Pray the Rosary with Catherine Labouré

In 1830, Catherine Labouré spoke with the Blessed Virgin in the chapel on Rue du Bac. The Virgin Mary deeply loves the prayer of the rosary, a prayer she has often recommended when speaking to many saints. We can take the time to pray the rosary with Catherine Labouré and entrust the intentions close to our hearts.

Prayer of Catherine Labouré

“Deign, O Queen, full of goodness, from this sublime throne where you are seated beside Jesus Christ, to receive the vows of those who implore your help. Mother of God, you can sway your Son; you are also our Mother and you love us as your children. O you who draw from the very source of grace, let it descend upon us in the most abundant measure. Present our vows and prayers to God. Will He refuse a Mother whom He loves so tenderly? Ask Him to look kindly upon France, which is consecrated to you; to grant the King justice and peace to the people. O Mary, your name is our defense, protect us! O Mary, you who are the refuge of sinners and our Mother, O Mary, see the danger we are in. Have pity on us. Do not be slow to hear our vows. If you deign to pray to your Son, He will hear you. It is enough that you wish to save us for us to be saved. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray, pray, pray for us. Deign, O Queen of angels and men, to cast a favorable glance upon the whole world, particularly upon France and each person individually. O Mary, inspire us with what we must ask of you for our happiness, which will be that of the whole world. Amen.”

How to Pray the Rosary

We can begin the rosary with the Sign of the Cross. Then, we can recite:

• The Apostles' Creed

• The Our Father

• Three Hail Marys

Next, we can meditate on the mystery of the rosary corresponding to the day of the week:

• Monday and Saturday: The Joyful Mysteries

• Tuesday and Friday: The Sorrowful Mysteries

• Wednesday and Sunday: The Glorious Mysteries

• Thursday: The Luminous Mysteries

After meditating on each mystery, we pray a decade of the rosary, beginning with an Our Father, followed by ten Hail Marys, and concluding with a Glory Be.

At the end, we can conclude the rosary with the invocation the Virgin Mary entrusted to Saint Catherine Labouré: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you.”

With Catherine Labouré, What Intentions Can I Entrust?

Catherine saw the Blessed Virgin, who asked her to have a medal made and to spread it far and wide. The Blessed Virgin is our Heavenly Mother. We can entrust her with all the prayer intentions we carry in our hearts. We can also pray with Catherine Labouré for France, its leaders, and its future using the prayer she wrote. We can read the prayer above before or after the rosary.
