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.
