Preparatory Prayers Before The Rosary

Begin the Rosary with this offering prayer

Eternal Father, I offer you this Rosary,
by Mary’s Immaculate Heart in union with her Son’s,
Jesus Christ, precious blood,
as thanksgiving for all your good deeds,
according to the intentions of Jesus’ Sacred Heart
for all the grace and blessing that will
make us close to this beloved Heart
in life, in death, in time and eternity;
for the sick; for the dying;
for the conversion of sinners and for the souls in Purgatory;
for those who have asked for our prayers
and we are obliged to ask for and the family’s intentions,
to You, God, may all lead to your greater honour
and glory and a glorious death for us all.

A Prayer for Forgiveness (Communion of the Faithful)

Recommended daily prayer by Fulton J. Sheen

I confess to Almighty God, to Blessed Mary ever Virgin,
   to Blessed Michael the Archangel, to Blessed John the Baptist,
   to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints,
and to you, Father, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed:
   (Here, strike the chest three times (= Mea Culpa))
   through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.
Therefore I beseech Blessed Mary ever Virgin, Blessed Michael the Archangel,
Blessed John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints,
   and you Father, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

The Intention of this Rosary

Include any intention

In addition to the wish of our Lady of Fatima to “pray the Rosary every day”
and on 13
th Sept 1917 her request was
“Continue to pray the Rosary in order to obtain the end of the war.”
– we ask for the consecration of Russia and devotion to her Immaculate Heart. 

Let us all pray to Saint Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host –
by the Divine Power of God –
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.    

Amen

On the Cross of the Rosary

One begins by holding the Crucifix of the Holy Rosary, kissing it, doing the sign of the Cross and praying:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Thereafter (still at the Cross) pray

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord,
(Bow/kneel)
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
(End
of bow/kneel)
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 sits at the right hand of God
the Father almighty,
from there He shall 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.

Our Father

Announce The First Luminous Mystery

The Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:13-17)

“Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
But John tried to deter Him, saying,
“I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.”
Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water.
At that moment heaven was opened,
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on Him.
And a voice from heaven said,
“This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”

The Third Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima

Announce The Second Luminous Mystery

The Wedding of Cana (John 2:1-12)

“On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
This, the first of His miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples put their faith in Him.”

The 3rd Single Bead

Announce The Fourth Luminous Mystery

The Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-35)

“About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with Him and went up onto a mountain to pray. As he was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about His departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Peter and His companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to Him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters–one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to Him.” When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.”

The Third Apparition of our Lady of Fatima

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell,

The Institution of the Holy Eucharist (Mark 14:22-25)

“While they were eating, Jesus took bread,
gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying,
“Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them,
and they all drank from it.
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,”
he said to them. “I tell you the truth, I will not drink again
of the fruit of the vine until that day
when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”
