Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Prayer for the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

Grant us, we beseech Thee, O Lord,
to be fittingly prepared for the offering of these gifts,
and through the Mysteries of the most Holy Rosary,
so to meditate upon the life,
Passion and glory of Thine only-begotten Son,
that we may be made worthy of His promises.
Who liveth and reigneth with God the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God,
world without end.
Amen.

“We can never sufficiently recommend the saying of the Rosary, not simply with the lips but with the attention of the soul to the divine truths, with a heart filled with love and gratitude.”

“By your work you show what you love and what you know. When you observe true obedience with prudence and enthusiasm, it is clear that you wisely pick the most delightful and nourishing fruit of divine Scripture.”
