas, when we do Joyful on Sundays, and Lent, when we do Sorrowful on Sundays.

We do pray the Luminous mysteries on occasion. I don't consider them a part of the traditional rosary, but they are worthy mysteries on which to meditate. I especially love meditating on the Wedding at Cana.

 

What a beautiful link for the seven sorrows rosary. You can also get them by typing in online seven sorrows rosary. There is a special rosary but I just used my regular one today because I just couldn’t find mine. I guess I’ll have to get another. It’s likely in a pocket somewhere. Lol

 

Good to know that it's the correct Rosary. Thank you. I have ordered the beads from a seller on Etsy. The seller is in Bosnia so it should take a week or two for the beads to get here.

 

Yep. That's it Maria.
There are actually a number of promises associated with it - from both Mary and Jesus himself.
Well worth looking these up.

 

Thanks Jack. Will read up on it while I'm waiting for the beads to arrive. I know it's stupid wanting to have the correct beads but I reckon they will help me concentrate on the prayers rather than on keeping track of the number of prayers.

 

Oh, you asked about the beads Maria.. Tbh I just pray it whenever I can - be it driving, walking, whatever and wherever really.. I rarely use beads.
If you're going to say it everyday, you will probably often not have opportunity to use beads. You're more than likely to say it in those quiet moments we sometimes find ourselves in - like driving to work and suchlike.

 

I prayed this Rosary tonight. It is a wonderful Rosary - about an hour long. Towards the end there is a reflection concerning any of us who might have a mother wound. Mary our Mother is a wonderful Mother and heals such wounds perfectly.

I think we can all benefit from the exhortation in this Rosary to contemplate on this statement by Jesus on the Cross: "Behold your Mother".

At the end is read an excerpt from Fr. Gobbi's Blue book - message 523.

523. MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH
(JUNE 30, 1994)
Valdragone di San Marino,
Spiritual Exercises in the Form of a Cenacle with 25 Bishops and 250 Priests of the M.M.P. from Europe, America, Asia and Oceania
"Never have you come in such great numbers from every part of the world, bishops and priests of my Movement, and you are up here on this mountain for a week of a continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity. You have come, drawn by the voice of your heavenly Mother.
I have called you up here. During these days, I am constantly close to each one of you. I unite myself with your prayer. I deepen the bond of your fraternal relationship. I obtain for you the gift of the Holy Spirit, who works profoundly in your life and who brings you to a transformation of heart.
How much comfort you give to your heavenly Mother! In you my Heart Is glorified because, by means of you, I am able to bring about the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world, as I have announced to you at Fatima.
My Immaculate Heart will Triumph over this ailing and materialistic humanity, bent on the mad search for pleasure and comfort, which has built a new civilization without God and has again become pagan, after almost two thousand years since the first announcing of the Gospel.
Go and preach the necessity of penance and conversion, of return to the Lord along the way of prayer and repentance, of renunciation of Satan and all his wiles, of evil and the tyranny of the passions.
Let this humanity return, like the prodigal son, into the arms of the Heavenly Father, who awaits it with love, so that a new, profound and universal reconciliation may be thus achieved between God and humanity.
It is you who must be the instruments of this general return. It is you who must be the apostles of this second evangelization, so strongly requested by my Pope. Thus, by means of you, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
- My Immaculate Heart will Triumph over this, my suffering and divided Church, tom by the evil spirits and possessed, in an increasingly powerful way, by the dark power of Freemasonry. Because of this, errors are being spread about in it, and these are often being taught, spread and accepted midst general apathy and indifference. The lack of faith is spreading. Sins are committed and justified. The ministers of the sanctuary languish in lukewarmness and indifference and are dissipating the treasures which the Lord has put into their hands.
How this most beloved Daughter of mine is suffering! How few are those who listen to the voice of your heavenly Mother and follow it. And these encounter difficulty, misunderstanding, and persecution, often on the part of their own confreres.
It is you who must be the instruments of the interior renewal of all the church, you who are called to be the new heart of the new Church, purified, enlightened and sanctified.
For this reason I invite you to be today courageous apostles of faith and unity, of holiness and love. Bend down with me to soothe its great pain, to place balm and comfort on its many open and bleeding wounds. In this way you become for it today expressions of my motherly tenderness and, by means of you, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
- My Immaculate Heart will Triumph over all my poor children, who are carrying the cross of the unspeakable sufferings of these last times of the purification and the great tribulation. How many are those who are far away! How numerous are the victims of my Adversary, who has established in the world today the summit of his diabolical power.
Take by the hand those children who have been set on the road to precocious experiences of evil. Support the youth who have been ensnared and seduced by false values which have been proposed to them and who are succumbing under the weight of sins, of impurity and of drugs. Help Christian families to live as little communities of grace and prayer, of communion and love, and snatch them away from the grave danger of division and divorce, of recourse to the means of impeding life, and of the abortions which are increasing in every part of the world.
Go in search of the little sheep, straying along all the roadways of the world. Convert sinners, support the wavering, lead the wandering, heal the sick, comfort the dying. To all, give the grace and the love, the salvation and the life which my Son Jesus has given to you through his passion and death on the Cross.
Thus you become instruments of salvation for all, in these last times, when everything about which I foretold you must be accomplished. In this way, by means of you my Immaculate Heart will, in the end, triumph.
Go out from this cenacle with serenity and joy. I have granted to all the grace of a change of heart and a transformation of life. No one is leaving this cenacle the same as they entered.
I am the Mother of grace and of purity, of love and of hope, of joy and of peace. Leave in peace and become, in every part of the world, the instruments of my peace. I am with you and I will cause you to feel my motherly presence in an extraordinary way.
With your dear ones, and with the persons who are entrusted to you, I bless you all in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

At the end one of the sisters makes the point that while these messages were for the priests of the Marian Movement of Priests, they apply to us all.

 

Thank you for the link. I never realized this about the 3 rosaries' mysteries.

Mary revealed to St. Dominic which mysteries should be preached to correspond to the Psalter prayers: stories of Christ’s life which directly contradicted the heresy of the Albigensians by focusing on the incarnation, death, and triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 

I believe St. Pope JPII had a mystical relationship with Our Blessed Mother, so I do pray the Luminous Mysteries.
