Properly? Here are the Blessed Mother's requests:
Our Lady of Fatima:
May 13, 1917: Say the Rosary every day to obtain world peace and the end of the war.
June 13, 1917: I want you to say the Rosary every day.
July 13, 1917: I want you to continue saying the Rosary every day.
August 19, 1917: I want you to continue saying the Rosary every day.
September 13, 1917: Continue saying the Rosary to obtain the end of the war.
October 13, 1917: I want you to continue saying the Rosary every day.
There is no mention of "properly" or anything resembling it.
Thank you, Steve, for being the only one to respond. Our Blessed Mother asks ONLY that we pray the rosary, without any stipulations.
Our Lady further said, "Pray, pray a great deal and make many sacrifices, for many souls go to Hell because they have no one to make sacrifices and to pray for them. " That sounds a lot like contemporary times where people pass away and there truly is no one to pray for them.
I challenge ALL of you to make THIS your goal. PRAY THE ROSARY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO ONE TO PRAY FOR THEM! It matter not whether you prefer to meditate on the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious .. or .. LUMINOUS mysteries. What matters is that you pray for these souls who have been abandoned by their own families and friends. Moreover, that is also the request of Pope Francis.
