_*SHALOM PRAYER WARRIORS.*_ _*54 DAY ROSARY NOVENA.*_ _*DAY 42*, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH 2025 - THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES *(In Thanksgiving).*_ _*Prayer before the recitation of the Sorrowful Mysteries:*_ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Say *One Hail Mary* *Prayer for the 27 days of thanksgiving:* Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail! At your feet I humbly kneel to offer you a crown of roses - blood-red roses to remind you of the passion of your son, with whom you did so fully partake of its bitterness - each rose recalling a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace. O Holy Queen, dispenser of God’s graces and Mother of all who invoke you! You cannot look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As you receive my gift, so will you receive my thanks; from your bounty you have given me the help I so earnestly and trustingly sought, even if I do not yet fully comprehend your wisdom. I despaired not of what I asked of you. And you have truly shown yourself my Mother! Say the *Apostles Creed*: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son, Our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen _One *Our Father*, Three *Hail Marys*, One *Glory Be to the Father*._ ✽¸.••.¸✽ ¸.••.¸✽¸.••.¸✽ The First Sorrowful Mystery - *The Agony In the Garden* O most sorrowful Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Agony of Our Lord in the Garden, when in the Garden of Olives your son saw the sins of the world unfolded before him, and his precious blood flowed from every pore at the vision of the torture and death he was to undergo, and he cried in anguish, “Abba! Father! If it be possible, let this chalice pass from me,” but immediately resigning himself to his Father’s will, he said, “Not as I will, but as you will,” I humbly pray: Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus". I bind these blood-red roses with a petition for the virtue of resignation to the will of God and humbly lay this bouquet at your feet. ✽¸.••.¸✽ ¸.••.¸✽¸.••.¸✽ The Second Sorrowful Mystery - *The Scourging At the Pillar* O most sorrowful Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Scourging of Our Lord, when at Pilate’s command your son was stripped of his garments and bound to a pillar, his body lacerated from head to foot with cruel whips, and his flesh torn away until his mortified body could bear no more, I humbly pray: Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father.

Abide with me forever: you in me, and I in you, in time and in eternity, in Mary. *Prayer during 27 days of thanksgiving:* Sweet Mother Mary, I offer you this Spiritual Communion to bind my bouquets in a wreath to place upon your brow in thanksgiving for *(specify request)*, which you in your love have obtained for me, even if I do not yet fully comprehend your wisdom. *Say One Hail Mary.* ✽¸.••.¸✽ ¸.••.¸✽¸.••.¸✽ *Hail Holy Queen*, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards 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. *Let Us Pray:* O God, whose only-begotten Son, by his life, death and resurrection has purchased for us the reward of eternal life, grant we beseech you, that meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen May the divine assistance remain always with us. Amen. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. _*MEMORARE*_ Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
