Holy Rosary

San Felipe Choir

Prayer Booklet

Besides the Indulgences attached to the Rosary, Our Lady revealed to St.
Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche additional benefits for those who
devoutly pray the Rosary.
1. Whosoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive
signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite
the Rosary.
3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin
and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of
God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities,
and will lift them to the desire for Eternal Things. Oh, that souls would sanctify
themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not
perish.
6. Whosoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of
its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise
him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall
remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of Eternal Life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the
Sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their
death the Light of God and the plenitude of His Graces; at the moment of death they
shall participate in the Merits of the Saints in Paradise.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of Glory in Heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by recitation of the Rosary.
12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have
for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the Rosary are my Sons, and brothers of my Only Son Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

PRAYERS
COME HOLY SPIRIT

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of
your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew
the face of the earth.
Let us pray
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His
consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
THE APOSTLE'S 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 arose again from the dead; He
ascended into Heaven, sited 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.
THE OUR FATHER
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.

SALVE REGINA
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 toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed
fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
V: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
LET US PRAY
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has
purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation. Grant, we beseech Thee, that

religious Institute destined to endure and to bring to the farthest boundaries of the
earth thy glorious work, obtain also for us from Our Lord a holy love for young
people who are exposed to so many seductions in order that we may generously

them safe from the dangers of the world, and in guiding them, pure and holy, in
the path that leads to God. Amen.

Prayer for Students
Under thy patronage, dear Mother, and calling on the mystery of thine
Immaculate Conception, I desire to pursue my studies and my literary labors: I
hereby solemnly declare that I am giving myself to these studies chiefly to the
following end: that I may the better contribute to the glory of God and to the
promotion of thy veneration among men. I pray thee, therefore, most loving
Mother, who art the Seat of Wisdom, to bless my labors in thy loving-kindness.
Moreover I promise with true affection and a willing spirit, as it is right that I
should do, to ascribe all the good that shall come to me therefrom, wholly to
thine intercession for me in God's holy presence. Amen.
