Rosary for the poor

Rosary for the poor

We pray with Mary, who called herself the handmaid of the Lord.

meditated rosary

The Gospel reminds us that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Christ. As we pray this Rosary with Mary, the humble and poor woman who sang that the Lord exalts the humble, we place before God those who are hungry, those who are homeless, and the most forgotten. May charity, justice, and compassion grow within us.

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

Mary, the humble slave of the Lord, you proclaimed that God fills the hungry with goods and exalts the humble. I come to entrust you to the poor of the land: those who are hungry, those who sleep homeless, migrants and children without resources. Move my heart to compassion and works. He welcomes this plea and presents it to Jesus, who became poor for us.

Mysteries and meditations

Joyful Mysteries — for this intention:

1st mystery - The Annunciation

Mary recognizes herself as the Lord's servant and places herself at his service. God chooses the humble and the small to accomplish his greatest works.

Intent of this ten: for those who are hungry, that they may not lack the daily bread.
2nd mystery - The Visitation

Mary sets out to serve, and her song proclaims that God casts down the powerful and exalts the humble. Charity is always expressed in concrete actions.

Intent of this ten: for those who have no roof, that they may find shelter and hands to host them.
3rd mystery - The Birth of Jesus

The Savior is born in a manger, with no room at the inn. Christ identifies with those who have no place in this world.

Intent of this ten: for migrants, that they may be received with dignity and hospitality.
4th mystery - The Presentation of Jesus in the temple

Mary and Joseph, simple people, offer the offering of the poor. God looks with tenderness upon the little ones and those who have nothing.

Intent of this ten: for children without resources, to receive care, food and future.
5th mystery - The Child Jesus lost and found in the temple

Mary and Joseph searched tirelessly until they found their Son. Whoever seeks Christ finds him in the face of the most needy.

Intent of this ten: for those who help the poor, to serve with constancy and joy.

Closing prayer

Mother of the poor, receive the fruit of this Rosary. Let us not close our eyes to those who are in need, but recognize in him the face of your Son. It awakens in us the charity that it shares, the justice that repairs and the compassion that becomes closeness. Hold those who help and comfort those who have nothing. Amen.

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