# Rosary - Prayers at the End of the Rosary ## Hail Holy Queen Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. V: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. ## Rosary Conclusion Prayer V: Let us pray, _R: O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation. Grant, we beseech You, that while meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, _have mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, _pray for us. ## Saint Michael Prayer St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. ## To You, o Blessed Joseph (Ad Te, Beate Ioseph) To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities. O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness. As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen. ## Prayer of Saint Gertrude Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen. ## Rosary Prayer for Priests O Jesus, our great High Priest, hear my humble prayers on behalf of Your priests. Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm hope and a burning love which will ever increase in the course of their priestly life. In their loneliness, comfort them. In their sorrows, strengthen them. In their frustrations, point out to them that it is through suffering that the soul is purified, and show them that they are needed by the Church; they are needed by souls; they are needed for the work of redemption. O Loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, take to your heart your sons who are close to you because of their priestly ordination and because of the power which they have received to carry on the work of Christ in a world which needs them so much. Be their comfort, be their joy, be their strength, and especially help them to live and to defend the ideal of consecrated celibacy. Amen. ## Prayer for Priestly Vocations O God, we earnestly beseech You to bless Your Church with many vocations to the Holy priesthood: men who will serve You with their whole strength and gladly spend their lives for Your Church, and to make You known and loved. Amen. Mary, Mother of Priests, obtain for us many holy priests. Amen. ## Prayer for the Intentions of the Holy Father Catholics who say the rosary in a group, or, individually before the Blessed Sacrament, may gain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions, which includes prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father. For the intentions of the Holy Father. Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. <!-- prayer-nav --> --- ← [[rosary-kibeho-seven-sorrows|Rosary of the Seven Sorrows]] | [[rosary-prayers|📿 The Holy Rosary]] | [[rosary-prayers-before-the-rosary|Rosary - Introductory Prayers]] →
