The Secret of the Rosary

Of Mother of God Who has endowed thee With eminent holiness, A worthy attribute
Of this great dignity. Mother of God And our Mother
Our Advocate and Mediatrix
Thou who art the Treasurer of God's graces
And who dost dispense them
As thou seest fit
Oh, we beg of thee
Obtain for us
Soon
The forgiveness of our sins
And grant that we may be reconciled
With God's infinite Majesty.
Pray for us, sinners
Thou who art always filled with compassion
For those in need
Thou who wilt never despise sinners
Or turn them away
For but for them
Thou woulds't never have been
Mother of the Redeemer,
Pray for us
Now,
During this short life
So fraught with sorrow and uncertainty.
Pray for us now,
Now-because we can be sure of nothing
Except the present moment.
Pray for us now
That we are being attacked night and day By powerful and ruthless enemies Pray for us now
And at the hour of our death, So terrible and full of danger, When our strength is waning And our
spirits are sinking And our souls and bodies
Are worn out with fear and pain Pray for us then
At the hour of our death
