Prayer before the Rosary
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 my heart with a sincere love of this devotion, in order that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption which are recalled in it, I may obtain peace for the world, the conversion of sinners, and the favor which I ask of you in this Rosary (Mention your request).
I ask it for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of souls, especially for my own.
Amen.
Prayer to be said at the end of each mystery.
*May the grace of this mystery come down into my soul.
Prayer after the Rosary
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, 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.
Omitting Russia from the prayer is not worthy of shame. It’s redundant as the “conversion of sinners” is already mentioned. To paint Russia with such a broad brush is very exclusionary and not in line with the intention of the Rosary.
In The Prayer Before the Rosary the removed the sentence ‘for the conversion of sinners, and of Russia.’ This is from Fatima and shame on them for being politically correct.
Prayer after each decade should be Forgive us our sins save us from the fires of he’ll Lead all souls to Heaven especially those most in need of thy Mercy Amen
