How we pray the Rosary of the Dawn, step by step, with the prayers of the official booklet. After these prayers we pray the mysteries of the day.
1
The grace of God the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, embrace and enlighten our hearts in the fire of Divine Love. Amen.
2
✠ By the sign of the Holy Cross, ✠ O Lord deliver us from all that is evil, ✠ In the Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit. Amen.
3
My Lord Jesus Christ, God and True Man, Creator, Father and Redeemer of mine; for being you who are, goodness infinite, and because I love you above all things, I grieve from the bottom of my heart that I have offended you; it weighs heavily on me because you can punish me with the pains of hell.
Helped by Your Divine Grace, I firmly propose never more to sin, to withdraw from all bad times, to confess and to fulfill the penance that was imposed upon me.
I offer you my life, actions and works to the satisfaction of all my sins, and as I beseech, so I trust in your kindness and infinite mercy that you may forgive me and give me thanks to amend me and to persevere in your holy love and service until the end of my life. Amen.
4
Lord, I unite my heart with all the Saints in heaven and with all the Just on earth; I unite with You, my Jesus, to praise Your holy Mother worthily and to praise You in her and through her. I renounce all the distractions that may come to me while I am praying this rosary.
5
Blessed Mother, I offer You this opening Creed to honor the faith You lived upon this earth and to ask You to permit me to share in that same faith.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (bowing the head) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
6
We offer you Lord, the Our Father, to adore you in your unity and we recognize you as the beginning and end of everything.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
7
We offer you, Holy Trinity, three Hail Marys, to thank you for all the mercies you have given Mary and those you have given us through her mediation.
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
8
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
9
“O God of whom Thy only son has bestowed upon us the benefits of eternal life, grant us the grace we ask for as we meditate on the Mysteries of this Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we must imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Our Lord Jesus Christ”. Amen.
