FAMILY ROSARY PRAYERS

---

 O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. 

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, sits 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 Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. 

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. 

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. 

Hail, 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! 

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. 

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. 

O God, whose only begotten Son, by His Life, Death, and Resurrection, has purchased for us the reward of eternal life, grant, we beseech that while meditating upon 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. 

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother; To thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, Despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer them. Amen. 

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, we place in you all my interests and desires. 

Oh, St. Joseph, do assist us by your powerful intercession, and obtain for us from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, we may offer our thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. 

Oh, St. Joseph, we never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; we dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in our name and kiss His fine head for us and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw our dying breath. 

St. Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family, pray for us.
