I start with the Creed, finish with Hail Holy Queen and say the Fatima Prayer after the Glory Be. I also use the “Rosary Audio” app on Android to help with the mysteries.
 
So do I and I hate it, a lot, every single time I have to pray one decade of the Rosary for penance after going to Confession. My introduction to the Rosary was not that great as I have written in other posts. Love the Akathist hymn and prefer to pray, or I should say sing, it instead.
 
Don Stefano Gobbi was an Italian Priest who was on pilgrimage to Fatima on 8 May, 1972 , praying in the Chapel of Apparitions for priests who had given up their vocation, and were going into rebellion against the church.
He is said to have had an interior locution from Our Lady.
This began several decades of receiving alleged interior locutions from Our Lady to him, the last being on December 31, 1997. These were to be shared with Priests who met in the private prayer Cenacles. Don Gobbi travelled to many countries organising and leading the prayer cenacles. Our Lady urged Don Gobbi to form the Marian Movement of Priests. This is a private movement of clergy that spread throughout the world and counts Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and Laity in its ranks.
Don Gobbi met with St John Paul II privately annually, celebrated Mass with this saint and updated him on the movement’s activities.
The primary activity is cenacles of prayer where clergy gather to pray for the Church, clergy and the Pope.
All are consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady through prayer to her.

The alleged interior locutions are gathered in a book Don Gobbi wrote called
‘To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons.
Laity and clergy pray in the cenacles that sprang from this private Marion Movement of Priests.

The Book has been available and has imprimaturs and forwards from 2 Cardinals, and lots of photos of gatherings.
I know you pray for Priests , from your posts. You might be interested in this movement.

Note , until the Church has given its final judgement on mysticism, after death , during the canonization process, ‘alleged’ is the best term to use.

Your meme was an interior locution of Our Lady to Don Gobbi.

A question of curiosity: How do you pray the Rosary?
Click to expand...
I pray 7 decades (the Franciscan Crown), and omit many of the prayers prior to the first decade and in between.

I like your idea of dedicating a bead to a person, so many intentions can be included!
 
There’s been a lot of controversy about Fr. Gobbi and the Marian Movement of Priests, so buyer beware. Just sayin’.

Please read the EWTN link. There have been a lot of ill founded rumours.
Regardless, there have been many good fruits from this movement and it’s patronage is well founded in its purpose of praying for the Church and its apope and Priests.
 
Dominican rosary here (unless praying with other, non-Dominican)
 
The first prayer form I used when I got interested in the Church was the rosary. I dont pray it today.
It’s like they want me to pray it instead of the divine office (the version for the laity).
I did buy a book with icons and scripture readings. Sometimes I long for the feeling of some kinda prayerful innocence I experierenced back then. The rosary seems to be what some people want you to pray. But I want the Office. The psalms should be the focus. We really lost the psalm tradition.
