The Rosary
Blessed Mother, Virgin Mary,
Queen of Heaven and the Earth,
you were chosen by the Father
to give His son a human birth.
Exalted high above all women,
that is rightfully your place.
From the moment of your conception,
always sinless, full of grace.

You the model of humility
and purity for us,
ask so often that we pray
the rosary, it's so precious.
The effect it has on Satan
is to bind him with a chain,
thereby stopping him,
along with all his evil plans to reign.

Meditation on the mysteries
is the most important part.
When we pray each Hail Mary,
always praying from the heart.
Joyful, luminous and sorrowful,
and then the glorious --
it is true, the rosary is a
prayer that's most efficacious.

Let us heed what you have told us
and each day take up our beads,
praying with a holy fervor
for the world and all its needs.
It's been said that as we pray it
something special forms and grows.
On your head appears a crown
of lovely flowers -- each one a rose.
