Does anyone else have the Mysteries CD from Danielle Rose? She has beautiful scriptural songs for each mystery. I love her Luminous comtemplations to music.
I believe Our Lady would defer to the Pope on this one… Devotions can develop just as doctrines can. IMO, JPII was far too dedicated to Mary to do something that would be considered “Stepping in on her Parade”.I believe that when the Blessed Virgin Mary gave us the rosary, she gave us the COMPLETE rosary – otherwise past generations would have been exposed to and praying something that was incomplete and no EARTHLY person (even the Pope) should make changes to what was given from above. Instead, as others have said, I think the Luminous Mysteries should be considered a chaplet rather than add them to the actual rosary itself.
I like how the Luminous Mysteries ‘fill in the gaps’ in the prayful reflection on the Ministry of Christ. WIthout the Luminous Mysteries, it felt like the 18 year Hidden gap in Christ’s life.I believe Our Lady would defer to the Pope on this one… Devotions can develop just as doctrines can.

Her purpose: to lead us to her Son.
JP2’s purpose in promulgating the LMs: to lead us to her Son.
The Gospels are rich! Maybe we can someday get to seven sets of mysteries; no confusion about which one for which day.

It had to wait until JP II because past Popes had a little bit of respect for tradition. The Rosary was also known as the Psalter of Mary (150 Hail Mary’ to match the 150 Psalms) but now that doesn’t count because now there’s 200 Hail Mary’s.
Although I do like the mysteries, I do them as a chaplet rather than add them to the rosary.
I get stuck too on the 3rd mystery. I have to look it up every time. how I remember? Anyone got any suggestions?I like the Luminous Mysteries, but when i say them i always get stuck! I remember the first two (baptism, wedding at Cana) then i reach the third and i sit for a minute, try to think… get out the card with it on it then i am right… I get the fourth (transfiguration) but again when i reach the fifth i am stuck again… i guess thats the only think i dont like about it! Any ideas on how to work on it!?

Which makes about as much sense as saying “Lucy” is awfully close to “Lucifer.”Luminous
Too close to
Illuminati
Scares me.
I would rather it was promulgated as “The Chaplet of JPII” or similar. Not jerking loose a 600 yr old devotion.
If Fatima was incomplete, Lucy was incomplete, St Dominic was incomplete, Pius V on Lepanto Miracle was incomplete, I too am incomplete.
How’s that for logical bigotry?
To destroy a Religion, you must first sever its traditions…every last one of them.
