The Rosary

A Prolife Version

The Prolife Rosary

(prayer before the rosary)

Father, I come to this place as to a new Calvary. I wish to stand here with Mary and those who stood by the cross of Jesus the day He sacrificed Himself for us sinners.

I firmly believe the sorrowful scene before my eyes is nothing less than a re-enactment of Jesus' suffering and death, already anticipated in the massacre of the Innocents of Bethlehem and repeated in the slaughter of these least breathern of His, the tiny children brought here today for killing.

Oh Father, I realize that I cannot stop the killing of most of these children, anymore than Mary could have stopped the slaying of her own child that day. I unite my heart with hers in Faith and grieving love and humbly adore Your divine purpose in allowing such bloodshed. I offer you the blood of Jesus and, mingled with it, the blood of these little ones, the abortionists and our whole society. Please remember Jesus' own prayer from Calvary with it's echo in Mary's heart: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

But perhaps the hour has not yet come for some of them. Once you told St. Joseph to take the child and His Mother far from those seeking to destroy the Child's life. I offer myself to You as St. Joseph's helper, ready to do everything I can for my beloved Jesus and Mary in the person of any child and mother You entrust to my care.

Dear Father, accept my prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.

(prayers in the Rosary)

Apostle' Creed
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 sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall 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.

Lord's Prayer
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.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with Thee; blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory Be to the Father
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.

O, My Jesus
Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sin. Save us from the fire of Hell and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy Mercy.

(mysteries of the rosary)

Joyful

Annunciation
May all mankind respond to the grace of God. We pray we will accept the will of God as Mary accepted the will of God, in faith and obedience. We ask that all expectant women be able to feel the peace and love of Our Lord and accept the new life within them.

Visitation
May be always respond to mothers and mothers-to-be in love and faith as Mary did when she went to help Elizabeth, who also was with child. May our example of love by our presence here encourage women to choose life.

Birth of Christ
We pray that we always see the infant Jesus in every child to be born, and that every woman approaching an abortion clinic will feel your love, Lord, and choose life. From the time Jesus began his journey on earth to the day He gave His life for our salvation, He showed us how to pray and love others. May we be there for expectant mothers in their time of need with prayer and love, as St Joseph protected Mary.

Presentation
As Mary and Joseph showed obedience to Jewish law, let us be obedient to God's law and always respect life as every stage. Give us the strength to speak out in defense of these small babies about to be aborted.

Finding the Child Jesus in the Temple
As MAry and Joseph rejoiced after finding Jesus in the Temple, let those who have been lost to God be found. Lord, even as a small boy, You showed us that we too must be about Our Father's business. We pray we will always be willing to help those who have become lost.

Sorrowful

Agony in the Garden
"Could you not watch one hour with Me?" Our Lord asked of his apostles in the garden. Give us the strength to watch and pray 1 hour for those about to die. Let our presence here give mothers the strength to choose God, and choose life.

Scourging at the Pillar
As Christ was scourged, His skin was torn. The pain was like 1000 knives. How like the pain of an abortion. By your suffering, Lord, we ask that these babies be saved from a terrible death. Let all mothers feel the love You have for each of them.

Crowning of Thorns
As the soldiers mocked You and crowned You with thorns, You loved them. Give us the strength and wisdom, Lord, to follow Your example. Let us not fear what others say. Let us follow only Your word. Let us love and care for all people. We ask for an increase of the gifts of humility and spiritual courage.

Carrying of the Cross
May all mothers know that no matter how heavy their cross seems to be, You are there, Lord, helping them carry it. We pray that every mother knows that as You fell 3 times, You are there for them, when they fall. You will lift them into Your arm. You are there with each child carried in the womb.

Crucificion
Lord, we ask to always remember Your words, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Give us the grace to pray for those who reject You. Let us never turn away from those in the abortion industry. Let us be Your disciples and pray for their conversion as well as our own.

Glorious

Resurrection
Lord, You are the Resurrection and the Life. After Your agonizing death on the cross,You rose on Easter Sunday. You spoke to Mary with such Love and tenderness. We pray that the women going into this abortion clinic feel the same love and tenderness from us. Let every mother carry Your words in her heart. "Peace be with you...Be not afraid."

Ascension
As we follow the example of Our Lord each day, we hear His words, "Know that I am with you always, even to the end of the world." We pray that we will always have the courage to be His disciples and show His love for all people by standing here in defense of life. We pray that all mothers feel the presence and strength of Our Lord each day.

Descent of the Holy Spirit
Give us strength and courage, O Holy Spirit, to follow the example of the apostles. Though they were fearful, You filled them with faith and courage. Jesus, through Mary, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, we pray for a new Pentecost today, that all mothers will be filled with the fire of Your love and the faith to accept Your Will.

Assumption
Most chaste and gentle Mother, be always our model for purity and humility. Mary most pure and gentle Virgin, let us desire only the will of the Father. Help us not to seek rewards on this earth for Heaven is the greatest reward. We seek only to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our life.

Coronation
We join Our Lady in prayer, as She and all the Angels praise God continually. "A great sign appeared in the sky, a Woman clothed in the Sun, with the moon at Her feet, on Her head a crown of 12 stars. She will crush the serpent's head."

(Prayers after the rosary)

Hail Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To Thee to do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to Thee to we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us, the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

Memorare
Remember, P 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 with this confidence, we fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother; To you we come; before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer them. Amen.

St Micheal
St. Michael the ArchAngel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do though, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into Hell satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl the world, seeking the ruin of souls.

Intercession
Thank you, Lord, that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Seek out, Lord, those women who are considering ending their children's lives. Lead them out of their confusion. Assist them in their time of doubt. Overpower the evil influences that beckon to them. May the beating of the human heart, deep within her womb, reach that mother's awareness, and persuade her to accept the challenge and the gift of life, her child has been given by God. Blessed are You, O Lord, the One who creates Life, Sustains Life, and redeems Life. Amen.
