Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Embedded Files
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said,
"The Rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known;
it is the book of the simple, which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men;
it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of this world, and open on the substance of the next.
The power of the rosary is beyond description."

The 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, the third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven,
and is seated 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 life everlasting. Amen.

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!
Leader: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
Response: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life;
grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating on 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.
We Pray To St Michael The Archangel
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the hour of conflict,
be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God restrain him, we humbly pray, and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God,
thrust Satan down to hell and with him all wicked spirits
who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Concluding Prayer
May the Divine Assistance
always remain with us
And may the souls
of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in Peace
Amen
