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.

Prayers of the Rosary

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.
