Confraternity Prayer
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and Mother of us all, we come to you for help in our
sorrows, trials and necessities. Sin leaves us weak and helpless but Divine Grace
heals and strengthens.
We ask for the grace to love Jesus as you loved Him, to believe as you believed, to
hope as you hoped; we ask to share your purity of mind and heart. Give us true
sorrow for sin and make us love people as you and Jesus loved them. Obtain for us
the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we may be wise with your wisdom, understand with
your understanding, know with your knowledge, prudent with your prudence, patient
with your patience, courageous with your fortitude and desire justice ardently for
everyone with the all consuming desire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus your Son.
Open our minds that as we pray the Rosary we will understand the teachings of the
Gospel contained in its mysteries.
We pray especially for the members of the Rosary Confraternity whom we love. Help
them wherever they may be; guide them, watch over them and make them strong in
their trials and suffering. We are drawn together by a common bond of great charity
for you and for each other; keep us faithful to your Son and to your Rosary till death.
Intercede for the souls in Purgatory, especially for the members of the Rosary
Confraternity who have died. May they rest in peace. Finally we ask for grace of final
perseverance for ourselves and for our loved ones that we may all be reunited in
heaven forever.
Saint Dominic, you who received so much Grace and Strength from the Rosary, Pray
for Us.
Apostles Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things
visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father
before all ages. God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten,
not made, consubstantial with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us
men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit, was
incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake, he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in
accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right
hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and
his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father
and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has
spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of
the world to come. Amen.
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.
— In honor of Our Lady’s power —
Oh, Immaculate Mary, Virgin most powerful, I beseech thee, through that immense
power which thou hast received from the Eternal Father, obtain for me purity of
heart, strength to overcome all the enemies of my soul, and the special favor I
implore in my present necessity.
Mother most pure! Forsake me not, despise not my prayer, graciously hear me for
God’s glory, thy honor, and the welfare of my soul.
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 death. Amen.
— In honor of Our Lady’s wisdom —
Oh Virgin Mary, my Mother, through that ineffable wisdom bestowed upon thee by
the Incarnate Word of God, I humbly beseech thee, obtain for me meekness and
humility of heart, a perfect knowledge of the Divine Will, and strength to accomplish
it always.
Oh Mary, Seat of Wisdom; as a tender Mother lead me in the path of Christian virtue
and perfection; enlighten and enable me to do what is most pleasing to thy beloved
Son, and obtain my petition.
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 death. Amen.
— In honor of Our Lady’s mercy —
Oh, Mother of Mercy, Mother of penitent sinners, I stand before thee sinful and
sorrowful, beseeching thee through the immense Love given to thee by the Holy
Spirit for us poor sinners, obtain for me true and perfect contrition for my sins, which
I hate and detest with all my heart, because I love God.
Mother most merciful, help me in my present necessity. Turn, then those eyes of
mercy toward us, oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin 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 death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
FOR THE LOVE AND GLORY OF GOD MOST HIGH
