In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Introductory
Prayer
I unite
with all the saints in heaven, with all the just on earth, and with all the
faithful here present. I unite with you, my Jesus, in order to praise your holy
Mother worthily and to praise you in her and through her. I renounce all distractions,
which may arise during this Rosary. I desire to say it with attention and
devotion as if it were the last of my life. Amen. We offer you, Lord Jesus,
this Creed in honour of all the mysteries of our faith, the Our Father and
three Hail Marys in honour of the unity of your being and the Trinity of your
persons. We ask of you a lively faith, a firm hope and an ardent charity. Amen.
We offer
Thee, O most Holy Trinity, this Creed in honor of all the mysteries of our
Faith; this Our Father and these three Hail Marys in honor of the unity of Thy
Essence and the Trinity of Thy Persons. We ask of Thee a lively faith, a firm
hope and an ardent charity. Amen.
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe
in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born
of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and
was buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day He rose again. He ascended
into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He
will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of
sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Hail,
Holy Queen (Salve Regina)
Hail holy
Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we
cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine
eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed
Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
Come Holy
Spirit
Come,
Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of
Thy love.
V. Send
forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And
Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us
pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the
Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice
in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let Us
Pray
"O
God whose only begotten Son has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,
Grant that we beseech Thee while meditating upon these mysteries of the Most
Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may both imitate what they contain
and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord Amen."
Memorare
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to
thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the
Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Prayer to Saint Michael
St.
Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the
wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan
and all the other evil spirits, who wander throughout the world, seeking the
ruin of souls. Amen.
Concluding
Prayer
Hail Mary, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father, admirable Mother of the Son,
faithful Spouse of the Holy Spirit, august Temple of the most Holy Trinity!
Hail, sovereign princess, to whom all owe subjection in Heaven and on earth!
Hail, sure refuge of sinners, Our Lady of Mercy, who hast never refused any
request. All sinful though I am, I cast myself at thy feet and beseech thee to
obtain from Jesus, thy beloved Son, contrition and pardon for all my sins, as
well as the gift of divine wisdom. I consecrate myself entirely to thee with
all that I have. I choose thee today for my Mother and Mistress. Treat me,
then, as the least of thy children and the most obedient of thy servants.
Listen, my princess, listen to the sighs of a heart that desires to love and
serve thee faithfully. Let it never be said that of all those who have had
recourse to thee, I was the first to be abandoned. O my hope, O my life, O my
faithful and Immaculate Virgin Mary, defend me, nourish me, hear me, teach me
and save me. Amen.
Prayer to St. Joseph
To thee,
O Blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our tribulations, and while imploring the
aid of thy most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage also. By that
love which united thee to the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God, and by the
fatherly affection with which thou didst embrace the Infant Jesus, we humbly
beseech thee graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased
with His Blood and to help us in our necessities, by thy powerful intercession.
Protect, O most provident Guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen children of
Jesus Christ; ward off from us, O most loving Father, all taint of error and
corruption; graciously assist us from Heaven, O most power protector, in our
struggle with the powers of darkness; and as thou didst once rescue the Child
Jesus from imminent peril to His life, so now defend the Holy Church of God
from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.
Shield each one of us with thy unceasing patronage that, imitating thy example
and sported by thy aid, we may be enabled to live a good life, die a holy
death, and secure everlasting happiness in Heaven. Amen.

True Devotion to Mary, TAN Books and Publishers, 1985.
The
Luminous Mysteries were adapted according to this method..
As
suggested by the Pope John Paul II the Joyful mysteries are said on
Monday and Saturday, the Luminous on Thursday,
the Sorrowful on Tuesday and Friday, and the Glorious on
Wednesday and Sunday (with this exception: Sundays of Christmas season - The
Joyful; Sundays of Lent - Sorrowful)
"Let
people say the rosary every day. Our Lady stated that repeatedly in all her
apparitions, as if to fortify us against these times of diabolical
disorientation, so that we would not allow ourselves to be deceived by false
doctrines…" (Sr. Lucia)
