Traditional Rosary and Prayers for Friday
In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
O most holy Heart of Jesus,
fountain of every blessing,
we adore You,
we love You
and with a lively sorrow for our sins,
we offer You these poor hearts of ours.
Make us humble, patient,
pure and wholly obedient to Your will.
Grant, good Jesus,
that we may live in You and for You.
Protect us in the midst of danger;
comfort us in our afflictions;
give us health of body,
assistance in our temporal needs,
Your blessing on all that we do,
and the grace of a holy death.
Within Your Heart we place our every care.
In every need let us come to You
with humble trust saying,
‘Heart of Jesus, help us.’
Merciful Jesus,
we consecrate ourselves today
and always to Your Most Sacred Heart.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we implore that we may ever love You more and more.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we trust in You.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
have mercy on us!
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we believe in Your love for us.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
make our hearts like Yours.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Your Kingdom Come.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
convert sinners,
save the dying,
and deliver the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help
or sought thine intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
we fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, our Mother.
To thee we come,
before thee we humbly present ourselves,
sinful and sorrowful.
[Mention here your requests.]
O mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not our petitions,
but in thy mercy, hear and answer us.
Amen.
In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
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 rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father Almighty;
from there He will 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, 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.
O my God, I firmly believe
that You are one God in three Divine Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
I believe that Your Divine Son became man and died for our sins,
and that He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches,
because You revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Hail Mary…
O my God, relying on Your infinite goodness and promises,
I hope to obtain pardon of my sins,
the help of Your grace, and life everlasting,
through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
Hail Mary…
O my God, I love You above all things,
with my whole heart and soul,
because You are all-good and worthy of all love.
I love my neighbor as myself for the love of You.
I forgive all who have injured me,
and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner.
Hail Mary…
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Recite the Mystery:
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 Thy mercy.
In November and Rosaries for the Dead: The ‘Eternal Rest’ prayer is often prayed in place of the Fatima Prayer during the month of November (especially after dusk on All Saints Day and on All Souls Day) and during Rosaries prayed for the dead, such as at Funeral Vigils. Start by dedicating the prayer.
For our departed loved ones (or state a name), especially for the holy souls in Purgatory, we pray:
Eternal rest grant unto him/her (them), O Lord;
and let perpetual light shine upon him/her (them).
May he/she (they) rest in peace.
Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to you,
and for all who do not have recourse to you,
especially for the enemies of the Holy Church,
and for those recommended to you.
Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.

And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
