Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Grace, Rosa Mystica,
in honor of thy Divine Son, we prostrate ourselves at your feet
to implore God’s mercy.
We beg for help and grace, not relying on any merit of ours,
but on the kindness of your motherly heart,
and confident that you will grant our urgent requests.
Hail Mary…

Rosa Mystica, Mother of Jesus,
Queen of the Holy Rosary and Mother of the Church,
Mystical Body of Christ,
we implore the gifts of unity and peace for the world parched by discord,
and the graces to convert the souls of all your erring children.
Hail Mary…
Amen.

Rosa Mystica, Queen of the Apostles,
let flourish around the Eucharistic Altars
many religious and priestly vocations which,
with the holiness of lives and their burning zeal
for the salvation of the souls,
will spread throughout the world the Kingdom of your Jesus!
Fill us with your heavenly graces!

Hail Holy Queen… Rosa Mystica, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

Lord, grant your priests
a pure heart,
able to love only You;
a pure heart,
that knows no evil,
but is able to distinguish it,
to fight against it and to flee it;
a pure heart,
like that of a child,
inspired and longing for God,
Lord, grant your servants
a big heart,
open to Your thoughts
and closed for any
malicious ambition,
and for any regrettable
human competition

Lord, grant your priests
a strong heart,
prepared to cope with every difficulty,
every temptation, every weakness,
every boredom, every fatigue.

A heart, Lord, that is truly capable
to love, to understand,
to welcome, to serve,
to sacrifice,
blessed with a heart that palpitates
for Your feelings and thoughts.

Because the world needs hearts
who save and love souls
like Christ does.

Amen.
