The Sign of the Cross In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Latin: In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Latin: Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae; et in Jesum Christum, Filium Ejus unicum, Dominum nostrum; qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus et sepultus; descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, Sanctam Ecclesiam Catholicam, Sanctorum Communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, et vitam aeternam. Amen. The Our Father Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Latin: Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur Nomen Tuum, adveniat regnum Tuum, fiat voluntas Tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris, et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
The Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee; blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.

The Fatima Decade Prayer O my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need.* Latin: O mi Jesu, dimitte nobis peccata nostra; libera nos ab ignibus inferni; perduc omnes animas in caelum, praesertim maxime indigentes.
* In Her third apparition at Fatima (July 13, 1917), Our Lady taught the three shepherd children to add this short prayer after each decade of the Rosary.
Hail, Holy Queen Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail 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 vale of tears. Turn then, 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. V.

Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris

The Family Rosary Give me one million families praying the Rosary and the world is saved. Blessed Pope Pius IX We have all heard that the family that prays together stays together. It seems that in our difficult times, in which the family is continuously assaulted from almost every direction, the family needs the weapon of prayer more than ever. But how should the family pray? St. Francis de Sales said that the greatest method of praying is the Rosary. When the family comes together to pray the Rosary, they are complying with a request made by Our Lady of Fatima in each of Her apparitions. Blessed Jacinta of Fatima, the youngest member of her family, was the one who convinced her family to pray the family Rosary together. We also should try to establish this most efficacious custom in our families. Prayer Groups In his book The Secret of the Rosary, St. Louis de Montfort lists the following benefits to the practice of public group prayer, especially the Rosary: 1. Normally, our minds are far more alert during public prayer than when we pray alone. 2. When we pray in common, the prayer of each one belongs to all. We make one great prayer together, so that if one person is not praying well, someone else in the same gathering who prays better may make up for his deficiency. In this way, those who are strong uphold the weak. Those who are fervent inspire the lukewarm. 3. One who prays his Rosary alone only gains the merit of that one Rosary. But if he prays it together with others, he gains the merit of each Rosary. This is the law of public prayer. 4. Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer, to appease the anger of God, and to call down His mercy. Holy Mother Church, guided

by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering. 5. If the faithful pray five decades of the Rosary in company with others, whether in public or private, they may gain an indulgence of ten years, once a day. A plenary indulgence can be gained on the last Sunday of the month with the addition of detachment from venial sin, Confession, Communion, a visit to a church and prayers for the intentions of the Pope if they perform such recitation at least three times in any of the preceding weeks. The Block Rosary The Block Rosary consists of groups of people living within close proximity of each other praying the Rosary for the Church, their families, their communities and their country, once a week. It is suggested that they especially pray for the Pope and bishops, so that they do their part to bring peace to the world by consecrating Russia in the form requested by Our Lady at Fatima. The group meets at a different participants home each week at the same day and time. They should not serve refreshments or have discussions or long conversations on these occasions, as it is not a social event. The group should not let the Block Rosary in its area lose its spiritual purpose little by little by letting it turn into a social event. Therefore prayer groups, and especially the Block Rosary, are ways in which we can truly come together to draw down grace and mercy from God through the hands of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When we pray in groups, we as members of the Church Militant strike a powerful blow against Gods enemies. Let us therefore gather together to pray, and commit to reciting the Rosary together once a week, and thus doing our part to convert sinners and bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Universal Living Rosary The Living Rosary is a special way to join your prayers with those of others, through the powerful prayer of Our Ladys Rosary. The Living Rosary Association was founded in 1826 by Venerable Pauline Marie Jaricot. Being a member of the Living Rosary consists in enrolling with the Association, and upon being assigned one decade of the Rosary, reciting it faithfully every day for the rest of ones life. One is not bound to fulfill this

condition under pain of sin, but one must intend to remain faithful. Ones decade may be prayed any time during the day. The indulgences granted to this devotion include all those of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. Fourteen other members decades will constitute the remainder of the fifteen-decade Rosary. Thus the individual unites his prayers with those of fourteen others, who together pray an entire fifteen-decade Rosary every day. Pauline Jaricots idea was to form a prayer group consisting of the good, the mediocre and those individuals who had only good will 15 coals: one being well lighted, three or four partially so and the others not at all. Bring them together and you have a furnace!
