The Walsingham Guide to the Rosary and Shrine Prayers

Pentecost to Advent

At 6.00pm each day (5.00pm Saturday) pilgrims gather in the nave of the Shrine Church, facing the Holy House, to recite the Rosary during which intercessions are offered for people who have requested our prayers. We pray the Rosary quietly and reflectively – do join us on our livestream.

At the invitation of the Leader, stand for The Angelus

 The Angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary

℟ And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art 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.

 Behold the handmaid of the Lord

℟ Be it unto me according to thy word.

 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art 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.

℣ And the Word was made flesh

℟ And dwelt among us.

 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art 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.

 Pray for us, O holy Mother of God

℟ That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker 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, dead and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead,
He ascended into heaven
and 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, 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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with thee; blessed art 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. (Hail Mary - 3 times)

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.

All sit

Each of the Mysteries is introduced with a brief reflection or passage of scripture.

The Third Mystery is offered for those in temporal need. The Leader begins the Our Father and the Hail Marys; the congregation recites the second part.

The Fourth Mystery is offered for the Guild of All Souls and for the departed. The congregation begins the Our Father and the Hail Marys; the Leader recites the second part.

The Fifth Mystery is offered for those who work at the Shrine and for various groups associated with its ministry; we also pray for Christians from other traditions who honour Our Lady of Walsingham. The Leader begins the Our Father and the Hail Marys; the congregation recites the second part.

All stand when the Leader invites us to pray:

Let us pray.
Almighty Father, look with mercy on this your family, for which our Lord Jesus

Christ was content to be betrayed and given up into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

O Mary, recall the solemn moment when Jesus, your divine Son, dying on the cross confided us to your maternal care. You are our Mother; we desire ever to remain your devout children. Let us therefore feel the effects of your powerful intercession with Jesus Christ. Make your name again glorious in this place, once renowned throughout our land by your visits, favours and many miracles.

Pray, O Holy Mother of God, for the conversion of England, restoration of the sick, consolation for the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed. O Blessed Mary, Mother of God, Our Lady of Walsingham, intercede for us. Amen.

O Lord God, Word incarnate, Jesus of Nazareth, have mercy upon us.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy;
Hail, 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 vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy towards us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

or

Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae;
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exules filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes,
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O Clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. 

May the Divine assistance remain with us always. Amen.
