When praying the rosary during Lent, should you pray only the Sorrowful Mysteries?

In this clip, we respond to a question from a listener who asks, "My mother says that during Lent we should do only the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. But I pray other mysteries too – is that okay?" This clip answers that and provides even more insight to the personal devotion of the rosary.

GSR shares clips from our friends at  A Nun’s Life Ministry, which has a live prayer podcast on Monday (excluding holidays) at 4 p.m. Central Time and other live podcasts throughout the month: “Ask Sister,” “Motherhouse Road Trip” and “In Good Faith.” Dates and times for the full, live episodes are listed on their program schedule.
