INTENTIONS
Eternal Father, we offer Thee this Rosary,
through the most pure heart of Mary, in union with the Precious. Blood of Jesus Christ, in
thanksgiving for all Thy benefits, in atonement
for our sins, for the wants of holy Church, for
the interests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and
for, all those graces and blessings that will keep
us close to that loving Heart in life, in death, in
time, and for eternity; for the sick, the dying,
sinners and the souls in purgatory; for those who
have asked our prayers and for whom we are
bound to pray; for Superiors, our Institute, and
for our family intentions, that God may direct all for His greater honor and glory; and for a happy
death for each of us. |
