Why Pray the Rosary?
Imparted by the Blessed Virgin Mary
to Saint Dominic
and Blessed Alan de la Roche
1. Whoever faithfully prays the
Rosary shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection
and the greatest graces
to all those who pray the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armour
against hell; it will destroy vice,
decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works
to flourish; it will obtain for souls
the abundant mercy of God.
5. The soul which recommends
itself to me by recitation
of the Rosary shall not perish.
6. All who pray the Rosary devoutly
and consider its sacred mysteries
shall never be conquered by misfortune.
God will not chastise them in His justice;
they shall not perish by an unprovided
death; if they be just they shall remain
in the grace of God, and become
worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion
for the Rosary shall not die without
the sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite
the Rosary shall have, during their life
and at their death, the light of God
and the plenitude of His graces;
at the moment of death
they shall participate in the
merits of the saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from Purgatory
those devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary
shall merit a high degree
of glory in Heaven.
11. By recitation of the Rosary,
you shall obtain all you ask of me.
12. All those who propagate
the Holy Rosary shall be
aided by me in their necessities.
13. Advocates of the Rosary
shall have for intercessors the
entire celestial court during their
life and at the hour of death.
14. All who pray the Rosary
are my sons and daughters,
and brothers and sisters of
my only Son Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my Rosary is
a great sign of predestination.

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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again
from the dead; he ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
Lord's Prayer
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.
Do not let us fall into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
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
Glory be to the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell,
lead all souls to heaven,
especially those in most need
of thy mercy.
Amen.
Salve Regina
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve; to you do we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of
your 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.
Amen.
