Twentieth Rose 

When the devil is working With might and main
To ensnare us and cast us into perdition.
Pray for us
At the turning point
When the die will be cast once and for all
And our lot for ever and ever
Will be heaven
Or hell.
Come to the help of thy poor children,
Gentle Mother of pity
And, oh, Advocate and Refuge of Sinners.
Protect us
At the hour of our death
And drive far from us
Our bitter enemies
The devils our accusers
Those with frightful presence
Fills us with dread. Light our path
Through the valley of the shadow of death.
Please, Mother Lead us
To thy Son's Judgment Seat And do not forsake us there.
Intercede for us
And ask thy Son to forgive us
And let us into the ranks of the blessed
Thy elect
In the realm of everlasting glory.
Amen. So be it."

No one could help admiring the beauty of the Holy Rosary which is made up of two heavenly things:
the Lord's Prayer and the Angelic Salutation. How could there possibly be any prayers more pleasing
to Almighty God and the Blessed Virgin, or any that are easier,  more precious or more helpful than
these two prayers? We should always have them in our hearts and on our lips to honor the Most
Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ
 our Savior, and His Most Holy Mother.
In addition, at the end of each decade it is very good to
add a Gloria Patri that is to say: "Glory be to the Father,

 The "Gloria Patri" was a happy innovation in the recitation of the Rosary. It is quite probably
that it can be attributed to Saint Louis de Montfort himself
