HOW TO PRAY THE PRO-LIFE ROSARY
Begin the Holy Rosary as usual with the Apostles Creek and Our Father. The three Hail Mary’s are purple and represent the Lord’s Passion and Death: Now pray:
Lord, I offer these three Hail Mary’s for an increase in Faith, Hope, and Love in all people so that all people will always CHOOSE LIFE, and I also offer them in reparation for the suffering you endure each time an unborn babe is killed, each time someone is euthanized, each time death overcome life in this world. Amen
First Decade (aqua-blue and clear/white beads): State the Mystery of the day and then pray:
Dear Lord, Dear Mother Mary, every aqua bead in this decade is special, for on it I pray that ‘Hail Mary’ for the intentions of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and on every clear/white bead, I say that ‘Hail Mary’ for Peace in our world. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on us! Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us! Amen
Second Decade (red and clear or white beads): State the Mystery of the day and the pray:
Bearer of Mercy, on every “red” ‘Hail Mary’, I pray in reparation for the blood spilled from every baby wrenched from its mother’s womb through abortion. I know that even as you hold and comfort each of these precious little ones, the horror of their slaughter screams for justice to be meted out upon our world. May these “red” ‘Hail Mary’s’ be a source of reparation for our sin. I also offer each “white/clear” ‘Hail Mary’ for the mothers and fathers of these aborted little ones, that they may receive the grace to repent of this sin, turn to Jesus, and receive the gift of salvation with open hearts. Heal them of the emotional and psychological wounds that this sin has caused as you pour out the graces of conversion upon them. Let them now witness for life! Amen
Third Decade (black and clear/white beads): State the Mystery of the day: The black beads are symbolic for the entire medical profession that participates in pro-death activities. All doctors, nurses, and assistants, helpers of every type that contribute to abortion, euthanasia, anti-life practices of every sort. Every “clear/white” ‘Hail Mary’ is for their conversion, repentance, and courage in standing against this crimson tide of death! Now pray:
Lord Jesus; Mother Mary, in this decade I offer reparation for all the sins of the medical personnel that act in the interest of death in our society and in our world. I plead also for their conversion to your truth. Let them see the truth of what they are doing, see the horror of it, rend their hearts in repentance, then work for Life and for you Jesus, all the rest of their days. Amen
Fourth Decade (red, clear/white, and blue beads): State the Mystery of the day and pray:
Lord Jesus, Source of All Truth; Mary, Our Lady of All Peoples with every “red” ‘Hail Mary’ I pray that every bad, anti-life law in our nation and world be reversed. With every “clear/white” ‘Hail Mary’, I pray for protection and strengthening of every pro-life laws in existence. With every “blue” ‘Hail Mary’, I petition for new and strong pro-life laws to be enacted in our nation and in your world. Amen
Fifth Decade (green and clear/white beads): State the Mystery of the Day: The color green is symbolic of hope. Our Hope is Jesus Christ and the Life in the Holy Spirit He offers to us if we but receive it. Because of our hope in Jesus we have faith that one day our hope for mercy, justice, truth, peace and life will be fully realized. Now Pray:
Lord Jesus, I thank you for your incarnation in our human flesh. You were formed in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Your humanity at the moment of your conception gives us, each and every one, at the moment of your conception. Had Satan had His way, you too would have been torn from your mother’s womb, never to be born, and never to fulfill your destiny in the particular manner in which you did fulfill it. On every “green” “hail Mary” I thank you for those who in any way work for life. Give them continued courage, strength, peace of heart, and love. Protect them from all evil and increase their witness in this nation and in this world. Strengthen their families to understand the importance of their work and to support them in their stand for life.
Mother Mary, our mother under the titles of Our Lady of Guadeloupe, Mother of Perpetual Help, Queen of Peace, Our Lady of New Life, join us in our intercession for the end of all pro-death, pro-choice activities, Crush the dead of evil in our nation, our world, and in our personal lives. Roll back the crimson holocaust. With every “clear/white” ‘Hail Mary’ of this decade advance the cause of your Divine Son, Jesus, the Incarnate Word! Stay the hand of Chastisement, and if it must fall – Protect your children. Amen
- Spiritual Adoption: “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”
- Parents’ Prayer: All praise to You, Lord Jesus, Lover of children: Bless our family, and help us to lead our children to You. Give us light and strength, and courage when our task is difficult. Let Your Spirit fill us with love and peace, so that we may help our children to love You. All Glory and praise are Yours, Lord Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen
- Prayer from the Angels of the Unborn: Dear Blessed Mother, Protectress and Mother of all, take into your charge the unborn children of the world. Place in the hearts of all mothers a special and unselfish love of their unborn children, and the realization that all life is God-given. Change the hearts of those in governments to see that they must not condone the slaughter of the unborn. Be our advocate before the throne of God, dear Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen
- Prayer to Protect Life: Loving God, I thank you for the gift of life you gave and continue to give to me and to all of us. Merciful God, I ask your pardon and forgiveness for my own failure and the failure of all people to respect and foster all forms of life in our universe. Gracious God, I pray that with your grace, I and all people will reverence, protect, and promote all life and that we will be especially sensitive to the life of the unborn, the abused, neglected, disabled, and the elderly. I pray, too, that all who make decisions about life in any form will do so with wisdom, love and courage. Living God, I praise and glorify you as Father, Source of all life, as Son, Savior of our lives, and as Spirit, Sanctifier of our lives. Amen
