How many intentions can one say a rosary for? At what point do you just say another rosary? I say a rosary for the poor souls, in reparation to the Immaculate Heart and the Blessed Sacrament, and for my Uncle Tom. But I wonder if that's too many intentions for just one rosary. What do you think?
My Lord and my God.
Ven. Matt Talbot, pray for Tom.

There's not really a limit - that sort of thinking is very Trad and Jansenist - aka transactional.

Pray for as many as you wish, there's no limit with Her.

The better option, imo, is to just give it to Her and let Her use it however she so wishes. She knows what we want and need better than we do ourselves.

Very good advice. Thanks, Laus.

When the first thing you do after waking up in the morning you say your Morning Offering, you will be saying all of your prayers that day for all of the intentions you made in your Morning Offering. Simply add in all the intentions you can think of into your Morning Offering. That way you're covered. ;)

Something like this....
"O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee all of my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for all of our sins, for  intentions of our associates, and in particular for the intentions of our Holy Father the pope, for all the holy suffering souls in purgatory especially (names), for the conversion of all sinners especially (names), for the grace of a holy and happy death, and for (names), and for...and for...and for... etc."

Add whomever and whatever you can think of in your Morning offering, add as many things as you want and make the list as long as you want, do this and all of your intentions will go toward all of the prayers you pray during the day, every day you pray your Morning Offering like this.  :D 
Even after a long life of sin, if the Christian receives the Sacrament of the dying with the appropriate dispositions, he will go straight to heaven without having to go to purgatory. - Fr. M. Philipon; This sacrament prepares man for glory immediately, since it is given to those who are departing from this life. - St. Thomas Aquinas; It washes away the sins that remain to be atoned, and the vestiges of sin; it comforts and strengthens the soul of the sick person, arousing in him a great trust and confidence in the divine mercy. Thus strengthened, he bears the hardships and struggles of his illness more easily and resists the temptation of the devil and the heel of the deceiver more readily; and if it be advantageous to the welfare of his soul, he sometimes regains his bodily health. - Council of Trent
