A Special Rosary For the Immaculate Heart of Mary
This morning while praying Morning Prayer with Magnificat, I was inspired by the Prayers for Intercession to put a special Rosary together. Since I was praying the rosary privately, I figured it was OK to do this.
I am sure I am not the first or only one to do this, but I will share it here for your prayer use as well. The links on the name of the decade will lead you to related Scripture.
The fact that there is one decade from each of the five Mysteries is purely the work of Divine Providence.

First Decade: In Honor of Mary at Bethlehem~ The Birth of Jesus
