Rosary for the sick

We pray with Mary for those who suffer in the body and the soul.

meditated rosary

When the disease comes, the words sometimes become exhausted and only the silent desire remains for the loved one to heal and rest. The Rosary offers us that simple channel: to put in the hands of Mary, next to the Cross of her Son, those who suffer today. Praying it slowly, the heart learns to wait with peace, to hold faith in the midst of pain and to entrust to the Lord what we cannot solve.

Suggested mysteries: Painful

Spiritual fruit: Hope, strength and confident abandonment

When I pray: In one's own illness or a loved one

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 stood by the Cross, I come to you with a heart filled with the disease that weighs on those I love. Take in your lap the sick, those who suffer in silence and those who care without rest. He presents his wounds to your Son Jesus, who knew the pain in his own flesh. Teach me to wait with faith, not to let go of the hand of the suffering and to trust in the goodness of God even when I do not understand. Amen.

Mysteries and meditations

Sorrowful Mysteries — for this intention:

1st mystery - The prayer of Jesus in the Garden

Jesus, distressed, asks the Father to pass the chalice from him, and yet he abandons himself to his will. Those who suffer the pain of the body find here someone who knew the fear and was not left alone.

Intent of this ten: for those who are suffering today.

2nd mystery - The flogging of the Lord

The wounds of Christ, blow after blow, speak to those who spend their days between treatments, tiredness and long nights. His hurt flesh accompanies that of the sick.

Intent of this ten: for the hospitalized and those who hope to heal.

3rd mystery - The coronation of thorns

crowned with mockery and pain, Jesus sustains the dignity of the suffering. We ask for those who watch by one bed, exhausted but faithful, holding another with tenderness.

Intent of this ten: for those who care for the sick.

4th mystery - Jesus with the cross way to Calvary

He falls and rises, helped by the Cyrenees and consoled by his Mother. Who feels the burden is too much can remember that no one is doomed to walk alone.

Intent of this ten: for those who have lost hope.

5th mystery - The crucifixion and death of the Lord

On the Cross, Jesus fully gives himself up and entrusts his spirit to the Father. That serene abandonment is the light we ask for those who approach the end of their field path.

Intent of this ten: for the agonizers and for a death in peace.

Closing prayer

Our mother, we entrust to you the fruit of this Rosary prayed for the sick. Hold your hope, ease your fatigue and make you feel your closeness to those who suffer and to those who accompany you. Let none be alone and let all discover, in the midst of pain, the firm hand of God. To you, who you watched by the Cross, we entrust bodies and souls. Amen.

"This prayer is spiritually accompanied, but it does not replace the necessary medical, psychological or pastoral care.

When you finish, you can offer this Rosary like a rose to the Virgin in the Rosary Garden.
