Learn to Pray the Rosary, TOC, annotated

I’ve shared a lot about the Rosary on the blog and on Twitter, about what it is and why to pray it, but not about how to pray it. Until now.

Part 1 or How I learned to pray the Rosary, introduction, basics, and basic prayers (the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be). Posted on May 8, 2023

Part 2. We’ll explore some more and pray one Mystery, the First Joyful Mystery, the Annunciation. Posted on May 15, 2023

Part 3. This week we’ll continue on our quest to learn to pray the Rosary and we’ll also look at some Rosary art along the way. Since it’s Monday as I write this, and we could all probably use something joyful here at the beginning of the work week, I’ve selected the Annunciation, the first of the Joyful Mysteries, for us.

Part 4. A look at the Second Joyful Mystery, the Visitation, will include some more artwork, and add a couple of other things. Posted on June 5, 2023.

Part 5: Focusing on the Third Joyful Mystery, the Nativity, will include some more artwork, and I’ll add a video or something. Posted on June 12, 2023.

Part 6: Exploring and praying the Fourth Joyful Mystery, the Presentation. We’re going to pray the opening prayers this time, adding the Apostles’ Creed and announce the Mysteries and the Fruits of the Mysteries, and do it up proper. I’ll add images, a very brief video, and a bit of a ramble by yours truly, with a couple of quotes by people who know way more than I do. Posted on June 19, 2023.

Part 7: Looking at the Fifth Joyful Mystery, the Finding in the Temple, also known as Christ Among the Doctors and the Disputation. Contains the Mystery, some pieces of art, and a bit of reflecting on them and the relevant Scripture passage from Luke’s Gospel. Posted on June 26, 2023.
