Title: Suggestion: Group Rosary
Post by: Vetus Ordo on November 03, 2017, 02:35:32 PM
I was thinking we could establish a custom of saying a group rosary once a week. It was an experience we were able to do in FE chat a long time ago (and only once) but it worked well.

We could use the forum chat for that purpose. It's a platform that already exists.

We could schedule it every Friday evening, for instance. At a set hour to be defined. Someone would be in charge of leading the group and those of us who would be interested would log in at that time and join in. Just like a small virtual parish. We could even share the responsabilities among a few. One week such and such would be responsible to lead the prayer, another week another person and so forth. We could even publish the prayers here so no-one would feel lost.

Please, share your thoughts and tell me what you think of it.

We need to establish a day of the week and a fixed time.

I suggest Friday. As for the hour itself, it would be best to find an intermediate time that would be convenient to most people.

Great idea. Count me in. I think Saturday may be better though, since that is the day devoted to the Immaculate Heart of our Mother. We could of course do it on more than one day. Yes to publishing it on the forum beside chat as well. We really need a Rosary crusading army to win the world for Christ our King again.

Pope Pius IX said, "Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world ... If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors."

Friday would not work for me, unless it was from 1-5pm Central American Time.  (I have Low Mass at 630p Central). 

Is this a video chat or an IRC chat (chat room) type of rosary? 

I do, however, fully support this endeavor.

oh, oh count me in too!! I can lead the Rosary recitation in Latin!! (*enthusiastically waves hand in the air*)

although, I admit - I am uncomfortable using the IRC interface of the forum's chat function ... not sure if we can create a Skype/WhatsApp group for the rosary recitation ... otherwise, just open up a new thread & post live updates. :P

(Also, because I'm a Singaporean living in Singapore, the time zone is entirely different from all of ye brethren living on the other side of the glode. If it's daytime there, it's night-time here. If it's night-time there, it's daytime here. lol.)

Okay, Saturday might be better for everyone. It's usually a day off.

We'll have to submit a poll with a few hours to chose from and the majority vote will decide. Keep in mind that not all members live in the US, though.

I was thinking of using the IRC chat already available here at the forum website because it's easier, simpler and faster for everyone. Setting up Skype videochats and the like is not as simple, not everyone has webcams, etc.

So, you're in?
Yes. We are a family - reciting the rosary together is powerful.

Regarding a poll to establish day/time, may I suggest offering all days of the week and various time frames?  Just one example, while I'm continental N. America/EST, early morning may work to incorporate other time zones.  I presume majority will prevail.

Lastly, can we establish a set format beforehand?  We all know there can be many ad hoc prayers before and after the rosary, particular to each family/culture.  (This may entail another poll.)

other thoughts
-  are we using the method of St. Louis de Montfort?
-  what prayers do we recite following?
-  how meditative/lengthy should the intro to each mystery be? Scripture readings?  or, again, St. L de M style of stating the virtue and grace sought?

IMHO it would be good to keep it efficient, with a set intention (IHM of course, and SD family?) and stick to basics. If it gets too lengthy or "personal", it could discourage some. 
FWIW  :)

I'm afraid it's too ambitious for the time being. Let's stick with one day of the week first (Saturday). If it works for a long period of time, let's say a year, we can think of incorporating other days. It has to be constant and people have to show long term interest in it. So, let's start simple.

Quote from: PerEvangelicaDicta on November 04, 2017, 09:36:58 AMLastly, can we establish a set format beforehand?

Yes, it is indispensable that we establish a set format because, despite being a private devotion, it will be a public prayer of a group. There are many regional variances when praying the rosary so I'd suggest to follow a simple format, said in Latin. I'll submit one later. Once we agree to the format, including the meditation on the mysteries (in this case, the glorious mysteries since it will fall on Saturdays), we can publish a definite sticky thread for the benefit of all who wish to participate.

There are two reasons to opt for Latin for this public rosary. The first and the most obvious one, would be that not all members of SD have English as their mother tongue and since Latin is the holy language of the Church, it serves as a common bond between us as we pray together. The second one, and not least important, is that Latin is traditionally considered to be more powerful against the Devil. Not in and of itself, as a magic trick, but on account of the holiness conferred upon it for being the Church's language and the language of exorcisms.

For those who can't personally pray in Latin, they accompany the prayers in their own tongue. But the one leading the rosary, should say it in Latin. I'll add more thoughts later on.

Please, chime in all of you.

This either requires a poll for what time people would be available or someone to start it regardless for those who are willing to commit to that time chosen.

That being said, as things are now, Saturday is a fine day. Release the poll

I'll use the forum's default time as a reference for the poll options. The forum default time, I believe, is the standard American Eastern Time Zone.

Post by: Non Nobis on November 04, 2017, 03:45:57 PM
I am not too familiar with chat with multiple people.  (I think I chatted here only once when Trump was being elected!).  Does the leader type in the start of the prayer and the others respond just at home (or  internally)? Is it a problem to use copy and paste if you type slow and are afraid of typos (and a little hesitant with the Latin, shame on me)?

I'm not sure I would want to make an absolute commitment, but I would like to try it out and join in at least sometimes.  I probably wouldn't lead. I'll vote.

(Saturday is good)
Title: Re: Suggestion: Group Rosary
Post by: dymphna17 on November 04, 2017, 09:13:20 PM
I remember doing this at least a couple of times at FE.  Quis typed "Ave" and "Pater noster" with everyone typing "Amen" when they were done.

Here's a suggestion that might be advantageous:

Quote
It would not be a bad idea, in my opinion, that someone (the leader) say "Ave", a second designated person say "Sancta", and a third say the "Amen". I say that because, in group rosaries I've been to, only the leader says the first half of the Ave, while the rest say the second half. And, a string of

Leader: Ave
P1: Sancta
P2: Amen.

is somewhat less monotonous than a string of "Ave"s and "Amen"s. Also, the leader should use one color and the other two designated persons another, less conspicuous one...

But hope you will remember me during your prayers and in turn you will have someone to pray for you while you sleep. Think thats a fair enough deal.

13 votes so far, with the 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM options being the most voted.

I guess I can make a final poll with just these two options, so it can be definitely settled to the convenience of the majority.
Title: Re: Suggestion: Group Rosary
Post by: Vetus Ordo on November 06, 2017, 01:14:26 PM
Here's the simple format I submit to you to be adopted for this group rosary. Any inputs will be appreciated. As Dymphna suggested earlier, the person leading the prayer (V.) types the first and last words of the prayer he's saying, highlighted in maroon, except for the sign of the cross and the enunciation of the mystery at the beginning of each decade which will be typed in full. The second person (R.) will do the same. It is desirable that the person leading is a male whenever possible. The prayers will be divided in half so it won't be as monotonous for those following it on the screen. For instance, in any given "Hail Mary", it will look like this on the chat log:

QuoteV. Ave. (...) Jesus.
R. Sancta. (...) Amen.

INITIUM:

V. Domine, tibi offerimus per intercessionem Beatæ Mariæ semper Virginis, matris nostræ, hoc rosarium ad exaltationem sanctæ matris Ecclesiæ, ad conversionem peccatorum et ad intentiones sanctificationemque hujus fori membrorum.

Ad crucem:

V. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
R. Amen.

V. Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Filium ejus unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus, descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad cælos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam æternam.
R. Amen.

Ad granum majus:

V. Pater noster qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
R. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Ad tria grana minora:

V. Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
R. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.

DECAS PRIMA:

V. Primum mysterium gloriosum: Qui resurrexit a mortuis. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Primum mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis sanguinem sudavit.

Ad granum majus: Pater noster.
Ad decem grana minora: Ave Maria.

V. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
R. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
V. O Maria sine labe concepta.
R. Ora pro nobis, qui ad te confugimus.
V. O mi Jesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, libera nos ab igne inferni.
R. Conduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim illas quae maxime indigent misericordia tua.

DECAS SECUNDA:

V. Secundum mysterium gloriosum: Qui in cælum ascendit. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Secundum mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis flagellatus est.

(Idem)

DECAS TERTIA:

V. Tertium mysterium gloriosum: Qui Spiritum Sanctum misit. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Tertium mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis spinis coronatus est.

(Idem)

DECAS QUARTA:

V. Quartum mysterium gloriosum: Qui te assumpsit. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Quartum mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis crucem bajulavit.

(Idem)

DECAS QUINTA:

V. Quintum mysterium gloriosum: Qui te in cælis coronavit. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Quintum mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis crucifixus est.

(Idem)

ORATIONES AD FINEM ROSARII DICENDÆ:

Ad tria grana minora in honorem castitatis Beatæ Mariæ semper Virginis:

V. Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
R. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.

Ad granum majus:

V. Salve Regina, mater misericordiæ, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
R. Amen.
V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

V. Oremus. Deus, cujus Unigenitus per vitam, mortem et resurrectionem suam nobis salutis æternæ præmia comparavit, concede, quæsumus: ut hæc mysteria sacratissimo beatæ Mariæ Virginis Rosario recolentes, et imitemur quod continent, et quod promittunt assequamur. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum.
R. Amen.

Ad crucem:

V. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
R. Amen.

I guess we could add an Act of Contrition or a Confiteor at the beginning after the intention.

What do you think? It's your call.

I also thought of adding the Litany of Loreto in the end, after the rosary itself, since it's customary here to say it but it might be too ambitious for the time being.

I should clarify that in the beginning, when stating the intention of offering the rosary for the intentions and sanctification of the members of this forum ("ad intentiones sanctificationemque hujus fori membrorum"), we are including all the intentions explicit in the prayer intentions subforum, besides any personal intentions those praying the rosary might mentally formulate for themselves.

Once we establish the time, can you put the format and all the information in a sticky post?

By the way, if anyone is up for it this evening, we could try it out. We just need two people. At 8 PM for instance.

One way you could handle it is by posting what you have prayed on the forum, and then the next person can leave a post of a similar nature. ie,

"Creed prayed."

"First decade prayed."

etc.

With some pre-planning, you could have the person beginning each Rosary and/or the first decade be male.

My apologies if I'm covering ground that's already been covered.

Anyone who's online, feel free to join.

There were 6 people in our first SD Group Rosary.

I think the format worked pretty well. It was smooth. Let's hope we can continue this joint prayer for the foreseeable future.

I'll submit the definite format so Käsekopf can make it a sticky.

Here's the simple format I submit to you to be adopted for this group rosary. It is to be made into a sticky thread for the benefit of all wishing to consult the order of the prayers. As Dymphna suggested earlier, the person leading the prayer (V.) types the first and last words of the prayer he's saying, highlighted in maroon, except for the sign of the cross, the naming of the intention, the enunciation of the mystery at the beginning of each decade and the final prayer which will be typed in full. The second person (R.) will do the same. It is desirable that the person leading is a male whenever possible. The prayers will be divided in half so it won't be as monotonous for those following it on the screen. For instance, in any given "Hail Mary", it will look like this on the chat log:

QuoteV. Ave. (...) Jesus.
R. Sancta. (...) Amen.

The Group Rosary will take place in the forum chat every Saturday evening at 8PM and 10PM (Forum Default Time - Eastern Time). Those who voted for the 8PM time slot will gather at that time to pray the Rosary together and those who voted for the 10PM time slot will, naturally, gather at that respective hour. Of course, everyone is free to join at any of those hours, praying both Rosaries if deemed spiritually convenient. The minimum people required for any Group Rosary is two: one to lead and another one to type the responses. In order to fulfill the minimum required, a toleration of 5 to 10 minutes maximum shall be given so that everyone can join in.

PRAYER FORMAT FOR THE GROUP ROSARY:

(https://s7.postimg.org/pto06cgej/Lady_Rosary.jpg)

QuoteINITIUM:

V. Domine, tibi offerimus per intercessionem Beatæ Mariæ semper Virginis, matris nostræ, hoc rosarium ad exaltationem sanctæ matris Ecclesiæ, ad conversionem peccatorum et ad intentiones sanctificationemque hujus fori membrorum.

Ad crucem:

V. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
R. Amen.

V. Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Filium ejus unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus, descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad cælos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam æternam.
R. Amen.

Ad granum majus:

V. Pater noster qui es in cælis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Ad tria grana minora:

V. Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
R. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.

Ad granum majus: Pater noster.
Ad decem grana minora: Ave Maria.

V. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
R. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
V. O Maria sine labe concepta.
R. Ora pro nobis, qui ad te confugimus.
V. O mi Jesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, libera nos ab igne inferni.
R. Conduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim illas quae maxime indigent misericordia tua.

V. Quartum mysterium gloriosum: Qui te assumpsit. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Quartum mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis crucem bajulavit.

(Idem)

DECAS QUINTA:

V. Quintum mysterium gloriosum: Qui te in cælis coronavit. In Septuagesima et Quadragesima: Quintum mysterium dolorosum: Qui pro nobis crucifixus est.

(Idem)

ORATIONES AD FINEM ROSARII DICENDÆ:

Ad tria grana minora in honorem castitatis Beatæ Mariæ semper Virginis:

V. Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
R. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.

Ad granum majus:

V. Salve Regina, mater misericordiæ, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
R. Amen.
V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.

V. Oremus. Deus, cujus Unigenitus per vitam, mortem et resurrectionem suam nobis salutis æternæ præmia comparavit, concede, quæsumus: ut hæc mysteria sacratissimo beatæ Mariæ Virginis Rosario recolentes, et imitemur quod continent, et quod promittunt assequamur. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum.
R. Amen.

Ad crucem:

V. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
R. Amen.

In this format, we pray 3 extra Hail Maries after the final decade in honor of the purity of the Blessed Virgin.

I'm sorry I didn't make it.  Checking back to the time proposed, I see I counted the wrong way.  How I did that, I do not know.  Once upon a time, i was involved in an online game that required constant time zone calculation because the game included folks from all over the US and Europe.  I am so out of practice.

I missed it too.  I'll confess, I wasn't keeping track of this thread very well.

Thank you Vetus for having it both at 8 and 10. 8 would have been a little awkward for me. 10 I should be should be able to make next time.

Thank you so much for putting this together, Vetus. Your format is beautiful.

I liked participating in this very much.  I think I will be able to be more prayerful if I print out a hard copy of the prayers.  I was a bit distracted by switching back and forth between the chat window and the one with the prayers.  (There may be a tech fix for this, but either I don't know it or my laptop does not support it.) I am mentioning this is case anyone else might find it helpful.

My thanks to all involved in organizing this and in leading last night's prayers, especially Vetus Ordo.

I just checked to see if I was able to open the chat room in a new window (not new tab) while looking at the list of prayers.  I was able to view the prayers in one window on the left by making it only half the screen and by doing the same for the chat room on the right.  This would work if you didn't want to print off a hard copy.

Are you able to open two separate browser windows and then move/resize them so they are side by side?

I don't think so.  I would rather have a paper copy anyhow.  But thanks for the suggestion.  It may help someone else.

The GR at 8PM was done.

The one at 10PM, I don't know. I was already asleep.
