Dear Friends,

When praying the rosary for someone, do you still consider the mysteries along with praying the rosary? I want to pray a rosary for my beautiful cousin who is having a double mastectomy because of cancer and I want to make sure I’m praying correctly.

Love ya’ll lots,
Sheila is my real name and loving everyone is what I’m going to do.

Oh, also please pray for another person who was sent to the hospital because their house caught fire somewhere in Elm Mott also. That is the second house in my hometown. I don’t know what is going on. Thank you so much. Since seeing the first house, I’m loving everyone, yes indeed dee. (I’m from the Southwest) ❤️
 
I usually include my intentions and prayers in the prayers before the rosary

and then say the Rosary as Usual
 
I concentrate on the FRUITS of the mysteries when I pray the Rosary. catholicexchange.com/the-fruits-of-the-mysteries-of-the-rosary/
Today is Friday, so the fruits of the sorrowful mysteries are: sorrow for sin, purity, courage, carrying of the cross, perseverance. In my mind these are perfect fruits to pray for your ill friend to have. Pray that she has contrition for her own sins or that reparation will be made for others’s sins through her suffering, pray for her heart to be purified through this difficult time–that God will use it to perfect her into the image of His Son, pray for your friend to have courage and to not be fearful, knowing that she is in God’s hands, pray for her to unite her suffering with that of Jesus on the cross or that you and others will be able to help her carry her cross, and pray that your friend will persevere with Jesus to the end of her life–whether that be sooner (if God chooses not to cure her) or later (if God decides to heal her).

Thank you for that, it’s my first cousin that has cancer and your response is wonderful. I will use your suggestions for her and my own sake when I pray for my needs. I will say this, it scared me a little when you said sooner but sug, I know what ever God has in mind, we will know it’s for a reason and everything He does is for the best. Plus, we talked about that too. You’ll have to excuse me. I’m a little jittery. 🙂 And I really appreciate what you wrote.

Love,
Sheila
