Rosary for priests

Rosary for priests

We pray with Mary for the pastors of the Church.

meditated rosary

The priests give us Christ in the sacraments and walk to our side in the deepest moments of life. They also need to pray for their holiness, their fidelity and their perseverance. The Rosary invites us to support them in prayer, putting them next to Mary, who was always close to her Son and her own.

Suggested mysteries: Luminous
Spiritual fruit: Priestly holiness, fidelity and strength
When I pray: By a specific priest or by all the shepherds

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 priests, I come to you to pray for whom God has called to serve in His name. He accompanies the pastors of the Church: those who begin with illusion and those who have been given years, those who are happy and those who feel tired. Ask your Son Jesus to support them in faithfulness, keep them in holiness and renew their dedication every day. May we continue to receive Christ in his hands. Amen.

Mysteries and meditations

Luminous Mysteries — for this intention:

1st mystery - The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan

The Father proclaims Jesus as his beloved Son, and begins his public mission. We ask that every priest live as a beloved son of God and keep the vocation received faithful.

Intent of this ten: for the holiness of the priests.
2nd mystery - The weddings of Cana

Mary intercedes before her Son and the first sign is born. We entrust the priests who, faithful to his word, hold their "yes" day after day without turning back.

Intent of this ten: by his fidelity to the promise made to the Lord.
3rd mystery - The Kingdom's announcement and the call to conversion

Jesus walks the paths by preaching and healing. We pray for the priests who are spent serving, sometimes tired or alone, to find encouragement and company.

Intent of this ten: for the priests tired or living in solitude.
4th mystery - The Transfiguration of the Lord

On the mountain, the glory of Christ shines and strengthens the disciples before the trial. We ask for strength for priests who suffer persecution, slander or discouragement.

Intent of this ten: by the priests persecuted and tried.
5th mystery - The institution of the Eucharist

At the last Supper, Jesus gives himself up as bread and entrusts this gift to his own. The priesthood is born so that the Eucharist will not fail; we pray for the dead priests who so often celebrated it.

Intent of this ten: by the dead priests.

Closing prayer

Our mother, we entrust to you the fruit of this Rosary prayed for by the priests. Save your faithfulness, support your dedication and renew your joy of serving. It relieves those who are tired, comforts the persecuted and welcomes in your lap those who already rest in the Lord. May holy pastors never fail in the Church according to the heart of your Son. Amen.

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