When we offer intentions during the Rosary, we usually fall back on the ones everyone knows by heart. The safe ones.
But every so often, something interesting pops into your mind and it hits you because it’s real.
Like this one: For those who go looking for God's love in the wrong places.
I think that was me most of my life, so I think it will be adding this to my daily prayers.
Anyone had something similar?

Not-so-common Intentions?

@misericordiaJun 24That's a beautiful intention! I love to pray for specific people (so not just "healing for all the sick", but "healing for all the sick, especially X"). It just makes it more personal and concrete.
@gabrielstcharlesJun 24It’s definitely nice to have a very specific intention in mind so we can focus our hearts!
@chrishannaJun 24That’s good one! I generally say my intentions and intercessions before starting the Rosary. I like to offer them once, surrender them to God, and then focus on praying the Rosary itself.
@lucaJun 24Having a specific intention is more useful than a vague one.
Sometimes I focus on people and calling them by name so I’ll be more “productive” in my heart!

@maria_26Jun 24When doing family prayer every decade I pray this ‘ Through this decade ,I offer ______(my parents,each of my sibling and family ) to your Immaculate Heart,for your protection ,guidance and peace .But when doing alone,sometimes I say a specific Bible verse related to the situation I am going through (eg.When I feel like I don’t deserve God’s love ,something related to that ),in between each Hail Mary .It makes it longer but I have found it to be very powerful .I have received a lot of healing through it
@heidejanemaryJun 25I was walking down the street and felt a sudden urge to pray for all those who get sucked mindlessly into their phones, especially with games, gambling, or scrolling. I think it was on my mind because I’ve seen multiple young children scrolling TikTok at restaurants recently, and I saw another small child scrolling YT shorts at Mass. Also because I’ve seen a lot ads for gambling apps, and I’m actually shocked by how many people must fall vicitim to them. So I prayed for all these people from a place of knowing what it’s like to be sucked into scrolling on IG.
@mau_wavJun 25Yep, definitely an overlooked problem. If anyone resonates with that I'd suggest to try shiftyourphone.com. It takes the willpower out of the equation and has worked for me.
@lucaJun 25@mau_wav Cool! Sometimes I put my phone in an airplane mode and far away from me.
Sometimes it worked better than other times but still growing.
