Prayers of the Holy Rosary
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
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.
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
Ghost, 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 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 Catholic
Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
The Our Father
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.
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
Glory Be to the Father
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it
was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Fatima Prayer
"O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell,
and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your
Mercy".
(Our Lady at Fatima, 13th July 1917)
The 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, 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.
Prayer After the Rosary
O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection,
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech
Thee, that, meditating on 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.
