Prayer for the Dead - Queen of the Rosary


A very beautiful prayer and somehow today I was so touched after reciting it...though I have been reciting it for ages...today was exceptional...may be that's why Mother Mary says: To pray with our heart and not our lips...have a blessed day to all.

Queen of the Rosary
Thou didst rejoice in God thy Savior, consenting to be the Mother of Him who would bring salvation to souls.
Thou didst announce His mercy as extending from generation to generation.
Thou didst proclaim His kindness to the lowly, His mercy in feeding the hungry, His pity in remembering His servants.
Mother of Jesus, appeal to Him, therefore, on behalf of his servants, the souls in purgatory crying from the depths and hungering for the countenance of God, that they too may rejoice in His salvation.

Queen of the Rosary
Thou didst suffer with Jesus in His Passion, accepting the office of Mother of mankind at the foot of the cross.
Behold, Mother, thy children whom He commended to thy care.
Behold the souls ransomed with the blood of thy Son.
Behold the just suffering in purgatory, who ask to be remembered by thee.
Mother of mankind, speak to thy son on behalf of those souls we commend to thee, that they may be speedily released from pain and admitted to Paradise, to the company of Jesus and thee.

Queen of the Rosary
Thou has be enthroned in heaven, not only for thine own sake but also for ours.
To thy hands has been committed the distribution of favors and graces.
Thy power reaches from the Church Triumphant to the Church Militant and the Church Suffering.
To Thee then, O Queen of mercy, who dwells in the heavens, we banished children of Eve lift up our eyes and hearts on behalf of the souls of the departed, that thou look with favor upon them and bring them from captivity into the freedom of glorious Zion.

Queen of the Rosary
help our dear ones who have departed this life; our spouse, parents,pastors,relatives,friends,benefactors,associates of the rosary and every suffering and deserving soul, that their night of sorrow being ended they may be born to the eternal dawn.
Offer for them thy joys,sorrows,glories, that thy power may supply what is lacking in our won, thy holiness for our sinfulness, thy love for our indifference, thy power for our weakness.
Win for those whom we have lost, the companionship of angels and saints in dwellings of light and peace; obtain for us that we may rejoin them one day in happiness unending.

Amen.
