Hail!  Queen  of  the  Most  Holy  Rosary,  my  Mother  Mary,  hail!  At  your  feet  I  humbly  pray  and

bound together, recalling to you a luminous mystery, with my petition for a particular grace.  

O  Holy  Queen,  dispenser  of  God’s  graces  and  mother  of all who invoke your holy name. Do not 

look  upon  my  gift  and  fail  to  see  its  binding.  As  you graciously receive my gift, I kindly implore 
you  to  receive  my  thanksgiving;  from your bounty you have granted me the favor I so trustingly 
sought.

1 x The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary  

 
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.  

Hail Holy Queen​iv  

Hail,  Holy  Queen,  Mother  of  Mercy,  hail  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 vale  of 
tears.  Turn  then,  O  most  gracious  advocate,  thine  eyes  of  mercy  towards  us  and  after  this  our  exile 
show unto us the blessed 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.  

Let us pray: O​  God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection has purchased for  us 

the  rewards  of eternal life; grant, we beseech you, that meditating on these mysteries of the most  Holy 
Rosary  of  the  Blessed  Virgin  Mary,  we  may  both  imitate  what  they  contain  and  obtain  what  they 
promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. 
 
May The Divine Assistance Remain Always With Us And May The Souls Of The Faithful Departed 
Through The Mercy Of God Rest In Peace. 
 
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel  
St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defence 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,  thrust  into  Hell  Satan  and  all  the  other  evil  spirits  who  prowl  about  the world seeking 
the ruin of souls. Amen.  

The Memorare 
Remember,  O  most  gracious  Virgin  Mary,  that  never  was  it  known,  that  anyone  who  fled  to  thy 
protection,  implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this  confidence, 
I  fly  unto  thee,  O  Virgin  of  virgins,  my  Mother.  To  thee  I  come,  before  thee  I  stand,  sinful  and 
sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy hear and  answer 
me. Amen.
