Title: The Traditional Rosary in Advent
Post by: Miseremini on November 30, 2012, 05:21:00 PM

I guess this is the way the saints between 1800 and 1961 prayed the Rosary

Advent starts in 2 days maybe try it

ROSARY (Taken from the 1858 Raccolta Pg 555 and the 1961 Ideal Missal Pg 49)
Joyful Mysteries Monday & Thursdays throughout the year: and
                        DAILY FROM THE 1st SUNDAY OF ADVENT until the
                        feast of the Purification (Feb 2nd)
Sorrowful Mysteries Tuesdays & Fridays throughout the year and
                        DAILY  FROM ASH WEDNESDAY until Easter Sunday
Glorious Mysteries Wednesdays & Saturdays & Sundays throughout the year and
                          DAILY FROM EASTER SUNDAY TO TRINITY SUNDAY
This was the custom until 1961.  How much more sense this makes to
follow the church calendar.  No more trying to meditate on Glorious or
Joyful mysteries during Lent or Sorrowful after Easter etc.  I restarted this
a few years ago and found it profoundly more devotional.
