«In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph!»
Prayers before the Rosary
We start by making piously
the Sign of the Cross
, which is the Sign of the Christian:
In
the
name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
of
the
Mother
of
God. Amen.
Offering of the Rosary
I
unite
myself
to
all
the
Saints
and
holy
Angels
who
are
in
heaven,
to
all
the
right
-
eous
who
are
on
earth,
to
all
the
faithful
souls
who
are
in
this
home.
I
unite
myself
to
You,
my
Jesus,
to
praise
Your
holy
Mother
with
dignity
and
to
praise
You
in
and
through Her.
I
renounce
all
the
distractions
that
will
come
to
me
during
this
Rosary
that
I
want
to say with modesty, attention and devotion, as if it were the last of my life. Amen.
We
offer
You,
Lord
Jesus,
this
Creed
to
honor
all
the
Mysteries
of
our
Faith:
this
Our
Father
and
the
three
Hail
Marys,
to
honor
the
unity
of
Your
Essence,
the
Trinity
of
Your
Persons.
We
ask
You
for
a
living
faith,
a
firm
hope,
and
an
ardent
charity. Amen
The Symbol of the Apostles
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
Ghost,
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary,
suf
-
fered
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,
sitteth
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
Ghost,
the
Holy
Church
of
Jesus
Christ,
the
Communion
of
Saints,
the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
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
tres
-
passes
as
we
forgive
those
who
trespass
against
us;
and
lead
us
not
into
temptation,
but
deliver us from evil. Amen.
Three Hail Marys
Hail,
Mary,
full
of
grace,
the
Lord
is
with
Thee;
blessed
art
Thou
among
women,
and
blessed
is
Thy
Son,
Jesus.
Holy
Mary,
Mother
of
God
and
our
Mother,
pray
for
us,
sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory
be
to
the
Father,
and
to
the
Son,
and
to
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
to
the
Mother
of
God.
As
it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Sorrowful Mysteries
Let us Pray for the dying.
After
the
Last
Supper,
Jesus,
withdrawn
to
the
Garden
of
Olives
with
His
Apostles,
becomes
sad
to
the
point
of
death;
He
is
bathed
in
a
sweat
of
blood.
Strengthened
by
an
Angel,
He
prolongs
His
prayer
and
accepts the chalice of His Passion.
Jesus
understands
all
the
horrors,
the
consequences
and
the
terrible
debt
of
sin.
His
whole
being
revolts
at
the
thought
of
what
He
will
have
to
endure
to
pay
this
debt.
Yet
He
is
willing
to
take
this
burden
on
His
shoulders.
But
we!
We
treat
sin
lightly, we do not understand its enormity. If we did, we would never dare to commit it.
Let
us
ask
for
the
grace
of
a
sincere
conversion
for
ourselves
and
for
all
our
brothers
and sisters on earth.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus,
dying
in
the
Garden
of
Olives,
and
I
am
filled
with
sorrow
when
I
think
that
I
have
betrayed
You
like
Judas
and
deserted
You
like
the
Apostles,
instead
of
sharing Your sorrows.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
God,
to
drink
like
Mary
from
Your
bitter
chalice,
and
grant
me
con
-
trition for all my sins.
1
st
mystery: The Agony of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Let us ask for a perfect contrition of all our sins.
Convinced
of
Jesus’
innocence,
Pilate
nevertheless
delivers
Him
to
the
execu
-
tioners
to
be
scourged.
They
bind
Him
to
a
pillar
and
beat
Him
so
cruelly
that
His
body is a living wound.
Jesus
suffers
in
His
body.
He
allows
it
to
be
torn
to
shreds.
He
sacrifices
it
totally.
And
us!
We
pamper
our
bodies.
Often
in
our
fear
of
suffering
we
offend
God.
Therefore,
let
us
understand
that
if
Jesus
accepted
the
scourging
it
was
largely
to
teach
us
that
the
body
must
be
submitted
to the soul and that it must be sacrificed sometimes for the good of the soul.
Let us ask to willingly accept daily privations.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus
attached
to
the
pillar.
I
am
penetrated
with
pain
thinking
that
my
sins of impurity have contributed to the horrible torment of Your scourging.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
my
Jesus,
to
weep
like
Mary
at
the
sight
of
the
cruel
whips
that
tear
Your sacred body, and grant me to overcome my evil inclinations.
2
nd
mystery: The Scourging of Jesus
Let us ask for the mortification of our senses and the spirit of sacrifice.
The
executioners
put
a
crown
of
thorns
on
Jesus’
head,
and
beat
Him
with
sticks,
throw
an
old
red
cloak
on
His
shoulders,
give
Him
a
reed
for
a
scepter,
salute
Him
as
King
of
the
Jews,
and
make
Him
suffer
thousands of insults.
By
the
scourging
Jesus
pays
for
the
sins
of
the
flesh,
by
the
crowning
of
thorns
He
wants
to
make
atonement
for
the
sins
of
the
spirit,
sins
of
pride,
doubt,
selfish
-
ness,
and
human
respect.
Let
us
therefore
understand
that
if
Jesus
has
accepted
for
us
the
insults
of
the
soldiers,
their
mockery
and
contempt,
we
must
likewise
accept
ev
-
erything
for
Him,
not
be
ashamed
to
be
His
disciples,
and
leave
aside
all
human
respect
when it comes to Him and His teachings.
Let us ask to die to human respect.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus
crowned
with
thorns,
and
I
am
filled
with
pain
thinking
that
I
have
often stripped You of Your mantle of glory and covered You with opprobrium.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
my
God,
to
imitate
Mary,
enduring
the
greatest
humiliations
as
She did, without complaining. Grant me victory over pride and human respect.
3
rd
mystery: Jesus is crowned with thorns
Let us ask for mortification of mind and judgment.
Sentenced
to
death,
Jesus
carries
the
Cross,
instrument
of
His
torment,
to
Calvary.
All
the
people
are
charging
Him
with
insults.
Only
Mary,
His
Mother,
a
few
pious
women
and
a
few
disciples
sympathize with His sufferings.
This
man
who
staggers
under
the
heavy
Cross
is
the
Son
of
God.
The
crowd
ridicules
Him.
Only
a
few
holy
women
are
crying.
Jesus
tells
them
not
to
weep
for
Him,
but
for
themselves
and
their
chil
-
dren.
Whether
we
like
it
or
not,
the
Cross
is
in
our
lives.
Let
us
understand
that
only
Jesus
can
transform
it
into
an
instrument
of
happiness for us.
Let us ask for patience in trials.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus,
carrying
the
instrument
of
Your
martyrdom,
and
I
am
filled
with
pain
thinking
that
You
are
more
burdened
by
the
weight
of
my
sins
than
by
the
load
of
Your heavy Cross.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
my
God,
to
follow
You
as
Mary
did
to
the
summit
of
Calvary,
and
to
accept in union with Your divine Son all the crosses You will please to send me.
4
th
mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
Let us ask to receive with much love the crosses which God sends us.
Nailed
to
the
cross,
between
two
thieves,
Jesus
prays
for
His
executioners,
prom
-
ises
heaven
to
one
of
the
criminals,
en
-
trusts
His
Mother
to
the
apostle
Saint
John,
and,
crying
out:
“All
is
accom
-
plished,”
He
expires.
A
soldier
opens
His
side with a spear.
Jesus
dies
to
give
us
life.
Sin
destroys
God
and
causes
us
to
die.
To
live
and
possess
God,
we
must
die
to
sin.
Therefore,
let
us
understand
that
we
must
destroy
it
to
ob
-
tain
eternal
life,
that
without
the
Cross
there can be no Resurrection.
Let
us
ask
for
the
final
perseverance,
the
conversion
of
sinners,
the
deliverance
of
souls from Purgatory.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus,
crucified
for
love
of
us,
between
two
rebels.
I
am
penetrated
with
pain
thinking
that
I
could
drive
nails
into
Your
feet
and
hands
and
pierce
Your
Heart
with a cruel spear.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
my
God,
to
imitate
Mary,
the
Virgin
of
Seven
Sorrows,
immolating
Herself
with
You
at
the
foot
of
the
Cross.
May
I
finally
die
to
myself
and
to
all
earthly
things!
5
th
mystery: The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus on the Cross
Let us ask for the grace to die to ourselves in order to live only for God. Let us ask for the
perseverance of the just, the conversion of sinners and the deliverance of souls in
Purgatory.
Promise of Our Lady at Fatima
Hail, Holy Queen!
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,
O
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.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
In
the
Name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
of
the
Mother
of
God. Amen.

Sorrowful Mysteries
Let us Pray for the dying.
After
the
Last
Supper,
Jesus,
withdrawn
to
the
Garden
of
Olives
with
His
Apostles,
be
-
comes
sad
to
the
point
of
death;
He
is
bathed
in
a
sweat
of
blood.
Strengthened
by
an
Angel,
He
prolongs
His
prayer
and
accepts
the chalice of His Passion.
Jesus
understands
all
the
hor
-
rors,
the
consequences
and
the
terrible
debt
of
sin.
His
whole
being
revolts
at
the
thought
of
what
He
will
have
to
endure
to
pay
this
debt.
Yet
He
is
willing
to
take
this
burden
on
His
shoulders.
But
we!
We
treat
sin
lightly,
we
do
not
understand
its
enormity.
If we did, we would never dare to commit it.
Let
us
ask
for
the
grace
of
a
sincere
conversion
for
ourselves
and
for
all
our
brothers
and
sisters
on
earth.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus,
dying
in
the
Garden
of
Olives,
and
I
am
filled
with
sorrow
when
I
think
that
I
have
betrayed
You
like
Judas
and
deserted
You
like
the
Apostles, instead of sharing Your sorrows.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
God,
to
drink
like
Mary
from
Your
bitter
chalice,
and
grant
me
contrition
for
all
my sins.
1
st

Let us ask for a perfect contrition of all our sins.
Convinced
of

Pilate
nevertheless

scourged.
They
bind
Him
to
a

beat
Him
so
cruelly
that
His
body
is
a
liv

ing wound.
Jesus
suffers
in
His
body.
He
allows
it
to
be
torn
to
shreds.
He
sacrifices
it
totally.
And
us!
We
pamper
our
bodies.
Often
in
our
fear
of
suffering
we
offend
God.
Therefore,
let
us
understand
that
if
Jesus
accepted
the
scourging
it
was

that

Let us ask to willingly accept daily privations.
I

I
am
pene
-
trated
with
pain
thinking
that
my
sins
of
impurity
have
contributed
to
the
horrible
torment
of
Your
scourging.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
my
Jesus,
to
weep
like
Mary
at
the
sight
of
the
cruel
whips
that
tear
Your
sacred
body, and grant me to overcome my evil inclinations.
Let us ask for the mortification of our senses and the
spirit of sacrifice.
The

put
a

beat
Him
with

By
the
scourging
Jesus
pays
for
the

He
wants
to

for
the

that
I
have
often

Grant

victory
over

Let us ask for mortification of mind and judgment.
Sentenced

Only

sympathize with His sufferings.
This

is
the

The

ridicules
Him.
Only

for
themselves
and
their

Whether

the

Let

4
th
mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
Let us ask to receive with much love the crosses which
God sends us.
Nailed

Jesus

life.
Sin
de
-
stroys
God
and
causes
us
to
die.
To
live
and
possess
God,
we
must
die
to
sin.
Therefore,
let
us
understand
that
we
must
destroy
it
to
obtain
eternal
life,
that
without
the
Cross
there
can be no Resurrection.
Let
us
ask
for
the
final
perseverance,
the
conversion
of sinners, the deliverance of souls from Purgatory.
I
adore
You,
O
Jesus,
crucified
for
love
of
us,
between
two
rebels.
I
am
penetrated
with
pain
thinking
that
I
could
drive
nails
into
Your
feet
and
hands
and
pierce
Your Heart with a cruel spear.
Give
me
the
grace,
O
my
God,
to
imitate
Mary,
the
Virgin
of
Seven
Sorrows,
immolating
Herself
with
You
at
the
foot
of
the
Cross.
May
I
finally
die
to
my
-
self and to all earthly things!

th
mystery: The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
on the Cross
Let us ask for the grace to die to ourselves in order to live
only for God. Let us ask for the perseverance of the just,
the conversion of sinners and the deliverance of souls in
Purgatory.

Hail, Holy Queen!
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,
O
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.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
That
we
may
be
made
worthy
of
the
promises
of
Christ.
In
the
Name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.
