Chaplet in Honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!
We first commemorated, as believers, the Fourth Glorious Mystery, the Assumption of Mary, and this week, we give thanks for the Fifth Glorious Mystery pleading with God to complete His plan of redemption with the crowning of Mary on Earth as it has already been accomplished in Heaven!
In this prayer, we ask all to offer this chaplet imploring the King for the Triumph of His Queen as She prophesied and promised!
We suggest that after invoking St. Michael’s protection and offering this chaplet through the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Communion of Saints, that those who wish, begin with the Fatima prayer: “O my Jesus, it is for the love of Thee, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary that we offer this chaplet begging and pleading for the Reign of the Sacred Hearts on Earth in honor of Your Mother’s Triumph throughout the world!”
After this offering, make any other petitions you may wish and ask Mary to ensure that She lifts up any other prayers and needs you or your family may have!
Once again, we are most grateful to Father F. Lasance for his documenting of this and other incredible prayers of homage to our Lord and His Mother in “My Prayer Book,” approved by Pope Pius XI in 1927. May Father Lasance, who is now, we are sure, in Heaven, adopt us all as his clients and intercede for us before the Virgin and Her Son!
Chaplet in Honor of the Immaculate Heart!
The chaplet consists of five separate offerings for each decade of the Rosary. After each part, pray one Our Father and seven Hail Marys to complete the decade, along with the two-line prayer to conclude each set. Begin with this opening prayer:
Incline unto my aid, O God!
O Lord! make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost,
as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen!
I. Immaculate Virgin, who, conceived without sin, didst direct every movement of Thy most pure Heart to that God Who was ever the object of Thy love, and who wast ever most submissive to His Will; obtain for me the grace to hate sin with my whole heart, and to learn of Thee to live in perfect resignation to the Will of God.
The Lord’s Prayer and seven Ave Marias
Heart transpierced with pain and woe!
Set my heart with love aglow.
II. I marvel, Mary, at Thy deep humility, through which Thy Blessed Heart was troubled at the gracious messages brought Thee by Gabriel, the Archangel, that Thou wast chosen Mother of the Son of the Most High, and through which Thou didst proclaim Thyself His humble Handmaid; wherefore, in great confusion at the sight of my pride, I ask Thee for the grace of a contrite and humble heart, that, knowing my own misery, I may obtain that crown of glory promised to the truly humble of heart.
The Lord’s Prayer and seven Ave Marias
Heart transpierced with pain and woe!
Set my heart with love aglow.
III. Blessed Virgin, who, in Thy sweetest Heart, didst keep as a precious treasure the Words of Jesus, Thy Son, and, pondering on the lofty mysteries they contained, didst learn to live for God alone; how doth my cold heart confound me! O dearest Mother! get me grace so to meditate within my heart upon God’s Holy Law that I may strive to follow Thee in the fervent practice of every Christian virtue.
The Lord’s Prayer and seven Ave Marias
Heart transpierced with pain and woe!
Set my heart with love aglow.
IV. Glorious Queen of martyrs, whose Sacred Heart was pierced in Thy Son’s bitter Passion by the sword whereof the holy old man Simeon had prophesied; gain for my heart true courage and a holy patience to bear the troubles and misfortunes of this miserable life, so that, by crucifying my flesh with its desires, while following the mortification of the Cross, I may, indeed, show myself to be a true son of Thine.
The Lord’s Prayer and seven Ave Marias
Heart transpierced with pain and woe!
Set my heart with love aglow.
V. O Mary, Mystical Rose, with loving Heart, burning with the living fire of charity, Thou didst accept us for Thy children at the Foot of the Cross, becoming thus our tender Mother! make me feel the sweetness of Thy maternal Heart and Thy power with Jesus, that, when menaced by the perils of this mortal life, and most of all in the dread hour of death, my heart, united with Thine, may love my Jesus then and through all ages. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer and seven Ave Marias
Heart transpierced with pain and woe!
Set my heart with love aglow.
Let us now turn to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, that He may inflame us with His
Holy Love!
O Divine Heart of Jesus! to Thee I consecrate myself, full of deep gratitude for the many blessings I have received and daily do receive from Thy boundless charity. With my whole heart I thank Thee for having, in addition to them all, vouchsafed to give me Thy own Most Holy Mother, giving me to Her as a son, in the person of the beloved disciple.
Let my heart ever burn with love for Thee, finding in Thy sweetest heart its peace, its refuge, and its happiness!
Indulgence of 300 days, once a day.
Pius IX, December 11, 1854
Salve Regina!
