Rosary for the children

We pray with Mary for our children.

meditated rosary

No mother knows the heart of a son like Mary. In praying this Rosary we put our own - small or old, close or far away - in their hands to learn from it to love them patiently and to trust them without fear of God. There is no distance that a mother's prayer cannot go through.

Suggested mysteries: Joyful

Spiritual fruit: Trust, patience and abandonment of children in the hands of God

When I pray: For the young or older children, for those who have moved away from the faith and for those who suffer

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

Our Mother, Virgin Mary, who you carried Jesus into your bosom and saw him grow up step by step, today I bring you the name of my children. You who know the love and also the restlessness of every mother and father, welcome in your heart each of them. Teach me to love them as God wants them, to wait patiently and to release them into their hands. Present this prayer to your Son and keep them always under your cloak.

Mysteries and meditations

Joyful Mysteries — for this intention:

1st mystery - The Annunciation

Mary says "yes" to a life she still doesn't fully understand, and she trusts. Thus we also say "yes" to the children whom God trusts us, not knowing what will become of them.

Intent of this ten: for the little children, that they may grow healthy and surrounded with love.

2nd mystery - The Visitation

Mary is on her way to serve and accompany; she takes Jesus where she goes. We ask to be able to accompany our children without suffocating them, present and available.

Intent of this ten: for the adolescent children, to feel accompanied in their search.

3rd mystery - The Birth of Jesus

In the poverty of the manger, Mary welcomes her Son with simple tenderness. Thus we want to receive our people every day: with gratitude, without demanding, opening their hearts.

Intent of this ten: for the children who suffer - in the body, in the mood or in their circumstances - so that they may not lack comfort.

4th mystery - The Presentation in the Temple

Mary offers Jesus to God and hears that a sword will pass through her soul. We learn to give our children to God, accepting that their life is their own and does not belong to us.

Intent of this ten: for the children who have already left this world, that they may rest in the peace of God.

5th mystery - The Child Jesus found in the Temple

Mary seeks him with anguish three days and finds him in the Father's house. When a child seems far away, this scene holds us: the one who loses sight is not lost from the hands of God, and there is always a reencounter.

Intent of this ten: for the children who have moved away from faith, with the serene hope of a new encounter.

Closing prayer

Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, I entrust to you the fruit of this Rosary. Hold my children in their joys and in their trials; be light for those who walk in the dark and shelter for those who suffer. Give me a patient heart that can wait, love and pray without getting tired. And when I lack the words, be the one who continues to pray for them. Amen.

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