The Confraternity of the Holy Rosary is a Roman Catholic spiritual association, under the care and guidance of the Dominican Order. The members of the confraternity strive to pray the entire Holy Rosary weekly. Members of the Rosary Confraternity promise the recitation of a weekly Rosary as their sole obligation. This does not bind under pain of sin. Along with several plenary and partial indulgences that are granted to members of the Confraternity, members also believe they are benefited from the countless Rosaries that are offered for their intentions by the other members throughout the world.
Rosary Confraternity Prayer
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and Mother of us all, we come to you for help in our sorrows, trials, and necessities. Sin leaves us weak and helpless but Divine Grace heals and strengthens.
We ask for the grace to love Jesus as you loved Him, to believe as you believed, to hope as you hoped; we ask to share your purity of mind and heart. Give us true sorrow for sin and make us love people as you and Jesus loved them. Obtain for us the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we may be wise with your wisdom, understand with your understanding, know with your knowledge, prudent with your prudence, patient with your patience, courageous with your fortitude and desire justice ardently for everyone with the all-consuming desire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus your Son.
Open our minds that as we pray the Rosary we will understand the teachings of the Gospel contained in its mysteries.
We pray especially for the members of the Rosary Confraternity whom we love. Help them wherever they may be; guide them, watch over them and make them strong in their trials and suffering. We are drawn together by a common bond of great charity for you and for each other; keep us faithful to your Son and to your Rosary till death.
Intercede for the souls in Purgatory, especially for the members of the Rosary Confraternity who have died. May they rest in peace. Finally, we ask for the grace of final perseverance for ourselves and for our loved ones that we may all be reunited in heaven forever.
Saint Dominic, you who received so much Grace and Strength from the Rosary, Pray for Us. Amen
Hello Pradeep, I liked your Catholic Gallery very much. It has simple everyday prayers and I like the font too.
I, too, had the desire to have a blog titled “Faith and Inspiration”. In it I wanted to have information about the Catholic faith and some inspirational stories and quotes daily. But got caught up with work and other programs i got involved. Keep up the good work. I haven’t explored everything today but will definitely do so. I have bookmarked this page. God Bless.
I have a paper copy of this prayer from the Western Dominicans from Portland, Oregon. It is dated March 30, 1979. It has an Imprimi Potest from Thomas Rafferty, O.P. and a Nihil Obstat from Paul Waldschmidt CSC, DD and an Imprimatur from Cornelius Power, Archbishop of Portland. This was mailed to me when I joined the Confraternity in 2001.
The article explains where the different parts of the prayer came from but not who came up with the prayer or when.
See my reply.
