Can you make prayer intentions throughout the day, and ask for them cuмulatively during your rosary at the end of the day?

For example, I just read about the passing of the member Mary Vogel (RIP), aka, Trinity, but want to include her in my Rosary later on today, and I know there are a few other things I will see through the day which I intend to include in my Rosary intentions as well, will a short prayer, made at that very moment, suffice as an intention for my Rosary later in the day if I forget it? Sometimes I want to include things in my Rosary intentions, but I may forget them. Does this make sense?

Morning Offering, and evening prayer for Neglects are good.

May Christ have mercy on Mary Vogel's soul, and may the Mother of Sorrows pray for her family.

Thanks for your prayer intentions, SRea.

I believe so.

I offer things in advance pretty often. Like illness. Sometimes when actually sick we just don't have the wherewithal to offer it, so I offer these things in advance when I think of it. My grandmother had alzeihmers and in the beginning during her more lucid moments she offered what was to come, knowing she would not have the ability to do so when things got worse.

It's probably better for you to remember during the rosary too but I can't see how offering it in advance in case you forget would do anything but good.

I don't see any reason you could not.

Can he just say:" Lord please grant me things for which I wanted to pray" ? Or "please give me things that I have just forgotten."
Rather vague and general but maybe it can work. Doesn't it?

Ezechiel (Ezeckiel) 11:5 found 2
And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.

I make my intentions throughout the day, because I am both mindus abscentius ( :dancing: HAHA!!!) and often too busy being wife and mom to stop to think in one sitting.

God knows and hears. It would not be the same in a group Rosary, for obvious reasons.

Drat! I wanted a better passage, but in my haste, I felt this one at least demonstrated that God knows our hearts.

I always say my fifth decade for "all the other intentions for which I ought to pray." A priest suggested doing that, when I told him I was concerned that I was promising to pray for lots of intentions, and then forgetting many of them.
