Traditional Rosary and Prayers for Monday
In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer!
You came to enlighten the world
with Your teaching and example,
and to live the greater part of Your life
with Mary and Joseph
in their home at Nazareth.
Thus You sanctified the family
that was to be an example
to all Christian families.
Graciously receive our family,
which is dedicated and consecrated to You this day.
Protect it; guard it
and establish it in holy fear,
in peace, and in the harmony of Christian charity.
By conforming ourselves to the model of Your family,
may we all without exception
attain to eternal happiness.
Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother!
By your intercession make this,
our humble offering,
acceptable to Jesus
and obtain for us His grace and blessings.
O St. Joseph,
most holy guardian of Jesus and Mary!
Assist us by your prayers
in all our spiritual and temporal needs,
so that we may be able to praise
our Divine Saviour, Jesus,
together with Mary and you for all eternity.
Amen.
Queen of the Holy Rosary,
you have deigned to come to Fatima
to reveal to the three shepherd children
the treasures of grace hidden in the Rosary.
Inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion,
in order that by meditating on the Mysteries
of our Redemption which are recalled in it,
we may be enriched with its fruits
and obtain peace for the world,
the conversion of sinners and of Russia,
and the favours which we ask of you in this Rosary.
(Here mention your requests.)
We ask them for the greater glory of God,
for your own honour,
and for the good of souls,
especially for our own.
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.
We offer Thee, O Lord Jesus, this first decade

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
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.

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

[From the day after Pentecost (or from Trinity Sunday, if Pentecost is celebrated with octave) to the beginning of Advent:]
Grant, we beseech you, O Lord God,
that we, your servants, may enjoy
perpetual health of mind and body;
and by the glorious intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
may be delivered from present sorrow,
and rejoice in eternal happiness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
[The Prayer to St. Joseph is often added as a concluding prayer, especially during the month of October (this was recommended by Pope Leo XIII):]
To you, O Blessed Joseph,
we have recourse in our tribulations,
and while imploring the aid of your most holy Spouse,
we confidently invoke your patronage also.
By that love which united you to the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God,
and by the fatherly affection with which you embraced the Infant Jesus,
we humbly beseech you to regard graciously
the inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased with His Blood
and to help us in our necessities, by your powerful intercession.
Protect, O most provident Guardian of the Holy Family,
the chosen children of Jesus Christ;
ward off from us, O most loving Father,
all taint of error and corruption;
graciously assist us from Heaven, O most powerful protector,
in our struggle with the powers of darkness;
and as you once rescued the Child Jesus
from imminent peril to His life,
so now defend the Holy Church of God
from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity.
Shield each one of us with your unceasing patronage that,
imitating your example and supported by your aid,
we may be enabled to live a good life,
die a holy death,
and secure everlasting happiness in Heaven.
Amen.
[From the fourth Sunday before Christmas to Christmas Eve:]
O God, you willed that, at the message of an angel,
your word should take flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary;
grant to your suppliant people,
that we, who believe her to be truly the Mother of God,
may be helped by her intercession with you.
Through the same Christ our Lord. .
Amen.
[From Christmas to Candlemass (the Feast of the Presentation), that is through February 1:]
O God, by the fruitful virginity of Blessed Mary,
you bestowed upon the human race the rewards of eternal salvation;
grant, we beg you, that we may feel the power of her intercession,
through whom we have been made worthy to receive the Author of life,
our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
who lives and reigns with you forever and ever.
Amen.
[From Candlemass to Easter (through Holy Week):]
Lord, take away the sins of your people.
may the prayers of Mary the mother of your Son help us,
for alone and unaided
we cannot hope to please you.
fill our hearts with your love,
and as you revealed to us by an angel
the coming of your Son as man,
so lead us through his suffering and death
to the glory of his resurrection,
for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
AMEN.
[From Easter day through Pentecost, and throughout the octave of Pentecost if it is celebrated:]
God our Father, you give joy to the world

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
AMEN.
Lord, source of eternal life and truth,
give to Your shepherd, Pope [name],

build Your church into a sacrament of unity,
love, and peace for all the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
