A prayer to enter into silence
Before beginning the rosary, it is important to make yourself available inwardly. The accompanying prayer helps you to leave behind your daily concerns and turn to God with simplicity. It allows you to set an intention, entrust a situation, or simply offer this time of prayer.
This inner disposition transforms the recitation of the rosary into a true moment of encounter and peace.
A prayer to entrust one's intentions
The rosary is often prayed for specific intentions: a loved one, a difficult situation, a decision to be made, or a moment of gratitude. Accompanying the Rosary with a prayer allows us to name these intentions and place them in God's hands with confidence. Even when words fail us, the repeated prayer of the Rosary carries these silent intentions and places them in God's heart.
A prayer to walk with Mary
Praying the rosary is praying with the Virgin Mary. She accompanies each mystery, each decade, and guides the believer to her Son. The prayer that accompanies the rosary recalls this maternal presence and invites us to let ourselves be led with confidence.
Mary does not take away trials, but she helps us to go through them with faith, gentleness and hope.
A prayer to nourish fidelity
The power of the Rosary also lies in fidelity. Even when prayer seems difficult, even when your attention wanders, the simple act of taking the rosary in your hands is already a prayer. Accompanying it with a prayer helps you to persevere and keep this regular appointment with God. Day after day, this fidelity bears fruit in the form of inner peace and confidence.

Guide my prayer,calm my heart and help me to contemplate the life of your Son. May each decade bring me closer to God, fill me with peace and teach me to walk in trust and hope. Amen.
