First, say the “Come Holy Ghost”… then make the offering before the rosary. It might also be a good idea to add the invocation from the Litany of the Holy Ghost, “Holy Ghost, teach us to pray well.”
I unite with all the saints in heaven, and with all the just on earth, and with all the faithful here present. I unite with Thee O my Jesus, in order to praise worthily Thy holy Mother, and to praise Thee in her and through her. I renounce all the distractions I may have while saying this rosary, which I wish to say with modesty, attention, and devotion, and to say it as if it were to be the last of my life.
We offer Thee, O most Holy Trinity this Creed in honor of all the mysteries of our faith; this Our Father and these three Hail Marys in honor of the unity of Thy essence and the Trinity of Thy Persons. We ask of Thee a live faith, a firm hope, an ardent charity, and (holy perseverance). Amen.
CONCLUDING PRAYER AFTER THE 15 MYSTERIES ARE SAID:
We beseech Thee, dear Lord Jesus, by the fifteen mysteries of Thy life, death and Passion, by Thy glory and the merits of Thy Blessed Mother, to convert sinners and help the dying, to deliver the holy souls in purgatory, ( and to sanctify every little child dying in the womb),* and to give us all Thy grace so we may live well and die well–and please give us the Light of Thy glory later on so that we may see Thee face to face, and love Thee for all eternity. Amen. So be it. God alone.
- In St. Louis de Montfort’s time, they did not have millions of children dying in the womb from abortion, so I added that petition to his prayer.
