The “Seven Sorrows Of Mary Rosary” invites the faithful to meditate deeply on the seven moments of intense sorrow that pierced the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout her life. This ancient devotion, also known as the Rosary of the Seven Dolors, calls us to accompany Our Lady through her greatest sufferings as the Mother of our Savior. Each of the seven sorrows is rooted in Scripture and represents a “sword” that pierced Mary’s heart.
Opening Prayer: My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg you to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer. Amen.
Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

(Luke 2: 41-50)
Let us enter into the profound anguish that consumed Mary’s heart during the three days of desperate searching when the twelve-year-old Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, unbeknownst to His parents, leaving Mary and Joseph to seek Him with overwhelming anxiety until they found Him teaching in the temple.
The Fourth Sorrow of Mary – Mary Meets Jesus Carrying the Cross
(Luke 23: 27-29)

The Fifth Sorrow of Mary – Mary Stands at the Foot of the Cross
(John 19: 25-30)

(John 19:38-40)

Grant us this favor, O Savior of the world, Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
The “Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel” devotion was revealed by Our Lord Jesus Christ to the Portuguese Carmelite nun Antónia d’Astónaco in 1751. This prayer honors Saint Michael the Archangel and the nine choirs of angels through nine salutations. The devotion carries Christ’s own promise that whoever prays this chaplet daily will be accompanied by an angel from each of the nine choirs during their lifetime and at the hour of death, making it both a shield of protection and a pathway to the heavenly court.
V:/ O God, come to my assistance, R:/ O Lord, make haste to help me.

“The Hopeful Mysteries” invite the faithful to meditate on key moments in salvation history prior to the Annunciation. Although not traditional mysteries of the Rosary, they were approved by Bishop William Wack of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, who declared them “worthy of pious devotion anywhere,” and received their Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat on August 22, 2024.
In the beginning, God created man and woman in His own image, placing them in paradise where they walked with Him in perfect harmony. Yet when our first parents chose disobedience, God did not abandon them to despair. Even as He spoke of consequences, the Lord proclaimed the first promise of salvation: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike at your head, and you will strike at his heel” (Genesis 3:15). In this first ray of hope — we see God’s eternal plan to redeem humanity through His Son.
2nd Mystery
The Flood
When the earth was filled with violence and corruption, God chose to begin anew through righteous Noah and his family. As the waters receded and Noah offered sacrifice, the Lord established His covenant with all creation, placing the rainbow in the sky as an eternal sign: “Never again will I destroy the earth by flood”(Genesis 9:11). This universal covenant reveals God’s enduring mercy and His faithful commitment to preserve humanity, preparing the way for an even greater covenant to come.
3rd Mystery
The Sacrifice of Abraham
When God tested Abraham’s faith by asking for his beloved son Isaac, the patriarch’s unwavering obedience revealed the depth of trust possible between God and man. As Abraham raised the knife, the Angel of the Lord stayed his hand, providing a ram for sacrifice. “Because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars” (Genesis 22:16-17). This prefigures the Father’s gift of His only Son and promises that through Abraham’s lineage, all nations would be blessed.
4th Mystery
The Passover
In Egypt’s darkest hour, God heard the cries of His enslaved people and sent Moses to lead them to freedom. Through the blood of the paschal lamb painted on their doorposts, death passed over the Israelites, and Pharaoh finally released them. “This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall celebrate as a perpetual ordinance” (Exodus 12:14). The Passover becomes the eternal sign of God’s power to deliver His people from bondage, pointing toward the ultimate Passover Lamb who would free all humanity from the slavery of sin.
5th Mystery
The Immaculate Conception
From all eternity, God prepared a dwelling place worthy of His Son. In His infinite love, He preserved one daughter of Eve from the stain of original sin, filling her with grace from the first moment of her existence. “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you”(Luke 1:28). Mary’s Immaculate Conception represents the culmination of God’s hopeful preparation throughout salvation history—the spotless ark of the new covenant, through whom the Word would become flesh and dwell among us.
The Rosary for America is a powerful Marian devotion inspired by Our Lady of Medjugorje that systematically prays for the conversion and protection of our nation by pleading the Blood of Jesus over all fifty states and every level of government.
Listen as you read
In times of uncertainty and division, faithful Catholics have always turned to the powerful intercession of Our Lady through the Holy Rosary. The Rosary for America, also known as the Patriotic Rosary, offers believers a profound way to divine protection and mercy for our beloved nation.
A Devotion Born from Heavenly Inspiration
This special devotion calls upon the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to pour out God’s grace upon every corner of our nation, from the halls of government to the hearts of every citizen.
Unlike the traditional Rosary that meditates on the mysteries of Christ’s life, the Rosary for America focuses our prayers on the specific needs of our country.
The five decades are dedicated to different levels of government and civic life:
First Mystery: Prayer for the President and the Executive Branch Second Mystery: Prayer for the Supreme Court and the Judicial Branch Third Mystery: Prayer for Congress and the Legislative Branch Fourth Mystery: Prayer for State Governors, Legislatures, and Judicial Systems Fifth Mystery: Prayer for Local Government Officials
What makes this devotion particularly moving is how it systematically covers every state in the union. As we pray each Hail Mary, we plead the precious Blood of Jesus over each state and every soul within it. From Alabama to Wyoming, no corner of America is left uncovered by prayer.
It’s Not About Politics – It’s A Call for Conversion
While the Rosary for America includes prayers for government officials, its deeper purpose transcends political divisions. The prayer begins with a petition for “conversion of heart in all areas of our government” and extends to pray for the conversion of our entire country.
This isn’t about supporting any particular political party or agenda. Rather, it’s about recognizing that lasting change comes from spiritual conversion – from hearts turned toward God. When we pray for our leaders, we’re asking God to work in their hearts and grant them wisdom to serve the common good according to His will.
United in Prayer for Our Homeland
Whether we’re approaching Independence Day, Election Day, or simply living through ordinary time, the Rosary for America remains relevant. Our nation always needs prayer. Our leaders always need divine guidance. Our people always need God’s protection and mercy.
The Rosary for America stands as a beautiful reminder that our faith calls us to love both God and country, to seek both personal holiness and national renewal. In a time when our nation faces numerous challenges, this devotion offers hope rooted in the infinite mercy of God.
As we take up our beads to pray for America, we join our voices with countless faithful who throughout history have sought God’s blessing upon their homeland.
May our prayers rise like incense before the throne of God, pleading for His protection, guidance, and blessing upon the United States of America and all her people.

The “Surrender Rosary“(also known as “Rosary of Abandonment”) is a prayer devotion in which we surrender to Jesus, with complete trust and total abandonment, a heavy problem, circumstance, and situation that seems impossible for us to handle. In this devotion, we give to Jesus that in which is too heavy for us to handle, entrusting in His Divine Goodness to take care of it.
God come to my assistance. Lord make haste to help me.

To thee to we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
The “Rosary to God the Father“ reflects on five key moments in the Bible in which the mercy of God the Father is reflected and pondered upon. These mysteries reminds us that people can and should be a tool for spreading the love of the Father. By wholeheartedly saying “yes” to Him, we become part of a loving community, making us a shining example of God’s glory. These teachings also help us understand that facing challenges is a valuable gift. It allows us to show our love for the Father and gives Him the chance to reveal Himself to us in our everyday lives.
The Rosary of the Father is not a replacement or an alternative to Our Lady’s Rosary. It is intended to be prayed after praying Mary’s Rosary.
Opening Prayers O God come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me.

In the First Mystery, we contemplate the Triumph of the Father in the garden of Eden when, after the sin of Adam and Eve, He promises the coming of the Lord.
“The Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; she will strike at your head, while you strike at her heel.”

“The Angel said to Mary: “Do not fear Mary. You have found favor with God. You shall conceive and bear a son and give Him the name of Jesus. Great will be His dignity and He will be called the Son of the Most High; the Lord God will give Him the throne of David His Father. He will rule over the house of Jacob forever and His reign will be without end”. Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, let what you have said be done to me.”

In the Third Mystery, we contemplate the triumph of the Father in the garden of Gethsemane when He gives all His power to the Son.
And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me, yet not My will but Yours be done!” An angel then appeared to Him from heaven to strengthen Him. In His anguish He prayed with all the greater intensity, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

In the Fourth Mystery, we contemplate the triumph of the Father at the moment of every particular judgment.
While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.

In the Fifth Mystery, we contemplate the triumph of the Father at the moment of final judgment.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer. I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down from heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne cry out: “This is God’s dwelling among men. He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people and He shall be their God who is always with them. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away.”
