New Prayer to introduce the Rosary
Memory aid – I love You, O my God

Spiri-Maria, December 27, 2025
on the feast day of Saint John the Apostle
Dear Members of the Lady’s Work,
In the last issue of the review Le Royaume (no. 297), Marc Bosquart suggested a new prayer to introduce the rosary, and it was enthusiastically accepted by those in charge of the Works. With this communiqué, we would like to remind you that they also set January 1, 2026 as the date when it would come into effect.
Thus, this prayer will be said for the first time at Spiri-Maria on that day at the beginning of the rosary recited as usual at 6:00 a.m.
With regard to the Officers in charge of Centers, they are encouraged to introduce the prayer into the programs for their meetings, with the ones in January being under the auspices of the Oblate-Patriots.
An important practical element: when the rosary is recited as a group, the prayer is said by everyone all together.
We attach the prayer in the form of a little leaflet, so that you can print it and distribute it if necessary.
In closing, we would like to recall an important indication Marie-Paule received in 1991, concerning another prayer, the one of the Lady:
“NOW GO, MARCH INTO COMBAT. THE MORE THE PRAYER IS SAID, THE MORE WILL IT SUPPORT YOU.” And Marie-Paule added: “Now I understand better the order ‘received’ yesterday: ‘INFORM THE MEMBERS ABOUT THE DIFFUSION OF THE PRAYER AS OF TOMORROW, IN ORDER THAT IT MAY BE SAID FREQUENTLY.’ ” (Life of Love, Appendix V, p. 114)
Don’t these new prayers prepare our hearts more and more to receive the Kingdom, prayers which so faithfully reflect its spirit? And, at the present time, is this not one of the most valuable supports we can offer to Marie-Paule, the Mother of the Kingdom?
