The Sorrowful Mysteries In Petition

For the prayers in thanksgiving scroll down

Begin with prayer before the recitation of the rosary.

Hail Queen of the Most Holy Rosary my Mother Mary Hail! At thy feet I humbly kneel to offer thee a crown of roses-blood-red roses to remind thee of the passion of thy Divine Son, with Whom thou didst so fully partake of its bitterness.-each rose recalling to thee a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace.

O Holy Queen dispenser of God's graces, and Mother of all who invoke thee! Thou canst not look upon my gift and fail to see it's binding. As thou receivest my gift, so wilt thou receive my petition; from thy bounty thou wilt give me the favor I so earnestly and trustingly seek.

I despair of nothing that I ask of thee. Show thyself my Mother!

Followed by the Apostles Creed, one Our Father, three Hail Mary’s and one Glory be.

The Agony in the Garden

O most sorrowful Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Agony of Our Lord in the Garden, when in the Grotto of the Garden of Olives, Jesus saw the sins of the world unfolded before Him by Satan, who sought to dissuade Him from the sacrifice He was about to make; when, His soul shrinking from the sight, and His Precious Blood flowing from every pore at the vision of the torture and death He was to undergo, thy own sufferings dear Mother, those of His Church, and His own sufferings in the Blessed Sacrament, He cried in anguish, "Abba! Father!” if it be possible, let this chalice pass from Me, "Not as I will, but as Thou wilt!".

I humbly pray:

1 Our Father
