Prayer to our Lady of the Holy Rosary

O Virgin Mary, grant that the recitation of thy Rosary may be for me each day, in the midst of my manifold duties, a bond of unity in my actions, a tribute of filial piety, a sweet refreshment, an encouragement to walk joyfully along the path of duty.Grant, above all, O Virgin Mary, that the study of thy fifteen mysteries may form in my soul, little by little, a luminous atmosphere, pure, strengthening, and fragrant, which may penetrate my understanding, my will, my heart, my memory, my imagination, my whole being. So shall I acquire the habit of praying while I work, without the aid of formal prayers, by interior acts of admiration and of supplication, or by aspirations of love. I ask this of thee, O Queen of the Holy Rosary, through Saint Dominic, thy son of predilection, the renowned preacher of thy mysteries, and the faithful imitator of thy virtues. Amen.

Ending Prayer (after the last decade of the Holy Rosary )

O Virgin and Queen of the Holy Rosary, thou art the Daughter of our Heavenly Father, the Mother of God the Son, and the Bride of the Holy Ghost with His sevenfold gifts. Thou canst obtain all things from the ever-blessed Trinity; therefore obtain for us this humble prayer petition which is so urgent for us, provided that it be no obstacle to our eternal salvation (silent pause)
we ask it of thee through thy Immaculate Conception, thy Divine Motherhood, thy joys, thy sorrows and thy triumphs; we ask it of thee through the Sacred Heart of thy dear Jesus, and the nine months wherein thou didst carry Him in thy bosom, the hardships of His holy life, His bitter holy passion, His holy death on the Cross, His most Holy Name, through the shedding of His Precious Blood; finally, we ask it of thee through thine own most sweet Immaculate Heart and thy glorious name,
O Mary, thou who art the Star of the Sea, the sea of sorrows, the Gate of Heaven, and the Mother of every grace. In thee we put our trust; from thee we hope for all things. Amen.

Make me worthy to praise thee, O sacred Virgin;
Give me strength against thine enemies.

Pray for us, O Queen of the most Holy Rosary,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

In honor of Saint Dominic we pray Glory be
In honor of Saint Catherine of Sienna; Glory be
In honor of Saint Vincent Ferrer; Glory be . + Amen
