All our Rosaries commence with the Archangel Michael prayer.
The reasons are simply;
- we believe we need all protection possible to allow this website to run
- to protect the people using it while praying.
- to protect the prayers and intentions of the Holy Rosary.
It is the spiritual weapon and the opponents knows it!
Our aim is to include and use the Latin prayers with the Mysteries in English.
This is to give further strength to this spiritual weapon.
- Latin is the traditional liturgical language of the Church,
the language of many prayers and texts over centuries. - Latin unites us, which the Devil does not want.
The more scattered the flock is, the upper hand of the Devil. - The more united we are against Evil, the stronger we are...
- Latin has been used since St. Paulus and St. Petrus days in Rome.
Latin survived the Reformation in the 17th century...
Sancte Michael Archángele,
defénde nos in prœlio;
contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium.
Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur;
tuque, Princeps militiae cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malignos,
qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo,
divina virtúte in inférnum detrúde.

Our version of the Holy Rosary is a Step-by-Step Rosary.
- The struction of the Step-by-Step Rosary is that you can start and end where you decide to.
- We have a few recommended "pre-prayers" as well as "end-prayers" which all our outside the Rosary format
- It takes some time to get used to.
Once you as a user, understand our structure, we are sure you will find the depth, the joy, the strength and the love praying the Rosary. - The Holy Rosary is the perfect wreath. Let the Pearls lead you through the prayers.
From the Crucifix, through Credo, Pater Noster, the three Divine virtues when praying the Ave Maria at each cluster Pearl. Then, Gloria Patri closes the session. - The Mystery gives us a chance to meditate.
It is followed by the request from Our Lady of Fatima; "pray after each mystery: O my Jesus...".
Then comes: Pater Noster, Ave Maria and Gloria Patri (see below papal quotes)
We are aware that many people pray "O my Jesus... after Gloria Patri. That is fine with us.
We follow Our Lady's third apparition message from Fatima, July 13, 1917:
"When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery:
“O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need.”
Our interpretation is as: say Directly After Each Mystery.
After Gloria Patri is correctly too; after each Mystery.
(We have not yet found any message from a Pope after the Fatima apparition that writes about this message.)
"the frequent repetition in the Rosary of the "Hail Mary" after each "Our Father."
Pope Leo XIII, Augustissimae Virginis Mariae,
"It is important that the Gloria, the high-point of contemplation, be given due prominence in the Rosary."
Pope John Paul II in Rosarium Virginis Mariae
"The doxology Glory be to the Father which,
in conformity with an orientation common to Christian piety concludes the prayer with the glorifying of God"
Pope Paul VI, Marialis Cultus
The Holy Rosary, the perfect wreath, is closed through the hymn Salve Regina.
This is where the prayers and intentions unites.
The Pearls continue leading our way to the Cross of the Holy Rosary
"as the Crucifix both opens and closes the unfolding sequence of prayer".
