*Novena
Prayer:
My
dearest Mother Mary, behold me, your child, in prayer at your feet. Accept this
Holy Rosary, which I offer you in accordance with your requests at Fatima, as a
proof of my tender love for you, for the intentions of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, in atonement for the offenses committed against your Immaculate Heart,
and for this special favor which I earnestly request in my Rosary Novena:
(Mention
your request)
I
beg you to present my petition to your Divine Son. If you will pray for me, I
cannot be refused. I know, dearest Mother, that you want me to seek God’s Holy
Will concerning my request. If what I ask for should not be granted, pray that
I may receive that which will be of greater benefit to my soul.
I offer you this spiritual “Bouquet of Roses”
because I love you. I put all my confidence in you, since your prayers before
God are most powerful. For the greater glory of God and for the sake of Jesus,
your loving Son, hear and grant my prayer. Sweet Heart of Mary, be my
salvation.
*Hail
Mary
* Recite the petition prayer as follows:
Hail Queen of the Most Holy Rosary my Mother Mary,
Hail! At your feet I gratefully kneel to
offer you a Crown of Roses, full blown white roses, tinged with red of the
passion, with a glow of yellow light, to remind you of the glories, fruits and
sufferings of you and your Son, each rose recalling to you a holy mystery; each
ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace.
O
Holy Queen dispenser of God's graces and Mother of all who invoke you! You
cannot not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As you receive my gift, so you will receive
my petition; from your bounty you will give me the favor I so earnestly and
trustingly seek.
I
despair of nothing that I ask of you.
Show yourself my Mother!

*The First
Glorious Mystery,
THE
RESURRECTION
“After the Sabbath,
as the first day of the week was dawning, came Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary came to see the tomb. And, behold, there was a great earthquake; for an
angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone
from the door, and sat upon it…. And the angel answered and said to the women: ‘Do
not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here.
For he is risen, as he said.’”
Mathew 28: 1-6
The risen
Jesus has proved that man, together with Him, can have power over sin and
therefore death. Jesus, help raise us, deliver us from sin, from evil, give us
Your light, give us Your joy. Rekindle inside us the love, the faith, the
hopefulness, and the gift of prayer. Let us ask Mary for the gift of an
unshakeable faith.

*The Second
Glorious Mystery
THE ASCENSION
“While they
were still speaking about this, Jesus himself stood in their midst, and said to
them, ‘Peace be with you.’ But they were
startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. Then he said to
them, ‘Why are you troubled? And why do questions come up in your hearts? Look
at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost
does not have flesh and bones, as you can see I have.’ And having said this, he
showed to them his hands and his feet. ... ‘And behold I am sending the promise
of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power
from on high.’ And he led them out as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and
blessed them. As he blessed them he
parted from them and was taken up to heaven.”
Luke 24: 36-51
Jesus, you
have not deserted your apostles in anguish, but have given them the joy of
knowing Jesus "glorified" over 40 days . After your Ascension, you
granted to all those who seek you the gift of receiving you in the Eucharist.
Through Mary we trust in you. Mary, give us the gift of hope.
I humbly
pray:

The Third Glorious
Mystery
THE DESCENT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
“And when
the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all in one place together. And
suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it
filled the entire house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them
tongues as of fire, and it came to rest on each of them. And they were all
filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit enabled them to proclaim.”
Acts 2: 1-4
Jesus, infuse
us with the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, enlighten us with the light of Your
Spirit, with His strength enter in the deepest parts of our hearts and heal us.
Deliver us, fill up our hearts with your love. Make us apostles of yours, dear
Lord. Let us ask Mary the gift of true love, the gift of prayer from the heart.
"Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved Spouse."
I humbly
pray:

*The Fourth
Glorious Mystery
THE
ASSUMPTION OF OUT BLESSED MOTHER INTO HEAVEN
“Blessed are
you, daughter, by the Most High God, above all the women on; and blessed be the
Lord God, the creator of the heavens and the earth, who guided your blow at the
head of the chief of our enemies...With your own hand you have done all this;
you have done good to Israel, and God is pleased with what you have wrought.
May you be blessed by the Lord Almighty forever and ever!”
Judith 13: 18-20; 15, 10
Now that
Mary is raised into heaven, she prays for her sons and daughters, those sons
and daughters Jesus left her when He was on the cross. Mary, pray for us, you
know our fears, take us into your Heart, the Heart of a Mother. Help us now and
in the time of our death to be with you in Heaven. We ask of you a devotion to
your Immaculate Heart, where we may take refuge in times of trouble.
I humbly
pray:

Father

*The Fifth
Glorious Mystery
THE
CORONATION OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER IN HEAVEN AS ITS QUEEN
“A great
sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her
feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars.”
Revelations 12: 1
Let us trust
in Mary, let us call to her, let us love her, let us confide in her, because
she gives her all to us. We have a Mother in Heaven who is also a Queen; thus
we need to turn to her with full faith and hopefulness. If we ask for something
while praying the Holy Rosary, it will be granted to us. Ask her for the gift
of prayer, a prayer of the heart, said only for love, a love for her and Jesus.
Let us also ask for a consistency of prayer, to always be joined to her Heart,
and therefore to the Heart of Jesus.
I humbly
pray:
*Say:
(1)Our
Father
(10)Hail Mary
(1)Glory Be

full-blown roses with a petition for the virtue of: ETERNAL SALVATION

*SPIRITUAL
COMMUNION
My Jesus,
really present in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, since I cannot now
receive You under the sacramental veil, I ask You, with a heart full of love
and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the Immaculate heart of
Your most Holy Mother, and abide with me forever; You in me, and I in You in
time and in eternity, in Mary.
*PRAYER IN
PETITION
Sweet Mother
Mary, I offer you this Spiritual Communion to bind my bouquets in a wreath to
place upon your brow. O my Mother! Look
with favor upon my gift, and in your love obtain for me (specify request).
O God! Who’s
only-begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us
the reward of eternal life; grant, we ask You, that, 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.
May the
divine assistance remain always with us.
Amen.
And may the
souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
Holy Virgin,
with the loving Child, thy blessing give to us this day.
*HAIL HOLY
QUEEN
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. Turn then, most gracious advocate, Thine
eyes of mercy towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed
Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, Oh loving, Oh sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for
us, Oh Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of
Christ.
*MEMORARE
Remember, O
most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your
protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to
you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
* PRAYER TO
ST. MICHAEL
St. Michael,
the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O
Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all
the other evil spirits, who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
