Rosary for the elderly

We pray with Mary for our elders.

meditated rosary

Our elders keep in their hearts years of faith, work and quiet love. The Rosary is a good way to thank them and to accompany them: to put before Mary the grandparents, those who live alone and those who approach the end of their path. Praying it slowly, we learn to look at old age with respect and to support, with the Virgin, the hope of life that does not end.

Suggested mysteries: Glory

Spiritual fruit: Gratitude, comfort and hope

When I pray: For grandparents and elders of the family

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 who you accompany every age of life, I come to you thinking of our elders. He welcomes the grandparents and those who have filled so many years with good; he supports those who live alone, the sick and those who care for them. You, who have waited with faith for the fulfillment of God's promises, teach us to honor old age and to trust in the eternal life that awaits us. Amen.

Mysteries and meditations

Glorious Mysteries - for this purpose:

1st mystery - The Resurrection of the Lord

The Risen Christ defeated death and opened a way of life for all. This is the hope that sustains our elders: that the best is not left behind, but is waiting in God.

Intent of this ten: by the grandparents and elders of the family.

2nd mystery - The Ascension of the Lord

Jesus goes up to the Father and prepares a place for his own. We ask for those who live alone, that they know that no corner of their life is left out of the sight of God.

Intent of this ten: for the elders who live alone.

3rd mystery - The coming of the Holy Spirit

The Spirit comforts and gives strength to the disciples. We ask for it for the sick and dependent, so that they feel close and do not lack the breath of faith.

Intent of this ten: for the elderly sick and dependent.

4th mystery - The Assumption of Mary

The Virgin is brought in body and soul to heaven, the first of what God prepares for her children. We pray for those who care for the elders, that they may see in that service a way of love.

Intent of this ten: for those who care for our elders.

5th mystery - The coronation of Mary as Queen

Mary, crowned with glory, is Mother and refuge in the last stage of the road. We entrust those who come to the end of their lives to face it with peace and hope.

Intent of this ten: for those who approach the end of their lives.

Closing prayer

Our Mother, we entrust to you the fruit of this Rosary prayed for by our elders. Save the grandparents and those who have sown so well; comfort those who are alone and support those who suffer. May your heart rest in the hope of eternal life and never lack a close hand. To you, Queen of heaven, we entrust your years and your future. Amen.
