Our Lady of the Rosary

The Living Rosary

The living or daily Rosary is nothing other than the formation of fifteen people who share the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary for a certain period of time (a month, a week, etc.). Each of them recites a decade of the Rosary every day, in honor of the mystery that has been assigned to them for the period indicated. By this simple and easy means, the Rosary is recited each day in its entirety among these fifteen associates, who form a living Rosary.

In the 19th century, Pauline-Marie Jaricot established the Confraternity of the Rosary or Living Rosary in the city of Lyon, France. Since then the Living Rosary has spread to France, Belgium and other countries, and not without reason. For what could be more useful than this association of prayers where hearts are united to honor the Queen of Heaven, to meditate on Her joys, Her sorrows and Her glories, by a method that adapts to all situations of life? The living Rosary thus strengthens the bonds of charity between the faithful; it gives more force to their supplications; it provides them with the means of deepening a mystery by meditating on it several times. Shouldn’t so many advantages encourage us to practice this beautiful devotion by involving our relatives and friends in it?

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
