Rosary for the Church and the Pope

We pray with Mary, Mother of the Church.

The Church is born from the side of Christ and the gift of the Spirit, and walks through the world sustained by the prayer of her children. The Rosary unites us to Mary, Mother of the Church, to ask for the Pope, for the pastors and for all the baptized. Praying it with serenity, the desire for communion, fidelity to the faith received and the desire for a holy life grows in us.

Suggested mysteries: Glory
Spiritual fruit: Communion, faithfulness and holiness
When I pray: For the Church, the Pope and the Communities

How to pray it

Pray the Holy Rosary as usual - sign of the Cross, Creed, and every mystery with his Father, ten Avemarias and Gloria. Before you start, do the initial prayer; in every ten, you welcome the proposed intention; at the end, the final prayer. If you want to pray it guided step by step, enter into Begin the Rosary.

Opening prayer

Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, who was in prayer with the apostles waiting for the Spirit, I come to you to entrust you to the whole family of believers. Take in your heart the Pope, the bishops and priests, the parishes and communities, and every baptized one. Present to your Son and raise us the gift of communion, fidelity to faith and the sincere desire for holiness. May the Church be an open house and a sign of hope for the world. Amen.
