Prayer Before The Rosary

QUEEN of the Holy Rosary,
you have deigned to come to Fatima
to reveal to the three shepherd children
the treasures of grace hidden in the Rosary.
Inspire my heart with a sincere love of this devotion,
in order that by meditating
on the Mysteries of our Redemption
which are recalled in it,
I may be enriched with its fruits
and obtain peace for the world,
the conversion of sinners and of Russia,
and the favor which I ask of you in this Rosary.

(Here mention your request)

I ask it for the greater glory of God,
for your own honor,
and for the good of souls,
especially for my own.
Amen.

ON THE CRUCIFIX SAY:

The Apostles Creed

I BELIEVE in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell;
the third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God,
the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

ON THE LARGE BEADS SAY:

The Lord's Prayer

OUR Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

ON THE SMALLER BEADS SAY:

The Hail Mary

HAIL Mary, full of grace!
the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

AFTER THE LAST HAIL MARY
OF EACH DECADE SAY:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fire of hell,
release all souls into heaven,
especially those most in need of Your mercy.

 Then say:

Glory Be To The Father

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

AFTER ALL FIVE DECADES
ARE SAID, SAY:

The Hail Holy Queen

Hail Holy Queen,
Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in the valley of tears.
Turn then, O most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
 and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O Clement! O Loving! O Sweet Virgin Mary!
(strike your breast three times)
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Prayer After the Holy Rosary

O GOD,
whose only begotten Son,
by His life, death and resurrection,
has purchase for us the rewards of eternal life;
grant, we beseech Thee,
that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

May the divine assistance remain always with us.
Amen.

And may the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
