Rosary of Our Lord

Rosary of Our Lord

This Rosary is composed of the Pater, said thirty-three times in remembrance of the thirty-three years He lived on earth, and of the Ave five times in honour of his five most holy wounds; of the two remaining beads one Ave is said before saying Pater noster thrice in conclusion.

Begin with an act of contrition: 
O MY GOD,  I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
