Another, more liberal...if that is the right word, friend of mine declared that the Luminous Mysteries weren't mandated but everything else was. Praying the Sorrowful mysteries was MANDATED during lent, as the Joyful during Advent is MANDATED.<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, nothing in the Rosary is "mandated". Praying the Sorrowful mysteries in Lent is a <I>tradition</I>. So just go ahead and do whatever feels right is my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Another thought is this...perhaps there is another devotion which brings you closer to God besides the Rosary? I could get pummeled for this...but if you've got something else, say a chaplet of some sort, the Divine Office perhaps, a set of prayers from a book...then why not?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256869599354039179noreply@blogger.com
