How to Pray the Rosary23. December, 2011Homepage ImagesComments Off on How to Pray the RosaryHow to Pray the Rosary
Each succeeding decade is prayed in a similar manner by recalling the appropriate mystery, reciting the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, the Glory Be to the Father, and the Fatima prayer while reflecting on the mystery. The Sign of the Cross In the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen 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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated 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 Spirit, The Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Our Father Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Glory Be To The Father Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Fatima Prayer O my Jesus, have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy. Amen. The Hail Holy Queen 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 valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Let us pray O God whose only-begotten Son, by his Life, Death and Resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant we beseech you, that we who meditate on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary, may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. The Joyful Mysteries

The History of Ranger Rosary23. December, 2011Homepage ImagesComments Off on The History of Ranger RosaryAs of 2016, over one million rosaries have been made, blessed, and sent wherever our troops are stationed. What began at St Marys Annapolis, MD at the start of the war in the Mid East has now spread all over the country. Free combat rosaries have been requested and sent to over 700 Chaplains and the requests continue. Some larger bases require 1000 a month. The Ranger Rosary Network consists of 30 larger church groups and dozens of smaller groups and individuals. The larger groups must support themselves and buy their own supplies. They are given their own Chaplains to serve. For small groups and individuals, we can mail out free starter kits to anyone interested. They consist of beads, a crucifix and parachute cord to make 5 rosaries and a finish blessed rosary as an example. When they return them to us we check to see if they are made correctly, cut and burn the ends, have them blessed with ours at the Mass after the weekly meeting and all are mailed together. Our shipping costs alone this year for the rosaries and the starter kits was $3500. We have answered the requests for over 1500 starter kits! Call 410-990-4100 ext 4714 or e-mail rangerrosaryinc@verizon.net to request a starter kit. The rosaries are offered in different color combinations. The Army and Marines like the black and green, the desert brown is popular and the Navy asks for blue. All the military academys give them out to their graduates! The cords are parachute material, the beads are dark and will not rattle or relect light and the crosses are dark black or brown to insure the safety of our service men and women especially in battle The chaplains say the go like hotcakes. Hopefully these rosaries will be taken with them when they return home. It will always remind them of Our Lady’s presence when they needed her the most. Do you remember Our Lady called herself “The Lady of the Rosary at Fatima”? She asked that the rosary be prayed for Peace. 1/3 of our military are Catholic. Due to the acute shortage of Catholic Chaplains, many Chaplains of all denominations ask for them. Everyone seems to want one because it is a sign of the presence of the Mother of God and we all need her blessings and protection in our lives. A specially made How To Pray the Rosary pamphet goes with each shipment. It is very durable and water resistant and fits inside a soldier’s pocket. It is available to members of the Network at a good discount. Also included are Holy Cards of St Michael and Divine Mercy. The hospital Chaplains ask for medals and scapulars too. The Chaplains tell us the rosaries are everywhere, wherever our troops are stationed – especially in the war torn areas. Every vehicle in Afghanistan has a rosary hanging from the rearview mirror. Here in Annapolis A weekly meeting of about 40 people (men and women) meet every Wednesday at St John Neuman church from 9-12. They bring in the rosaries made at home and sit down to enjoy the company while stringing more beads. Often there are mothers and grandmothers with loved ones in the war zones and they have come to make one special rosary. They find out we can send rosaries to the whole unit if needed. We mail out 1000 rosaries a week. Sometimes many tears accompany the rosary making but the support of the others help. We have special stations which they know by heart: training the new people, making more rosaries, cutting and burning and checking ones sent in from the starter kit people, making lots of starter kits, fixing the coffee and treats. There is alwlays lots of laughing and caring about one anothers situations. For some, especially those who live alone, this is the highlight of their week. They come with canes and even wheelchairs, in the hot weather and the storms. They come to work and pray to support the troops. We pray a decade of the rosary for the troops and their families, our church and priests and personal needs. |
