+JMJ+ Welcome to tonight’s Live Twitter Rosary Thread where we will be praying for all those affected by the #Coronavirus & for an end to the madness all around us, too.

Jesus, King of Mercy, we trust in You.

The prayers at the end of our Live Twitter Rosary are optional, including the novena to Our Lady of Monte Berico. Say as many or as few as you like.

The next tweet will be an antiphon, Scripture verse, something to help us prepare to pray. Then I’ll post some general intentions. Feel free to add your own. At the top of the hour I’ll begin posting the Rosary itself in this thread.

Prepare to pray: Put away the news of the day. Speak to the Lord from your heart. Listen w the ear of your heart too.

Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Acts 2:21

May the Lord answer in time of trial;
may the name of Jacob’s God protect you. Ps 20

Today is the optional memorial of the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome.
