Did she say to only pray the fifteen mysteries, and that if there should be any new mysteries in the future to completely ignore them and deem them devoid of use?

Sorry but Fr is going to have to do better than that, like for example provide some authority for his statements. Perhaps he should also in the interests of intellectual honesty point out that the Holy Father did not make the luminous mysteries compulsory, -indeed it is questionable whether he could do so-, and therefore his point about the popes authority is moot.

To say that he could not do this is to undermine the Pope’s authority and power as the Supreme Pontiff. He cannot do all that he wishes, but he does have the power to do this. You must’ve missed it when I mentioned that Pope’s have added to the Rosary for centuries, meaning the Rosary you recite is not the same exact Rosary Saint Dominic recited.

A claim you have yet to substantiate…

either way the luminous mystery’s are optional and they weren’t aded to the Rosary the Rosary is the fifteen original mystery’s and it breaks tradition if the 15 mystery’s were good enough for St. Dominic and St. Louis de Montefort then there good enough for me and who are we as people to Change Our Lady’s Psalter

I try to say it everyday, but if nobody is going to say it with me or if I’ve missed it on EWTN at 8:30 or 10:30 (I refuse to do the 2:30 one since the people drive me nuts) I lose all of my motivation to do it. I’m simply not a self-starter, and I never want to do it alone. It always takes me about half an hour since I’m used to saying it with the Nuns and automatically say it at that pace, and when I think of that time-frame I think “It’s just going to take so long…” I love to say the Rosary, but nothing motivates me. Is there anything that can motivate me? I’ve read all of Mary’s promises for those who say the Rosary, and that always motivates me to do it, but with other people. I suppose it’s been decided I could never be a Hermit? 😃

What motivates me is the need to pray for my adult children, particularly those who have strayed as well as family and friends who are in need of prayers. Also, I need to exercise, and exercising can be very difficult for me, but I can get through the 20-25 minutes on the eliptical or going for a long walk while I am praying my rosary. The ring rosary works well for me when exercising.
But here is some more reading that may help to get you motivated:

ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAEOF THE SUPREME PONTIFFJOHN PAUL IITO THE BISHOPS, CLERGYAND FAITHFULON THE MOST HOLY ROSARY
 
I don’t understand the issue with the “luminous mystery’s”. I realize no-one made this manditory to meditate on. However why would this be such a ball and chain should you actually be praying the Rosary Daily?

Let me put this in perspective. I know many who were praying the Rosary “before” these were added by the Pope. To ask an elder in the twilight years of life who has recited the Rosary for most of their life is a bit of a stretch. Here I get it. Yet if you are basically begining the journey with Our Lady what is the harm?

Let me ask a different Rosary question. There are 15-promise’s of the Rosary which some seem to have a difficult time with. For those who have truly prayed the Rosary daily for a year or two, or more. What do you say about Signal Graces? Do you think Our Lady will will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies?

Grace and Peace

If you sincerely meditate on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary and make a habit of saying it devoutly, you will see Our Lady’s promises work wonders in your life, no question. But you must be devout. Our Lady’s Rosary is a powerful weapon to wield against evil, heresies, doubts, and all forms of evil attacks. I thank Jesus for giving us such a wonderful Mother. I recommend you read St. Louis de Montfort’s book the “Secret of the Rosary” to learn how to say the rosary devoutly. It is an excellent read. Read it slowly or if you read it fast, read it more than once.

God bless you!

Agree’d You have seen the truth.

Grace and Peace
 
That the rosary has given my spirituality strength? Yes it has. Falling asleep praying the rosary? No, but then again…i don`t put myself in that situation.

Our Lady and the Lord truly deserves honest and true devotion. I know that some people do pray the rosary before sleep or in bed, but that is another issue. A good one i say.

I gave you a link. If you chose not to click on the link than it is your own fault.

Have you joined XT3 to check out the link Father gave me yet?

Why would someone join a site just to see a reference? Ha ha.

Because I asked a Priest whether the Luminous Mysteries were illegitimate, and he told me to give him this link. If he chooses not to do what a Priest has recommended, than he’s not half the traditionalist he says he is. A traditionalist respects a Priest no matter what, and always takes good advice from him. This is a good link that will help him realize the beauty of the Luminous Mysteries. If he’s thickheaded and doesn’t want to change his mind about them that’s his own fault.

Seriously?

So if someone online does not listen to another online person who says a priest told him to check out a link, by registering on a site. he is not a traditionalist?

I think that’s a strange statement.

I too would like to read, because I love learning, but I don’t join sites that easily and certainly not just to see an article.

But it’s possible JMJ may have registered. I’m just sayin’.
