Holy Rosary Prayer Guide and Intentions
Oh God, who instructed the hearts of Your faithful with the Light of Your Holy Spirit, grant us that, encouraged and guided
Through this same Spirit, let us learn to act righteously always and enjoy the Sweetness of Good and Your Divine.
Consolations. For Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Offering prayer
I join all the saints in Heaven, all the righteous souls on earth, all the faithful who pray this rosary in the
present hour. I join you, my Jesus, to properly praise Your Mother, and You in her and through her. I renounce all the
distractions that came to me during the prayer of this rosary, which I propose to pray with modesty, attention, and devotion,
as if it were the last of my life. I ask for living faith, firm hope, and burning charity. Amen.
Act of Contrition
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and Man, Creator, Father, and my Redeemer; for being who You are, infinite goodness, and
because I love you above all things, it weighs on my heart to have offended you; it also weighs on me because you can
punish me with the pains of hell. With Your divine grace, I firmly propose to sin no more, to confess myself
and fulfill the penance that may be imposed on me. Amen.
One minute of silence to present the intentions
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit. Born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under the power of Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, dead and buried. He descended to hell and on the third day he rose from the dead. He ascended to 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, in the holy Catholic Church, in the communion of saints, in the forgiveness of sins, in the resurrection
of the dead and in eternal life. Amen.
We pray
Our Father for the holy father and his intentions
3 Hail Marys for the increase of the 3 theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity.
