Holy Mary , Mother of God , at thy feet I humbly kneel to offer thee a --Crown of Roses-- blood red roses , to remind thee of the passion of thy divine Son, with whom thou did fully partake in its bitterness--each rose recalling to thee a holy mystery; each ten bound together with my petition for a particular grace .
O Holy Queen dispenser of God's graces and Mother of all who invoke thee! Thou canst not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding.
As thou receive my gift,so wilt thou receive my petition; from thy bounty thou wilt give me the petition I so earnestly and trustingly seek .I despair of nothing that I ask of thee . Show thyself my mother . Amen


A Red rose , symbol of sorrowful Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ , for everyone praying
