Crown of the Rosary specific for the family

Crown of the Holy Rosary

with specific intentions for families

*** can also be recited as a chaplet ***

in this case instead of the 10 Hail Marys, on the small grains of the crown repeat 10 times:

Jesus, Joseph and Mary, help us:

Save, bless and care for our families and young people

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

O God come to save me.

O Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning and now and always,

forever and ever. Amen.

First Mystery

Giuseppe and Maria married

(pray for the unity of all families)

Holy Mary, always virgin Mother, you who were sweet and tender bride, faithful and God-fearing woman, be a model and support for all Christian brides. Accompany them on their marriage journey and make them always faithful to their vocation as wives and mothers; help them always put God first and live life with love and full self-giving.

St. Joseph, who were an honest husband, a hardworking and courageous man, be light and strength for all husbands. Help them to be faithful companions, excellent Christian fathers and devotees.

With Mary, she helps all families to remain always united in fidelity and respect, in the capacity for dialogue and forgiveness, in comparison and mutual understanding, in peace and love.

Our Father, 10 Ave Maria (or 10 Jesus Joseph and Mary help us: save, bless and guard our families and young people), Glory to the Father

Second Mystery

The birth of Jesus

(pray for Grace to become parents and for the sake of children)

Holy Mary, you who have had the joy of holding the adored Jesus in your arms, of holding him to your heart and of seeing him grow in holiness and wisdom, intercede for all the spouses so that everyone will be gladdened by the joy of the birth of healthy children and good. Protect all children, guide them on the path of life. Get constant protection from God for them and kindle strong faith in their hearts.

Saint Joseph, the putative father of Jesus, who always provided the guardian of the divine child, protect all our children in every moment of their life, in particular that of childhood and adolescence.

Our Father, 10 Ave Maria (or 10 Jesus Giuseppe and Maria ...), Glory be to the Father

Third Mystery

The Holy Family's flight to Egypt

(pray for difficult and painful moments, for moral and material problems)

Saint Mary, you who have experienced pains and difficulties when with Joseph and the little Jesus you had to abandon Nazareth, your affections and all your safety to go to live in a foreign country trusting in divine Providence, help, we pray you, also all our families who find themselves in fear and anguish about work, home, illness of some loved one and all those situations that make it difficult to face every new day.

Saint Joseph who defended the Holy Family from every danger and helped you in every need, show yourself a powerful protector of all our families and help all their material needs. Get honest work for everyone and help families in need to find a decent solution to their economic problems.

Our Father, 10 Ave Maria (or 10 Jesus Giuseppe and Maria ...), Glory be to the Father

Fourth Mystery

The loss and finding of Jesus in the temple

(pray for all young people in difficulty)

Holy Mary, you who lived the pain of not finding Your beloved Son for three days,

it comforts the hearts of many mothers who see their children lost in sin or burned by drugs, alcohol, various addictions, wrong companies, mistakes made.

Guide them on the right path that leads them to salvation and true freedom.

Just like you, all these distressed mothers savor the joy of finding their children, now lost in the deceptions of the world.

Saint Joseph, be the custodian of these young people and show them their powerful intercessor, helping them to break the deceptions and errors in which they have fallen, to return to being true children of God,

free from all evil.

Our Father, 10 Ave Maria (or 10 Jesus Giuseppe and Maria ...), Glory be to the Father

Fifth Mystery

The miracle of wine at the wedding at Cana

(pray for the good of families in difficulty and divided)

Holy Mary, woman attentive to the needs of every man, you who first saw the needs of the married couple in Cana, and who with gentleness and humility urged your Son to transform the water of the jars into wine, pray to Jesus also today and ask him to transform that water that now circulates in the hearts and lives of many married couples in difficulty or even divided into a "living wine of dripping Love". Rekindle a strong mutual love in them.

St. Joseph, who was a faithful and integrity husband, accompanies those spouses who have betrayed the Sacrament of Marriage to conjugal fidelity and help them return to their families to restore the unity of the marriage bond.

Our Father, 10 Ave Maria (or 10 Jesus Giuseppe and Maria ...), Glory be to the Father

Hail, O Queen, mother of mercy,

life, sweetness and our hope, hello.

We turn to you, exiled children of Eve:

we sigh, groaning and weeping in this valley of tears.

Come on then, our lawyer,

turn your merciful eyes upon us.

And show us, after this exile, Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb.

Or merciful, or pious, or sweet Virgin Mary.

Short prayers:

For married couples united: Jesus Joseph and Mary / keep us always united / in peace and harmony

For couples in difficulty: Jesus Joseph and Mary / put back in our (their) heart / a strong mutual love

For the married couples divided: Jesus Joseph and Mary / bring back / who has gone away
