St. Joseph Rosary
Today I heard about a different way to say the Rosary - a St. Joseph Rosary!
It is prayed exactly like the Marian rosary, except instead of saying the "Hail Mary" on the 10 beads you say:
Joseph, son of David, and husband of Mary; we honor you, guardian of the Redeemer, and we adore the child you named Jesus.
Saint Joseph, patron of the universal church, pray for us that, like you, we may live totally dedicated to the interests of the Savior.
Amen.
There are also additional Mysteries on which to reflect:
1. Betrothal to Mary (Mt 1:18).
2. Annunciation to Joseph (Mt 1:19-21).
3. Birth and Naming of Jesus (Mt 1:22-25).
4. Flight into Egypt (Mt 2:13-15).
5. Hidden Life at Nazareth (Mt 2:23; Lk 2:51-52).
Yeah, I know, probably most everyone else has heard of this, but it's new to me and I think it's great.

I had never heard of it! I'm so glad you posted it.
Cool! I will use this in my classes. I am a middle school religion teacher.
