Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Reciting the Rosary is about way more than prayer by Scott Hahn

https://angelusnews.com/voices/hahn-rosary/

For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. | St Luke 1:48

Every time we pray the rosary, we fulfill that prophecy at least 50 times. We call the Virgin Mary “blessed,” using the words of Holy Writ. We address her with the greeting of the Angel Gabriel: Hail, full of grace! (St Luke 1:28). We proclaim her privileges, using the words of Elizabeth, her kinswoman: “Blessed are you among women!” (St Luke 1:42). To repeat these words is a delight, because they’re rich with meaning, amplified by the Gospel scenes that are the focus of our meditations.

The Rosary is a time-proven method of meditative prayer. For centuries the popes have recommended it, the saints have prayed it daily.

Oct. 7th is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. It used to be called the feast of Our Lady of Victory. That resonates with my experience with the beads, which I actually started praying while I was still a Protestant. Those prayers were answered, and the rest is my history.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
