Praying the Rosary with a group, I heard instructions read after each decade of the Glorious mysteries was announced. I believe these are instructions from Mary. Does anyone know the history of these instructions?

For example, after the Second decade, The Ascension, the following instruction was read:

“My children, learn from this mystery: learn that Jesus is Lord of Heaven and earth and all authority belongs to Him. There is no authority permitted without my Son’s consent. Pray for those in authority: for government leaders that they be submissive to the authority of Jesus. Pray for missionaries: that they will be faithful in teaching the gospel of Jesus and will teach people the means of salvation. Pray for holy patience: pray that you will wait upon the Lord and wait till He tells you what to do and when to do it. Be disposed to listen to the voice of God and to obey the voice of God. My children, finally be alert in prayer and be united in prayer: prayer is the means that God wishes to use to bring the Church together. I am among you even now in prayer asking the Lord to bless you.”
 
It appears to have originated with the Hungarian mystic Elizabeth Kindlemann (1913-1985).
 
Many pious prayers are often “added” to the rosary prayers.
If the sources are good, they are harmless. I’ve known people to just make up a prayer on the spot, as a type of reflection on the mystery. It’s a private devotion.
When praying aloud with a group in public though, our rosary group prefers to stick to the basics and so that people are comfortable and pray as one voice.
