Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary,
Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
on this day, I come to place myself under your maternal care
and entrust to you all that I hold in my heart.
Mary, you who welcomed the Word of God with trust,
you who carried Jesus in your arms,
you who accompanied him on his journey through life
and who remained by his side right up to the foot of the Cross,
teach me to remain faithful to God
in good times and in times of difficulty.
Take me by the hand,
and always lead me towards your Son.
When my faith grows weak,
help me to believe.
When my hope falters,
help me to wait.
When anxiety fills my heart,
help me to find peace again.
And when I no longer know how to pray,
simply teach me to whisper:
‘Hail Mary, full of grace… ”
? Our Lady of the Rosary, protect my family
Mary, Mother full of tenderness,
I entrust my family to you today.
I entrust to you those who live with me
and those who are far away.
I entrust to you my children,
my parents,
my loved ones,
my friends
and all the people I love.
Watch over them.
Protect them on the paths they take.
Be with them when they travel.
Guide them when they have to make a decision.
Lift them up when they face trials.
Comfort them when they suffer.
And when I cannot be with them,
remind me that I can always entrust them to God in prayer.
Our Lady of the Rosary,
spread your motherly mantle over our families.
May our homes become places of peace.
Where there is tension,
bring patience.
Where words have caused hurt,
open a path to forgiveness.
Where families are divided,
kindle a desire for reconciliation.
Where someone suffers in silence,
let a presence arise that is able to listen to and love them.
Where anxiety reigns,
restore trust.
And may Jesus always remain at the heart of our homes.
? Mary, I entrust my worries to you
Our Lady of the Rosary,
you know the concerns I share with others
and those I keep deep within me.
You know those thoughts that return when night falls.
You know the questions to which I cannot find an answer.
You know my fears for tomorrow.
You know the wounds of my past.
You also know this special intention
that I carry in my heart today.
I entrust it to you now in silence.
[...]
Mary, present this intention to your Son.
If what I am asking for is good for me,
help me to receive it with gratitude.
If the path must be different from the one I imagine,
give me the strength to accept it.
And if I must wait,
teach me to wait without losing faith.
For I know that prayer is never in vain
when it draws us closer to God.
?️ Our Lady of the Rosary, be with those who are suffering
Mary,
I entrust to you all those who are going through a trial today.
The sick.
Those awaiting a diagnosis.
Those who are starting treatment.
Those who are living with pain.
Those who are caring for a sick loved one.
Those who have lost someone they loved.
Those who are experiencing loneliness.
Those facing financial or professional difficulties.
Those who can no longer find their way.
Those who are discouraged.
Those who have lost hope.
And those who no longer even have the strength to pray.
Stay by their side, just as you stood by Jesus at the foot of the Cross.
Bring them comfort.
Give them the strength they need for today,
and then the strength they will need tomorrow.
And when they do not understand why they are facing trials,
help them never to believe that God has abandoned them.
? Teach me to pray the Rosary with my heart
Our Lady of the Rosary,
teach me not to recite my rosary merely with my lips,
but with my heart.
When I contemplate the Joyful Mysteries,
teach me to welcome the little joys that God places in my path.
As I contemplate the luminous mysteries,
help me to follow Jesus and let his light guide my choices.
As I meditate on the sorrowful mysteries,
teach me to lay my sufferings at the foot of the Cross
and to bear those of my neighbour with compassion.
As I meditate on the Glorious Mysteries,
remind me that death and suffering will never have the last word.
May every bead of my rosary
become a step towards Jesus.
May every Our Father
teach me to trust in God.
May every Hail Mary
soothe my heart.
And may each Glory Be to the Father
remind me that my whole life belongs to the Lord.
✨ Mary, help me to forgive
Our Lady of the Rosary,
there are sometimes wounds that we carry for a long time.
Words we have not forgotten.
Injustices we cannot bring ourselves to accept.
People we find it hard to forgive.
Mary, I am not asking you to erase my memory.
I ask you to help me stop letting these wounds rule my life.
Teach me to forgive little by little.
To entrust to God what I cannot put right.
Not to repay evil with evil.
Not to let resentment steal my peace.
And if I myself have hurt someone,
grant me the humility to ask for forgiveness.
?️ Our Lady of the Rosary, grant me peace
Mary,
when my mind is troubled,
lead me back to Jesus.
When I want to control everything,
teach me to trust.
When I seek all the answers immediately,
teach me to wait.
When I look too far ahead and the future frightens me,
remind me that God asks of me only
to live faithfully the day that is given to me.
Grant me that peace which does not come from the absence of difficulties,
but from the certainty that God walks with me.
May this peace enter my home.
May it dwell in my words.
May it transform my outlook.
May it help me to become more patient,
more gentle,
more attentive
and more merciful.
❤️ Mary, always lead me to Jesus
Our Lady of the Rosary,
I know that all true devotion to you
leads us to your Son.
So never let me stop at you.
Take my hand
and lead me to Jesus.
When I pray the Rosary,
teach me to contemplate his face.
When I read the Gospel,
help me to welcome his Word.
When I receive the Eucharist,
prepare my heart for His presence.
When I fall,
lead me to His forgiveness.
When I am happy,
teach me to thank Him.
And when the time comes to leave this earth,
stay close to me, as I ask of you
every time I say:
‘Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.’
? Our Lady of the Rosary, I entrust myself to you
