Roseanne asked about the mysteries of the Rosary:    

    Is anyone out there able to help me with a list?
    
Cindy posted the mysteries.  The following prayers are standard at
chapels of the Society of St. Pius X, where virtually everyone prays the
Rosary every day:

Preparatory prayers:

- Sign of the Cross
- Apostle's Creed (on the Crucifix)
- Our Father (1st bead)
- 3 Hail Marys for Faith, Hope, Charity
- Glory be

Then for each decade:

- Our Father
- 10 Hail Marys
- Glory be
- Fatima Prayer (O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires
  of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most
  need of thy mercy. )  (This prayer was requested at the Fatima
  apparitions of 1917.  I don't recall if it was our Lady herself who
  asked, or the guardian angel of Portugal.)

    I'm eager to make contact with other educated, technically-hip,
    Catholics.
    
There are several here.  We will be most happy to argue heatedly about
anything and everything.  :-)  Oh, for a Catholic mailing list.

Try TAN books in Rockford, Illinois if you need good Catholic books.
