<p><span style=color: #000000;>The Rosary for LGBTQ+ People is designed to add prayerful time to the LGBTQ+ persons or allied persons day while continuing to affirm Gods love for all of humanity. We are made in the image of our Creator perfect and pleasing in Gods sight. Because our Creator has made us this way we pray this rosary proudly and devoutly to Our Lady so she might look upon us with her Motherly love and bring us closer to her Son Jesus.</span></p><p><span style=color: #000000;>To prepare to recite the rosary set aside time in your day 15 to 25 minutes in a quiet and private space. The Rosary can be prayed individually or in a group. Each person recites the rosary differently at different speeds and you will find the speed which is right for you. Keep in mind this is a contemplative prayer.</span></p><p><span style=color: #000000;>As you spend time reflecting upon these mysteries you draw closer to the divine. If you are praying this individually take your time. Read and re-read the scripture passages and the reflections. Take notes of the thoughts which enter your mind and be open to receiving these thoughts. If your mind strays stop and allow it. You can always pick up where you left off. If you are praying in a group perhaps you might want to pause after every reflection and discuss your feelings on what the reflections says. Or perhaps after each decade you pause to share the thoughts and feelings which you had while you were reciting the prayers. However you or your group decides to pray this prayer make it your own.</span></p><h3><a href=https://www.dignityusa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/pride_rosary_print_ready.pdf>Download Rosary Booklet Here</a></h3><p><span style=color: #ffffff;>-</span></p><p></p><p><a href=https://www.dignityusa.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=35&amp;refCode=navDonate><img src='https://www.dignityusa.org/sites/default/files/virtualgatheringwidget2_11.png'></a></p><h4><span style=color: #000000;>DignityUSAs work for LGBTQI Catholics depends on the contributions of supporters like you!&nbsp;Our advocacy work educational materials and online presence need your support.</span></h4><h4><span style=color: #000000;><span style=color: #0000ff;><a href=https://www.dignityusa.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=35&amp;refCode=welcomeDateline data-cke-saved-href=https://www.dignityusa.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=35&amp;refCode=welcomeDateline><span style=color: #0000ff;>Make a one-time donation</span></a></span> or <span style=color: #0000ff;><a href=https://www.dignityusa.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=3&amp;refCode=welcomeDateline data-cke-saved-href=https://www.dignityusa.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&amp;id=3&amp;refCode=welcomeDateline><span style=color: #0000ff;>learn about becoming a member</span></a>.</span></span></h4>
