The rosary prayed every night at 10 pm from Lourdes
On Tuesday 15 September 2026, the devotional day began with the gospel of the day and the saints' calendar. Mid-morning, one of the messages on the channel warned that its author does not believe he will make it to October with so many sorrows, and that he will miss the events of the Cristo de la Laguna. In the afternoon came the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, which this tradition places at 3 pm. And at 10 pm, the main event: the Holy Rosary.
How a daily online rosary is organised
The structure repeats every day and is designed so that no one has to look anything up on their own. First the gospel and the saints' calendar, with a link to the Vatican source. Then the homily of Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary. Next, the apophthegms of the Desert Fathers, that alphabetical collection of sayings compiled by the Jesuit Heribert Rosweyde in the 17th century and translated into French by Guy, Regnault and the monks of Solesmes. At the end, the instructions for the prayer explained with bullet points and the mysteries for the day. The full repertoire —links, litanies, the Salve and a sung Hail Mary— is renewed daily.
A call that names everyone who asks for it requires some work: the list of those summoned is updated by hand, adding whoever requests it and removing whoever asks to be taken off. Pure community maintenance, done post by post.
What it is prayed for: the list of intentions
Here lies the weightiest part. The intentions include reparation for offences against God, against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and against the Immaculate Heart of Mary; prayer for priests and their families; defence of life from conception to natural death; children, young people and families. And two petitions that in Spain were never merely devotional: the protection of the Cross of the Valley of the Fallen and of all crucifixes.
The duration is no minor detail: 25 to 30 minutes maximum, timed. Clock discipline, not sentiment.
The puzzling detail is at the end of the list. Prayers are asked for Pope Francis, "for his salvation", and two lines below, for Pope Leo. Without a single word of explanation for the coexistence.
