Rosary for persecuted Christians

We pray with Mary for the suffering Church.

meditated rosary

In many parts of the world, professing faith in Christ costs work, freedom or life. These brothers form the suffering Church, and their silent fidelity sustains the entire Christian community. To pray for them is to join their hope from a distance: by contemplating the glorious mysteries, we remember that Christ has overcome, that death has no last word and that the blood of the martyrs is not shed in vain.

Suggested mysteries: Glory

Spiritual fruit: Fortress, fidelity and communion with the persecuted Church

When I pray: For the Church suffering all over the world

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 and Queen of the martyrs, I come to you to pray for our brothers persecuted because of faith. Welcome those who are threatened, imprisoned or killed for following your Son, and those who cannot pray freely. It presents its fidelity to the risen Jesus, the winner of death, and gives them strength and comfort. May his testimony support the whole Church and may one day flourish, in his land, the freedom to believe and love God. Amen.

Mysteries and meditations

Glorious Mysteries - the victory of Christ, the hope of the martyrs, for this purpose:

1st mystery - The Resurrection of the Lord

Christ has overcome death: that is the rock on which the persecuted Church is held. Above all threats, whoever believes in Him knows that life triumphs over hatred.

Intent of this ten: by Christians persecuted by their faith.

2nd mystery - The Ascension of the Lord

Jesus goes up to heaven and precedes us in glory. Those who give their lives for Him today do not fall into the void, but go to meet him. We remember the martyrs of our time.

Intent of this ten: for the martyrs of today.

3rd mystery - The coming of the Holy Spirit

The Spirit fills the fearful apostles with courage. We ask for the same gift for those who live their faith in hiding, unable to meet or pray openly.

Intent of this ten: for those who cannot pray freely.

4th mystery - The Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Mary is welcomed in body and soul in heaven, the first of the victory that awaits the faithful. We entrust to those who respond to hatred with forgiveness, as their Son did on the Cross.

Intent of this ten: for those who forgive their persecutors.

5th mystery - The coronation of Mary as Queen

Mary reigns with Christ and intercede throughout all humanity. We call for religious freedom in the world, so that the right to seek and worship God is respected everywhere.

Intent of this ten: for religious freedom in the world.

Closing prayer

Our Mother, we entrust to you the fruit of this Rosary, prayed for by the persecuted Christians. Strengthen your faith, rinse your tears and make you never feel alone, sustained by the prayer of the whole Church. May his faithfulness embarrass us of our tibities and encourage us to confess without fear to your Son. Queen of martyrs, hasten the day when all peoples can worship God in freedom and in peace. Amen.
