The Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary – Philippines &

The Perpetual Rosary Association (Guardias de Honor de Maria)

presents

SPECIAL GUARD HOUR

to overcome the COVID-19 Pandemic
on the feast of OUR LADY OF SORROWS
to be led by
Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Echague
Division – Antipolo City
“Most of the brothers and sisters preached and prayed with the
people through various digital initiatives. Indeed, moments of
crisis can become occasions of grace and moments of creativity.
It was during the time of the Italian plague (1629- 1631) that
friar Timotheus Ricci (†1643) established the Bussola del ora
perpetua del Rosario at the Dominican convent in Bologna in
the year 1629. The perpetual rosary devotion was
born in the midst of pestilence.”
Offering of the Guard Hour
O my God, I offer this hour of
guard of the Rosary as Guardia de
Honor de Maria, in union with
the prayers and merits of Jesus
Christ, His Holy Virgin Mother
and all the Angels and Saints.
Offering of the Guard Hour
We offer each hour to obtain all the
graces and blessings we need of, for
our Holy Father, the Pope, Holy
Mother Church, our bishop, our priest,
our clergy, our families, relatives and
benefactors, the conversion of sinners,
Offering of the Guard Hour
The souls in purgatory, the
perseverance of the just, the sick,
sorrowful and afflicted, those in
their last agony and everyone
who has been recommended to
our prayers.
Offering of the Guard Hour
We beseech thee, o heavenly
Father, through the merits of
Jesus Christ and His Immaculate
Mother, to grant us the true spirit
of our state in life and the grace of
a happy death, AMEN.

FIRST PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
O Mary, You shine continuously on our
journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of
the Sick, who, at the foot of the cross,
were united with Jesus' suffering,
and persevered in your faith.
FIRST PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS

"Protectress of the Roman people,"

you know our needs, and we know
that you will provide, so that, as at
Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration
may returnafter this time of trial.
FIRST PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the will of the
Father and to do what Jesus tells us.
For he took upon himself our suffering,
and burdened himself with our sorrows
to bring us, through the cross, to the joy
of the Resurrection. Amen.
SUB TUUM PRAESIDIUM
We fly to your protection,
O Holy Mother of God;
Do not despise our petitions
in our necessities,
but deliver us always
from every danger,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
"We fly to your protection, O Holy
Mother of God."
In the present tragic situation, when the
whole world is prey to suffering and
anxiety, we fly to you, Mother of God
and our mother, and seek refuge under
your Protection.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Virgin Mary, turn your merciful eyes
toward us amid this coronavirus
pandemic. Comfort those who are
distraught and mourn their loved ones
who have died, and at times are buried
in a way that grieves them deeply.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Be close to those who are concerned for
their loved ones who are sick and who, in
order to prevent the spread of the disease,
cannot be close to them. Fill with hope
those who are troubled by the uncertainty
of the future and the consequences for the
economy and employment.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Mother of God and our Mother, pray for
us to God, the father of mercies, that this
great suffering may end and that hope and
peace may dawn anew. Plead with your
divine Son, as you did at Cana, so that the
families of the sick and the victims be
comforted, and their hearts be opened to
confidence and trust.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Protect those doctors, nurses, health
workers and volunteers who are on the
frontline of this emergency, and are
risking their lives to save others.
Support their heroic effort and grant
them strength, generosity and
continued health.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Be close to those who assist the
sick night and day, and to
priests who, in their pastoral
concern and fidelity to the
Gospel, are trying to help and
support everyone.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Blessed Virgin, illumine the minds of men and
women engaged in scientific research, that they
may find effective solutions to overcome this
virus. Support national leaders, that with
wisdom, solicitude and generosity they may
come to the aid of those lacking the basic
necessities of life and may devise social
and economic solutions inspired by
farsightedness and solidarity.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Mary Most Holy, stir our consciences, so
that the enormous funds invested in
developing and stockpiling arms will
instead be spent on promoting effective
research on how to prevent similar
tragedies from occurring in the future.
SECOND PRAYER OF POPE FRANCIS
Beloved Mother, help us realize that we are
