Please pray the Sorrowful Mysteries with us. The Five Sorrowful Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Please consider adding this prayer for our seminarians to the beginning of your Rosary:
O Jesus, Eternal High Priest,
I offer You through Your Immaculate
Mother Mary, this Rosary as a petition
for graces for all seminarians.
Give them humility,
meekness, prudence, and a burning
zeal for souls. Fill their hearts with the
gifts of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to
know and love the Church, that they
may always and everywhere speak,
act, and think with her, the glorious
spouse of Christ. Teach them
generosity and detachment from
worldly goods; but above all, teach
them to know You and to love the
One and Only Eternal Priest.
Good Shepherd of Souls, hear this my
prayer for saintly priests. Amen.
Lyrics to the Salve Regina at the end of the Rosary:
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae:
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, Advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens: O pia: O dulcis
Virgo Maria.
Translation: 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, O 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!
