Mystical Rose, be blessed, for the Eternal Father chose you as the keeper and dispenser of grace!

Mystical Rose, you give to whom you will, when you will and as much as you will; so we trust in you and open our hearts to you: let your light shine in our souls, let your motherly love set our hearts on fire, and fill them with your joy, your humility and your peace.

O Mary, full of grace, I beg you to help me, pleading that you grant me this request… You have promised us your motherly protection, O you who are full of all grace.

Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, You sent us Your Mother as a wonderful example of holiness and self-denial, and above all as a model to imitate and patroness of priests and all the faithful. We ask You to grant us Your help so that we may become more and more like Your holy Mother Mary, and may make reparation for those souls who were unable to do Your holy will, for Yours are the glory and the power for ever. Amen.
