praying the Rosary | Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary
Amanda Woodiel offers a list of prayer intentions for families to use while praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.
As you pray this Intentional Rosary, you may use a litany format where the leader reads the first part of each intention and the rest of the family responds with the second part, or the leader may pray the whole intention and then begin the Hail Mary.
