How to Pray the Chaplet of the Ten Evangelical Virtues of the B.V.M.

CHAPLET OF THE TEN EVANGELICAL VIRTUES
OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY


The Marians have recited this prayer since the time of approval of the Order upon the “Rule of the Ten Evangelical Virtues of the B.V.M.” by Pope Innocent XII in 1699. Saint Stanislaus Papczynski, Founder of the Marians, was the first to make his solemn vows on this rule in Warsaw, on June 6, 1701.

  To pray the Chaplet, use only 10 beads of a Rosary or a 10-bead chaplet. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, followed by one Our Father. Then on each of the 10 beads, pray one Hail Mary, adding after the words “Holy Mary, Mother of God…” one of the following virtues.


IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.

Our Father Who art in heaven…

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God...
<insert one of the following on each Hail Mary bead>

1st bead: Most pure,
2nd bead: Most prudent,
3rd bead: Most humble,
4th bead: Most pure,
5th bead:  Most devout,
6th bead:. Most prudent,
7th bead:  Most obedient,
8th bead:  Most patient,
9th bead: Most merciful,
10th bead:  Most sorrowful,

… pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
<next bead>


After the ten beads:

V. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
R. As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.

V. In Your Conception, O Virgin Mary, You were Immaculate.
R. Pray for us to the Father whose Son, Jesus, you brought forth into the world.

Let us pray:

Father, You prepared the Virgin Mary to be the worthy mother of Your Son. You let her share beforehand in the salvation of Christ would bring by His death,
and kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception. Help us by her prayers to live in Your presence without sin. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen.

V. The Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception,
R. Be our Health and our Protection.
