Son through the continuous praying of the Holy Rosary by its
members. It associates especially aim to obtain from Jesus through
the powerful intercession of his Blessed Mother as well as ours; the
conversion of sinners; a happy death for the dying; and the joys of
heaven for the souls in purgatory.
The 24 hours of the day are distributed among its members. So one
who decides to become a member promises to dedicate to Our Lady
of the Rosary one hour every month - on a definite hour. The hour
is to be spent praying and meditating upon the twenty mysteries of
the Holy Rosary. This hour is called the "Guard Hour". Besides the
complete rosary, other prayers that one may choose in honor of the
Blessed Mother, may be said within this hour.

4
The Guard Hour of each associate may be fulfilled anywhere; at
home, on a journey, etc. - kneeling or seated; although, if possible,
it is better to spent in a church or an oratory.
The obligation of the Perpetual Rosary does not bind under the pain
of sin. If a member fails to perform the hour guard, he merely
forgoes the indulgences that would have gained by performing it.

Perpetual Rosary Association draws its members from the
confraternity, and the main duty is the praying the rosary
everyday.

PRAYERS FOR THE GUARD HOUR OF THE holy
rosary

PRAYER ON PERFORMING THE GUARD HOUR

⁃ Act of Contrition
⁃ Hail Holy Queen for the member who did the Guard Hour
before you

Remember, O most pious Queen of the Blessed Rosary, that never


was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored
your aid, and sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired
with the confidence I come, although unworthy, before your
presence to fulfill this Guard Hour, on behalf of all the other
associates, your faithful devotees, and in their name, I ask of you
that you will obtain the conversion of so many souls now in sin; I
ask that you will obtain for me the grace of a happy death for all
who are dying and who are in this hour to appear before the
Sovereign Judge; I ask that you will obtain eternal rest for the souls
in Purgatory.

All these graces I ask you to obtain, particularly for the members of
my family, for my relatives, friends, acquaintances, and for all those
persons who are or have been living in this locality. And now,
Mother of mine, that I am to pray the hour of your Blessed Rosary,
grant that I may be worthy of the glorious name I bear - Guard of
your Honor. Remove from me indifference, sloth and forgetfulness,
and make me diligent and fervent in all the acts that I propose to do
6
in your honor. Obtain for me the grace of ever remembering your
presence while my heart and my lips pronounce your praises in
union with those who at this hour are engaged in this holy practice,
so that, with them, I may meditate and contemplate such August
and profound mysteries and may obtain the most abundant fruit for
your honor and the salvation of my soul. Amen.

seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he
shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life
everlasting. Amen.

me the faults of distractions I have had on this holy practice and
amiably listen to my petitions, and joining them to your efficacious

A Hail Holy Queen for the member who will keep the next Guard
Hour.

PRAYER FOR THE HOUR OF GUARD

Hail Holy Queen of the Blessed Rosary, I prostrate myself humbly

the benefits you bestowed on this your loyal servant. Vouchsafe, I
beseech you, to accept this my hour of guard and hearken to me as I
entreat you in union with all your devotees who at this moment are
rendering you their Hour of Guard to obtain mercy for sinners,
assistance and help for the dying, for the poor souls in Purgatory,
quick relief and for the just perseverance in their Justice. I trust with
a firm confidence that you will listen to our prayers.

I join my praise and supplication to the numberless souls, who, day


and night, unceasingly invoke you with tearful eyes and sorrowful
hearts, saying the beads of your Rosary. Oh! The most merciful of
all mothers. Dry up so many tears, mitigate so many sorrows, grant
through your powerful intercession, that this frightful deluge of
hatred be brought to an end.

18
Send to us from heaven the longed for dove carrying the palm of
victory of the Holy Church and the reign of peace in the charity of
Christ; while we your children, United together with one heart and
full of gratitude, acclaim you in this exile, hoping for the happy day
of our glorious arrival at the gates of our true motherland, where it
will be given to us to sing our triumphal song: “Praise and Glory to
the Queen of the Rosary forever and ever.” Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH AFTER THE ROSARY

To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our tribulation, and


having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently
invoke your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you
to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal
love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you
graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has
purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us
in our necessities.

O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen


children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us
every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most
mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our
struggle with the power of darkness.

As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now
protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from
all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection,
so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to
live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in
heaven. Amen.

PANALANGIN KAY SAN JOSE MATAPOS ANG
PAGDARASAL NG SANTO ROSARYO
Sa iyo po, maluwalhating San José, nagsasakdal kami sa aming mga
kapighatian, at pagkahingi namin ng saklolo sa iyong kabanal-
banalang esposa, idinadalangin din namin ang iyong saklolo taglay
ang buong pananalig. Alang-alang sa dalisay na pag-ibig na
ipinakisama mo sa kalinis-linisang Birheng Mariang Ina ng Diyos,
at sa maka-amang pagsinta na iniyakap mo sa banal na Sanggol na
si Hesus ay isinasamo namin sa iyo nang lubos na kapakumbabaan
ng loob na ilingap mo ang mga mata mong maawain sa manang
kinamtan ni Hesukristo ng kanyang dugo, at ampunin mo ang
aming mga pangangailangan ng iyong tulong at kapangyarihan.
O lubhang maingat na tagapagtangkilik ng mag-ina ni Hesus,
ampunin mo ang hirang na lipi ni Hesukristo. Ilayo mo sa amin ang
tanang karungisan ng maling aral o masamang ugali. O
makapangyayari at maawaing Pintakasi, tulungan mo kami buhat sa
langit sa pakikipaglaban namin sa demonyo. Ipagtanggol mo
ngayon ang Santa Iglesya ng Diyos sa kalupitan at sa mga silo ng
kanyang kaaway at sa dilang hilahil, gaya ng pagliligtas mo noon sa
mahal na Sanggol na si Hesus sa panganib na kinalagyan ng
kanyang buhay. At kupkupin mo naman kaming lahat lagi ng iyong
saklolo upang sa pamamagitan ng iyong pag-aampon at tulad mo ay
matuto rin kaming mabuhay at mamatay sa kabanalan at makamtan
namin ang kapalarang walang hanggan sa langit. Amen.

Novena in Honor of Nuestra Señora
del Santisimo Rosario - La Naval de Manila

(ENGLISH)
OPENING SONG

Immaculate Mother
We come at thy call
And low at thy altar
Before thee we fall
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria (2x)

In grief and temptation


In joy and in pain
We'll seek thee, our Mother
Nor seek thee in vain
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria (2x)

PRAYER FOR EVERYDAY

Leader: Lord our God,

People: I come before you once more to offer to you my prayers. I


have made my pleas to you again and again, and each moment I do,
the more my faith increases that you are truly the God of life and of
love.

34
However, there have been a number of times also that I fail to call
on You. That I fail to love my neighbors. That I fail to keep my
promises. That I fail to ask for pardon and to give pardon to others.
That I fail to give thanks for all the blessings that come my way.
And yet in all these moments, you are ever present O Lord, to
remind me that you are just around to take me back once more if I
will but come to you. By meditating on the mysteries of the Holy

Rosary especially in this novena in honor of the Queen of the Holy


Rosary of La Naval, may I be led to find your presence in my life as
Mother Mary found it in her own life. In every mystery of my joy,
in every mystery of my sorrow, in every mystery of my glory, may
I be able to recognize your hand that I may know you are indeed the
Emmanuel, the God who is with us, now and forever. Amen.

THE DOMINICAN ROSARY

Leader: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.


People: Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of
your womb Jesus.

Leader: Lord, open my lips (make a small sign of the cross on the
lips)
People: And my mouth shall declare your praise.

Leader: God, come to my assistance (make another sign of the cross


as in the usual way)
People: Lord, make haste to help me.

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

35
At the end of each mystery, an inter-mystery hymn/antiphon will be
sung.

glory.
People: He has clothed him with a splendid garment.

Leader: Let us pray.


People: Almighty God, at the beginning of our salvation when
Mary conceived your Son and brought him forth into the world, you
placed him under Joseph’s watchful care. May his prayers still help
your Church to be an equally faithful guardian of your mysteries
and a sign of Christ to mankind. We make our prayers through
Christ, our Lord. Amen.

41
FIRST DAY

Leader: In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a
town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man
named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was
Mary. He went and said to her, “Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s
favor. The Lord is with you…You are to conceive in your womb
and bear a son and you must name him Jesus..” Mary said, “You
see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have
said.” (Lk. 1:26-28,31,38)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: At your tender age, you have manifested to us a shining
example of how it is to obey the will of God. It was your obedience
that gave way to the incarnation of the Lord.

Help me, O Mother Mary, that I may imitate your example. May I
learn to abide by the Lord’s will for me. May I also learn to devote
myself to Him through a genuine service to others, a truthful
knowledge of His Word and wholehearted reception of the
sacraments. May I also love Him the way you loved him that His
Word may also be done unto me.

(A moment of silence)

Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we


wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval. (Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer).

42
SECOND DAY

Leader: Mary set out at the time and went quickly as she could into
the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house
and greeted Elizabeth: Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth
heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, “Of all
women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb. Why should I be honored with a visit from the mother of my
Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached ears, the child in
my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the
promise made by the Lord would be fulfilled. “ (Lk. 1:39-45)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: Your visit to your cousin Elizabeth has been a cause of
rejoicing for her. You were indeed a true messenger of the Good
News because you can truly reveal to the people around you the
power and love of God. May I also be able to bring the Good News
to the people in my midst especially to the members of my family
and to those people dear to me. May I always remember that love
grows its roots at home. And if I desire to be an effective messenger
of the Good News, it is in my home where I should begin.

(A moment of silence)

Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we


wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval.
(Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer).

43
THIRD DAY

Leader: And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping
with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present
him to the Lord – observing what is written in the Law of the Lord:
Every first born male must be consecrated to the Lord – and also to
offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law
of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves of two young pigeons. (Lk. 1:22-
25)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: You manifest your faithfulness to God by obeying his laws.
Nonetheless, this faithfulness comes not simply from the prompting
of the law but greatly from the inspiration of your sincere love for
God. It is this love that teaches you that there is no such thing as a
small gift for God as long as it is given with a big heart.
Teach me O Mother Mary to be faithful to God. Teach me to
manifest this faithfulness by offering to Him even the little things I
do. Even through such little things, may the grace of God come to
me to help me offer myself to him completely.

(A moment of silence)

Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we


wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval.

(Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer)

44
FOURTH DAY

Leader: As the child’s father and mother were wondering at the


things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and
said to Mary his mother, “Look, he is destined for the fall and for
the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed – and
a sword will pierce your soul too – so that the secret thoughts of
many may be laid bare. (Lk. 2:33-35)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: You were chosen to be the Mother of God. And being the
Mother of God, you were chosen not only share in the glory but
also in the sacrifice which your Son was bound to undertake. Yet all
these, you bore with a humble heart knowing that the taste of glory
is rewarded only to those who have paid the price of great sacrifice.

O Mother Mary, may I always remember that there is nothing in


this world that can surpass the glory of life that is promised by the
Lord. Pray that I may be worthy of it by sharing in his suffering and
to be preserving through it all.

(A moment of silence)

Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we


wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval.

(Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer).

45
FIFTH DAY

Leader: Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s
sister, Mary the wife of Cleofas and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his
mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus
said to His mother, “Woman, this is your son.” Then to the disciple
he said, “This is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took
her into his home. (Jn 19:25-27)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: At the last hour of your son, you were also present O
Mother Mary so that even at that last moment you might offer him
love and that you might offer yourself too to the Father in union
with the son’s offering of himself. You followed him until the foot
of the cross. Indeed, the cross is the mark of a true Christian. Yet it
is also the cross that makes it so hard to follow the Lord. The cross
against the lure of power. The cross against the lure of riches. The
cross against the lure of worldliness. The cross against the lure of
selfishness.

Help me bear this cross, O Mother Mary. And like you, may I also
unite myself in union with the sacrifice of the Lord, for my
salvation and the salvation of other too.

(A moment of silence)

Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we


wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval.

(Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer).


46
SIXTH DAY

Leader: In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week,
the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear
of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them,
“Peace be with you.” And after saying this, he showed them his
hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the
Lord and he said to them again, “Peace be with you.” (Jn 20:19-20)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: The resurrection of the Lord was a Good News not only for
you but also for the apostles and all those people who have kept
their faith in him. In the sight of the whole world, the Lord has
revealed himself in glory – the glory that brings peace.

Pray O Mother Mary that I may have a share in this glory. What
good could passing pleasure bring me if my life is bare of meaning?
What good could come from praises, from riches, from greatness if
I find no direction in life? What would it profit me to have
everything, O Mother Mary, if I remain a slave of sin? This is not
what I seek. What I seek is a new life. A new life where I would
find the peace which the resurrected Lord brings. Pray for me O
Mother Mary. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

(A moment of silence)

Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we


wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval.
(Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer).
47
SEVENTH DAY

Leader: So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back


to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk;
and when they reached the city, they went to the upper room where
they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartolomew and Matthew, James son of
Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. With one
heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some
women including Mary the mother of Jesus. (Act 1:12- 14)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: You were with the apostles since the early days of the
Church. This is so because you were aware that union with the
Church is an important part of the following of Christ; because you
believed that no one lives nor dies for oneself alone.

O Mother Mary, I am a part of the Church, but how do I give


witness to it? Do I see myself the enthusiasm and joy whenever I
join the celebration of the sacraments or whenever I engage myself
in prayer? Do I see in myself the concern for other people and the
effort to be one with them in their sorrow and joy like a true and
compassionate Christian?

Help me be aware O Mother Mary of my responsibilities and grant


me the inspiration to perform all these for the good of the Church
whose Mother and Intercessor you are.

(A moment of silence)

48
Leader: In silence, let us now offer to God the personal petitions we
wish to obtain through the intercession of the Queen of the Holy
Rosary of La Naval.

(Pray 3 Hail Marys after the silent prayer).

EIGHT DAY

Leader: How blessed are the poor in spirit, the kingdom of heaven
is theirs. Blessed are the gentle: they shall have the earth as
inheritance. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
uprightness: they shall have their fill. Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be
great in heaven. (Mt. 5:3-4,6,8,12)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: Your being the mother of God has been a great blessings
for you though it is also what brought you to a great trial. Yet you
did not mind whatever difficulties you might suffer, whatever
“sword may pierce your soul” because you believed that at the end
of all these waits the reward that God has kept in store for all those
who enjoyed His favor.

And who else should be first to be called blessed but you O Mother
Mary who was the first to obey the will of God, who was the first to
follow the Lord and who was the first to experience the burdens that

NINTH DAY

Leader: My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit


finds joy in God my savior, for he has looked upon his servant in
her lowliness; all ages to come shall call me blessed. God who is
mighty has done great things for me, holy is his name. (Lk 1:46-49)

(A moment of silence)

Leader: O Mother Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval,


People: Like yours, my soul also praises the Lord and my spirit
likewise rejoices because of the great things that the Lord has done
for you. Because of them, you have become our intercessor and
companion in our prayers and praises to the Lord.

Within the nine days of this novena, I have come to reflect on the
great things that may also happen to me if I will but grow in the
likeness of your dedication and love for the Lord. I am aware that
things should not end in this novena. Greater challenges await me
as I continue to pursue the journey of life. But now, I have a greater
courage to face them all, because I believe that the Lord always
takes care of his lowly servants like me. And because I believe, that
I have a blessed Mother in you to whom I can always turn to, and a
blessed Mother who shall always pray for me.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
(FINAL PRAYER FOR EVERYDAY)

Leader: Queen of the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of La Naval,


People: We gather as one people in celebration of a battle fought
and won; a vow made and fulfilled; a time remembered and held
dear; a miracle experienced and kept alive; love received and
returned: your patronage sought and thanks for: God praised, God
adored.

Leader: Mahal Naming Ina,


People: As our lips move in whispered prayers, our hands over
beads, our knees bend, our eyes look up to you, we plead for your
mercy, your grace, your love.

Leader: O Mother of Peace,


People: Give birth to God in our hearts. Give birth to Peace in our
world. Give birth to the Word who heals all strife, conquers sin with
love, overcomes death, brings us life. As once you interceded for
the victory of faith in these islands, pray for us, now, in our struggle
for truth and justice, for peace and love in Christ.

51
Leader: O Queen of the Philippines,
People: In your loving hands, you hold Jesus, our God, our King,
our Savior. You hold Him for us to adore and serve, to love and
find salvation in. O Mother and Queen, our hearts may be small, but
our love is enormous. And we ask you to come and take your place
in us, in the company of your bellowed Son; to bless us with your
abiding presence to fill us and keep us in your love and protection;
to lead us in the eternal Fiat and Magnificat to God in whose name
we gather. Amen.

"Sumasaiyo ang Panginoon... Ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng
isang lalaki at siya'y tatawagin mong Hesus." Sumagot si Maria.

Inang Maria, na ako sana / ay makatulad sa iyong halimbawa. /
Matuto sana akong tumalima sa kalooban ng Diyos para sa akin. /
Matutunan ko rin sanang ilaan ang aking sarili para sa Kanya / sa

pati na rin sa pagpapakasakit / na nakatakdang balikatin ng iyong
64
Anak. Gayunpaman ang lahat ng ito ay tinatanggap mo nang buong
kababaang- loob/ sapagkat batid mong ang kadakilaan/ ay
iginagawad lamang sa mga taong nagdanas na ng pagpapakasakit.

bagay sa buhay na ito ay hindi hihigit / sa kadakilaan ng buhay / na

pagmamahal / at upang ihain din sa Ama ang iyong sarili / kaisa ng
pag-aalay ng sarili ng Diyos Anak. / Sinundan mo Siya hanggang sa
krus. / Sumasampalataya ka hanggang sa krus.

Ang krus nga ang palatandaan ng pagiging tunay na Kristiyano./ At

kaluwalhatian - / ang kaluwalhatiang naghahatid ng kapayapaan.

pansamantala kung ang buhay ko nama'y walang kahulugan?/

kung ang buhay ko nama'y walang pupuntahan? Aanhin ko ang
lahat O Inang Maria /kung ang pagkatao ko naman ay alipin ng
kasalanan? Hindi ito ang nais ko./ Ang nais ko ay isang bagong-
buhay,isang bagong-buhay kung saan matatagpuan ang kapayapaan

alipin! At mula ngayon, ako'y tatawaging mapalad ng salinlahi,
dahil sa mga dakilang bagay na ginawa sa akin ng
Makapangyarihan – Banal ang kanyang pangalan. (Lk 1:46-49)

Namumuno: O Inang Maria, Reyna ng Santo Rosaryo ng La Naval,

Bayan: Katulad mo/ ang puso ko ay nagpupuri din/at nagagalak rin


ang aking espiritu/ dahil sa mga dakilang bagay/ na ginagawa sa iyo
ng Diyos na Makapangyarihan. / Dahil dito ikaw ay aking naging
tagapamagitan / at naging kasama sa pananalangin/ at pagpupuri sa
Diyos.

Sa loob ng siyam na araw ng nobenang ito,/ aking napagnilayan ang


mga dakilang bagay na maaari ding maganap sa akin/ kung ako ay
makakatulad/ sa uri ng iyong paglilingkod / at pagmamahal sa
Diyos

Batid kong hindi natatapos ang lahat/ sa nobenang ito. / Higit na


malaking hamon ang naghihintay sa akin/ sa pagpapatuloy ko / ng
paglalakbay sa buhay. / Gayunpaman / ngayo’y mas malakas na ang
aking loob / na harapin ito sapagkat batid kong ang Panginoon ay
agging lumilingap / sa Kanyang abang aliping tulad ko. /At dahil
batid ko / na mayroon akong pinagpalang Inang tulad mo / na
lagging malalapitan at mananalangin para sa akin.

Namumuno: Ngayo’y matahimik nating idulog sa Diyos ang ating


mga pansariling kahilingan sa tulong ng panalangin ng Reyna ng
Rosaryo ng La Naval.

PANGWAKAS NA PANALANGIN

Namumuno: O Reyna ng Santo Rosaryo, Reyna ng La Naval,


Bayan: Natitipon kami ngayon bilang isang bayan upang
ipagdiwang ang kadakilaang ipinamalas mo sa digmaan ng La
Naval; ang digmaan na ipinaglaban mo't pinagwagian; ang pangako
na binitiwan mo at binigyang katuparan; ang panahon na ginugunita
namin at itinatangi; ang himala na aming naranasan at patuloy na
iniingatan; ang pagmamahal na tinanggap namin at sinuklian; ang
patnubay mong hanap namin at pinasasalamatan; ang
makapangyarihang Diyos na pinupuri namin at sinasamba.

Namumuno: Mahal naming Ina,


Bayan: Habang ang labi nami'y bumubulong ng panalangin, mga
matay sumasamo, ang Rosaryo'y tangan-tangan, mga tuhod ay
nakatiklop, hinihiling namin ang iyong habag, ang iyong biyaya,
ang iyong pag-ibig.

Namumuno: O lna ng Kapayapaan,


Bayan: Iluwal mo ang Panginoon sa aming mga puso. Iluwal mo
ang kapayapaan sa sandaigdigan. Iluwal mo ang Salita upang
lunasan ang aming mga alitan, upang sugpuin ang kasalanan sa
pamamagitan ng pag-ibig, upang wakasan ang kamatayan at bigyan
kami ng buhay. Tulad ng ginawa mong pananalangin alang-alang sa
pagwawagi ng pananampalataya sa aming bayan, ipanalangin mo
kami ngayon sa aming pakikibaka alang-alang sa katotonanan at
katarungan, sa kapayapaan at pagmamahal ni Kristo.

Namumuno: O Reyna ng Pilipinas,


Bayan: Sa iyong mga mapagkalingang kamay, tangan-tangan mo si
Hesus na aming Panginoon, aming Hari at aming Tagapagligtas.
Tangan-tangan mo Siya upang aming sambahin at paglingkuran,
upang aming mahalin at gawing sandigan ng aming kaligtasan. O
72
aming Ina at Reyna, munti ang aming mga puso subalit dakila ang
aming pagmamahal. Hinihiling namin na dalawin mo kami at sa
ami'y manahan ang iyong Anak; upang makaisa kami sa iyong
piling, upang mapuspos kami ng iyong pag-ibig at patubay, upang
akayin kami sa walang hanggang Fiat at Magnificat sa Diyos na
Makapangyarihan. Amen

PERPETUAL NOVENA IN HONOR OF Nuestra Señora
del Santisimo Rosario – La Naval de Manila

OPENING HYMN

Immaculate Mother
We come at thy call
And low at thy altar
Before thee we fall
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria (2x)

In grief and temptation


In joy and in pain
We'll seek thee, our Mother
Nor seek thee in vain
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria (2x)

OPENING PRAYER

Most Loving God, I come to offer you my prayers. I have made my


pleas to you again and again and every moment my faith grows
more steadfast; my hope more; my love more fervent; and my life
more complete in your presence.

However, there had been a number of times that I fail to call on


you; that I fail to love my neighbors, to keep my promises, to ask
for pardon and to give pardon to others, and to give thanks for all

74
the blessings that come my way. Yet, in all these moments, you are
ever present, O Lord, to take me back if I will but come to you.

By meditating on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary, lead me to find


your presence in my life as Mother Mary found You. In every
mystery of my joy, in every mystery of my sorrow, in every
mystery of my glory, may I recognize you, the Emmanuel - the God
who is with us now and forever, Amen.

Then followed by praying the Rosary

People: We fly to your patronage, O Holy Mother of God, despise


not our prayers in our necessities but deliver us from all dangers, O
ever glorious and blessed Virgin.

Leader: Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us


People: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death and
resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant
we beseech You, that through the meditation of these mysteries of
the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what
they contain and obtain what they promise through Christ our Lord,
Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH

Leader: Behold the faithful and prudent steward...


People: Whom the Master has placed over his household.

Leader: The Lord has shown him his love and covered him with
glory.
People: He has clothed him in splendid garment.
75
Let us pray: Almighty God. at the beginning of our salvation when
Mary conceived your Son and brought him forth into the world, you
placed him under Joseph's watchful care. May his prayers still help
your Church to be an equally faithful guardian of your mysteries
and a sign of Christ to mankind. We make our prayers through
Christ, our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY – LA NAVAL


DE MANILA

Holy Mary, at the sound of your voice, Elizabeth, was filled with
the Holy Spirit, and the baby in her womb leapt for joy. Visit us as
you visited the home of Elizabeth. During our earthly pilgrimage
towards God's kingdom, may we magnify the Lord whose greatness
endures from age to age, who lifts up the lowly, fills the starving
with good things, and comes to the help of His servants.

Our Lady of the Rosary of La Naval, Our Mother, first disciple of


your Son Jesus, intercede for us in our most earnest request (pause
for a moment and offer your petition).

May we, in turn heed your unceasing call to do whatever your Son
tells us to do. With your powerful intercession, we believe that what
is most difficult can be done, what we have overlooked, you cannot
miss, what is meaningless, bitter or painful can be transformed into
fulfillment, gratitude and joy. Amen.

76
PETITIONS TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY, LA NAVAL
DE MANILA

For every petition, we shall say:

THAT WE MAY FOLLOW WHATEVER YOUR SON TELLS US TO


DO.

You accepted the message of the angel. May each member of our
family recognize his personal annunciation and be given the grace
to fulfill his life's vocation. (Response)

You presented your newborn Son to the shepherds and the wise
men. May the birth of your Son in every person's heart enhance our
dignity and perfect us with his grace. (Response)

You found Jesus in the temple sitting among the teachers. May the
youthful Christ become our model in childlikeness, inspiration in
honest work, and the end of all our searching. (Response)
By the agony of Christ in the garden, may we find in prayer and in
one another, a reliable source of strength and support especially in
our moments of crisis and despair. (Response)

By the crowning of thorns of your Son, may we overcome the sins


of vanity, the false crown of pride, the thorns of impurity, and the
wounds of injustice. (Response)

By the crucifixion of your Son, may we obtain the grace of


forgiveness at the hour of our death and the consolation of your
promise to the repentant thief: "Truly, I say to you, today you shall
be with me in paradise" (Response)

77
By the resurrection of your Son, may we turn our weakness into
strength, indifference into involvement, oppression into freedom,
defeat into victory. (Response)

By the Spirit's descent on the Apostles, may we put our personal


gift and resources at the service of church and society. (Response)

Queen of the Holy Rosary, Mother of God, through your motherly


care for all mankind, help us to be caring stewards of the beauty and
bounty of the earth. (Response)

FINAL PRAYER

Queen of the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of La Naval,

We gather as one people in celebration of a battle fought and won; a


vow made and fulfilled; a time remembered and held dear; a
miracle experienced and kept alive; love received and returned;
your patronage sought and thanked for; God praised, God adored.

Mahal Naming Ina,

As our lips move in whispered prayers, our hands over beads, our
knees bend, our eyes look up to you, we plead for your mercy, your
grace, your love.

O Mother of Peace,

Give birth to God in our hearts. Give birth to Peace in our world.
Give birth to the Word who heals all strife, conquers sin with love,
overcomes death, brings us life. As once you interceded for the

78
victory of faith in these islands, pray for us, now in our struggle for
truth and justice, for peace and love in Christ.

O Queen of the Philippines,

In your loving hands, you hold Jesus, our God, our King, our
Savior. You hold Him for us to adore and serve, to love and find
salvation in. O Mother and Queen, our hearts may be small, but our
love is enormous. And we ask you to come and take your place in
us, in the company of your beloved Son; to bless us with your
abiding presence; to fill us and keep us in your love and protection;
to lead us in the eternal Fiat and Magnificat to God, in whose name
we gather. Amen

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY -
LA NAVAL DE MANILA

O most clement Virgin, O tenderest Mother, O sweet Mary,


comforter of the afflicted and refuge of sinners, Mediatrix between
God and men.

You are Noah's ark, our salvation in the deluge of sin, You are the
rainbow of peace, our reconciliation with God, You are the dove
that brings us the olive branch of peace. As a token of your
maternal love, you gave to the Catholic world, through your Son
Dominic, the Most Holy Rosary.

Through this devotion, pagans were converted, heretics brought


back the true fold, enemies of the Church vanquished, and Christian
society reformed.

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, we call on you for assistance. You
alone did overcome all heresies in the world. Deliver us now, your
Christian people from the snares of the devil. Great was your love
for this nation for when the enemies of the Catholic religion
threatened to take away our faith, you saved us miraculously
through the battles of La Naval and thus secured for yourself the
title Queen and Mother of the Philippines.

Look down with mercy on those who are deceived by the evil one,
that they may renounce their heresy and return to the unity of the
Catholic truth. Illumine our rulers that under your divine guidance
that they may govern this land as worthy representatives of God.
Inspire us all to study our religion, to fulfill the Commandments, to
receive the Sacraments which are essentials of true Christian life.

95
As we became Christians through your intercession, we also hope
to live such under your protection. With your rosary as our anchor,
we hope to reach that heavenly kingdom where for all eternally we
can have you as Our Queen and Christ our King. Amen.

SHORT PRAYERS TO OUR LADY OF OUR LADY OF THE


MOST HOLY ROSARY – LA NAVAL DE MANILA

O Virgin Mother, grant that the recitation of thy Rosary may be for
me each day, in the midst of my occupations, a bond of unity in my
actions, a sweet refreshment and an encouragement to walk joyfully
along the path of duty.

Grant above all, O dearest Mother that the meditation of the


mysteries may form in my soul little by little, a spiritual
atmosphere, strengthening and bracing, which will penetrate my
understanding, my will, my heart, my memory, my imagination, my
whole being, so that I may acquire a habit of praying while I work
without the use of formal prayers, by interior acts, especially by
aspirations of love. Amen

Queen of the Holy Rosary, Blessed Virgin of La Naval, you who


have defended our country from the attacks of infidelity, teach us
through the mysteries of your rosary to live as true Christians
reflecting the Father’s creative gifts, the Son’s redemptive merits,
the Holy Spirit’s radiating love. Make us, dear Mother, less
unworthy to accomplish God’s plan in us, you who are our life, our
sweetness, and our hope. Amen.

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO OUR LADY OF ROSARY

O Queen of the most Holy Rosary and Our Lady of Victory!


Joyfully do I come before thee on this day, commemorating the
many glorious victories gained through devotion to thy most Holy
Rosary. Thou hast promised that we may obtain all that we ask for
through the Holy Rosary. Filled, therefore with confidence, I cast
myself at thy feet, full of sorrow at the sight of my sins, yet full of
hope at the sight of thy mercy.

The first victory that I beg of thee, is a victory over the first enemy
of my soul—the devil, who, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking
whom he may devour. Thou, who hast crushed his influence and
plots in so many cases, crush, too, his influence in my life, so that
strengthened by thy help, I may resist the fiery darts of the evil one.
105
The second victory that I beg of thee, is a victory over my second
enemy—the world, of which the devil is prince. Help me to see its
emptiness, to flee its vanities, to resist its allurements, knowing that
"the friendship of this world is the enemy of God. Whosoever
therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of
God."

The third victory that I beg of thee, is a victory over my third


enemy—my own self, scarred and weakened by Original Sin. Help
me correct my values so that I may seek first the kingdom of God
and love Him with my whole heart, mind, soul and strength. Plant
in my mind and heart a great appreciation and desire for the
spiritual things in life; and to treasure them above any treasures of
this earth. Assist me in all my temptations; instruct me in all
virtues; help me pay for my past sins; remove me from the broad,
wide road that leads to perdition and guide me along the narrow
path that leads to Heaven.

The fourth victory that I beg of thee, is a victory for Holy Mother
Church over the diseases currently ravaging the Mystical Body of
Christ, namely those of Liberalism, Modernism, Indifferentism,
Secularism, Materialism and that terrible state, which God threatens
to vomit out of His mouth— Lukewarmness (Apoc. 3:16). Such is
the state of the Church, which made thee complain at Fatima that so
many souls go to Hell as there are none who pray and offer
sacrifices for them. Grant that I may not forget these souls and these
diseases in my daily Rosaries, for God has stated that the Rosary is
a remedy for our age, and I am confident of obtaining thy powerful
intercession on their behalf.

The fifth victory that I beg of thee, is a victory over all evil, and the
crown of glory in Heaven, for all my family, relatives, friends and
benefactors; for those entrusted to my care and for those in charge
106
over me. Obtain for them the graces and helps necessary to
overcome all obstacles to conversion, repentance and salvation.

For this end, do I consecrate to thee, O Queen of the most Holy


Rosary, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior,
and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future;
leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me and all
that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good
pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.
Amen. Thus I hope! Thus may it be!

ACT OF CONSECRATION OF CHRISTIAN FAMILIES IN


THE PHILIPPINES TO THE QUEEN OF THE MOST HOLY
ROSARY

Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary,


We consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart. We commend
to your loving care our families, and all families throughout the
Philippines, and the world. We beg you to pray for us that we may
fulfill our tasks of forming a community of persons; serving life;
participating in the development of the society; and sharing in the
life and mission of thE Church.

Mother Mary, full of grace,


We Ask for your intercession that every Filipino family may
become “an intimate community of life and love” and that we may
kindle our “mission to guard, reveal and communicate love,” a love
that “reflect God’s love for humanity and the love of Christ for His
Church.

Loving Mother of the Church,


We entrust to you all Filipino families that we may become truly a
domestic Church, mindful of its sacredness, inviolability, and its
107
beauty in God’s plan, so that in us and through us, Jesus, your Son
and our Savior, may be proclaimed as Lord. In fidelity to your
Son’s will for us, we are impelled by faith, propelled by hope, and
compelled by love. Amen.

SUPPLICATION TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY


(BLESSED BARTOLO LONGO)

O August Queen of Victories, O Sovereign of Heaven and Earth, at


whose name the heavens rejoice and the abyss trembles, O glorious
Queen of the Rosary, we your devoted children, assembled in your
temple of Pompeii, (on this solemn day), pour out the affection of
our heart and with filial confidence expresse our miseries to you.
From the throne of clemency, where you are seated as Queen, turn,
O Mary, your merciful gaze on us, on our families, on Italy, on
Europe, on the world. Have compassion on the sorrows and cares
which embitter our lives. See, O Mother, how many dangers of
body and soul, how many calamities and afflictions press upon us.
O Mother, implore for us the mercy of your divine Son and conquer
with clemency the heart of sinners. They are our brothers and your
children who cause the heart of our sweet Jesus to bleed and who
sadden your most sensitive heart. Show all that you are the Queen
of Peace and of Pardon.

Hail Mary.

It is true that although we are your children we are the first to


crucify Jesus by our sins and to pierce anew your heart. We confess
that we are deserving of severe punishment, but remember that, on
Golgotha, you received with the divine blood, the testament of the
dying Savior, who declared you to be our Mother, the Mother of
sinners.

108
You then, as our Mother, are our Advocate, our Hope. And we raise
our suppliant hands to you with sighs crying “Mercy!” O good
Mother, have pity on us, on our souls, on our families, our relatives,
our friends, our deceased, especially our enemies, and on so many
who call themselves Christian and yet offend the heart of your
loving Son. Today we implore pity for the misguided nations
throughout all Europe, throughout the world, so that they may
return repentant to your heart.

Hail Mary.

Kindly deign to hear us. O Mary! Jesus has placed in your hands all
the treasures of his graces and mercies. You are seated a crowned
Queen at the right hand of your Son, resplendent with immortal
glory above the choirs of angels. Your dominion extends
throughout heaven and earth and all creatures are subject to you.
You are omnipotent by grace and therefore you can help us. Were
you not willing to help us, since we are ungrateful children and
undeserving of your protection, we would not know to whom to
turn. Your motherly heart would not permit you see us, your
children, lost. The Infant whom we see on your knees and the
blessed rosary which we see in your hand, inspire confidence in us
that we shall be heard. We confide fully in you, we abandon
ourselves as helpless children into the arms of the most tender of
mothers, and on this day, we expect from you the graces we so long
for.

Hail Mary.

One last favor we now ask of you, O Queen, which you cannot
refuse us (on this most solemn day): Grant to all of us your
steadfast love and in a special manner your maternal blessing. We
shall not leave you until you have blessed us. Bless, O Mary, at this
109
moment, our Holy Father. To the ancient splendors of your crown,
to the triumphs of your Rosary, whence you are called the Queen of
Victories, add this one also, O Mother: grant the triumph of religion
and peace to human society. Bless our bishops, priests and
particularly all those who are zealous for the honor of your
sanctuary. Bless finally all those who are associated with your
temple of Pompeii and all those who cultivate and promote
devotion to your Holy Rosary.

O blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God,


bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation
against the assaults of hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we
shall never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of
agony: to you the last kiss of our dying life. And the last word from
our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of
Pompeii, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign
Consoler of the Afflicted. Be blessed everywhere, today and
always, on earth and in Heaven. Amen.

111
THE ROSARY CONFRATERNITY

The Rosary Confraternity is a spiritual association of the Catholic


Church, the members of which strive to pray the entire Rosary
during the course of one week. They form a union of hundreds of
thousands of the faithful throughout the world who, along with their
own intentions, include the intentions and needs of all its members.

As the Cure of Ars said: “If anyone has the happiness of being in
the Confraternity of the Rosary, he has in all corners of the world
brothers and sisters who pray for him.”

Or, as Pope Leo XIII stated in his apostolic constitution on the


Confraternity, “whenever a person fulfills his obligation of reciting
the Rosary according to the rule of the Confraternity, he includes in
his intentions all its members, and they in turn render him the same
service many times over” (Ubi Primum, 1).

Those members include the faithful departed, who enrolled during


their lifetime, and who continue to pray for us after death. And so
we know that we are included in the prayers of countless members,
both now and hereafter. Sadly, those who have already died cannot
be enrolled in the Confraternity.

Those who pray the Rosary regularly would do well to enroll in the
Confraternity to gain additional spiritual benefits for each Rosary
they pray.
112
OBLIGATIONS

Each member strives to pray the twenty mysteries of the Rosary


each week (this does not bind under sin), and must have his/her
name inscribed in the register of the Confraternity. There are no
meetings, and no dues. As we pray, we pray also for the intentions
of all the other members of the Rosary Confraternity worldwide,
living and deceased.

Those who recite only the fifteen traditional mysteries will continue
to share in the benefits of the Rosary Confraternity until some
official source declares the contrary.

The phrase ‘this does not bind under sin’ means that if you do not
fulfill the obligation, it is NOT a sin, not even a venial one. Of
course, you miss out on the graces and blessings that would have
come through your prayers.

BENEFITS

1. The special protection of the Mother of God.


2. A share in the prayer of many hundreds of thousands of
members the world over, even after death.
3. A share in the prayers, Masses and apostolic works of the
entire Order of Preachers.
4. The intercession of the entire heavenly court.
5. Various plenary and partial indulgences.

113
INDULGENCES

1. For members of the Rosary Confraternity, a plenary


indulgence, under the usual conditions, is granted:
a. on the day of enrollment. (When application is made, a
certificate of membership is sent, indicating the day of
the enrollment.)
b. on the following feast days: Christmas, Easter,
Annunciation, Purification, Assumption, Our Lady of the
Rosary, and Immaculate Conception.

2. For those who pray the Rosary, a plenary indulgence is


granted under the usual conditions, when the Rosary is prayed
in Church, or in a Public Oratory, in a family (family Rosary),
Religious Community, or Pious Association. Otherwise, a
partial indulgence is granted.

3. A partial indulgence is granted to those who use a Rosary


blessed by a priest (see below), even if five decades are not
recited. The indulgence is plenary on the feast of Sts. Peter
and Paul, if the blessing was performed by the pope or a
bishop.

A FEW NOTES ON INDULGENCES

1. An indulgence is the cancellation of temporal punishment due


for sin, when the sin’s guilt has already been pardoned.

2. An indulgence is partial if it frees the Christian partially from


the temporal punishment due for his sins, plenary if it frees
him wholly.

114
3. Both partial and plenary indulgences can always be applied to
the dead, but only by way of suffrage.

4. Since the Apostolic Constitution of Pope St. Paul VI on


Indulgences, a partial indulgence is no longer expressed in
reference to time, i.e. days or years.

5. A plenary indulgence can be gained only once a day, except


by those on the threshold of death.

6. To gain a plenary indulgence the person must perform the


indulgenced act, and satisfy these conditions: Sacramental
Confession, Holy Communion, prayer for the Pope’s
intention, and freedom from all attachment to sin, even venial
sin. If this detachment is not present, or if any of the above
conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence is partial.

ROSARY CONFRATERNITY PRAYER


(To be prayed daily after the Rosary)

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and Mother of us all, we come to


you for help in our sorrows, trials and necessities. Sin leaves us
weak and helpless but Divine Grace heals and strengthens.

We ask for the grace to love Jesus as you loved Him, to believe as
you believed, to hope as you hoped; we ask to share your purity of
mind and heart. Give us true sorrow for sin and make us love
people as you and Jesus loved them. Obtain for us the gifts of the
Holy Spirit that we may be wise with your wisdom, understand with
your understanding, know with your knowledge, be prudent with
your prudence, be patient with your patience, be courageous with

115
your fortitude and desire justice ardently for everyone with the all
consuming desire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus your Son.

Open our minds that as we pray the Rosary we will understand the
teachings of the Gospel contained in its mysteries.

We pray especially for the members of the Rosary Confraternity


whom we love. Help them wherever they may be; guide them,
watch over them and make them strong in their trials and suffering.
We are drawn together by a common bond of great charity for you
and for each other; keep us faithful to your Son and to your Rosary
until death.

Intercede for the souls in Purgatory, especially for the members of


the Rosary Confraternity who have died. May they rest in peace.
Finally we ask for grace of final perseverance for ourselves and for
our loved ones that we may all be reunited in heaven forever.

Saint Dominic, you who received so much Grace and Strength from
the Rosary, pray for us.

116
THE PERPETUAL ROSARY ASSOCIATION

The aim of the Perpetual Rosary is to praise, bless and invoke at all
hours of the day and night, Mary, the Mother of God, our own
Mother, in filial acknowledgement of the duties we have towards
her and the numberless benefits we have towards her and the
numberless benefits we have received and continuously receive
from her bounty; also to ask for all those graces of which we are
always in need, likewise, for those graces needed by the Holy
Church and by our fellowmen.

On your assigned day, go to confession and receive Holy


Communion if possible; or else, prepare yourself with an act of
contrition. Make the intention of gaining the indulgences, and fulfill
your Guard Hour kneeling down or in the best manner possible.
Apply the first part of the Rosary to those who are in the state of
mortal sin; the second, to those who may be dying at that time; the
third, to all the living and the dead associates of the Holy Rosary.

Every Guard of Hour should be a propagator of the devotion of the


Holy Rosary, brining as many persons as possible to enroll in the
Association. He should always carry the rosary with him, praying it
daily; as befits a good Christians.

117
Its Timeliness

The first characteristic of any work is its timelessness. By virtue,


thereof, it takes root in society, lives a prosperous life and produces
inestimable good. It is not difficult to notice this characteristic of
timeliness in the Perpetual Rosary.

1st – It is a continuous prayer and thence a perpetual reminder to a


world that does not pray;
2nd – It is a fountain of graces with which to regenerate our ailing
society;
3rd – It makes us know and glorify Mary;
4th – It gives the Lady a Guard of Honor, which defends her against
her enemies;
5th – It defends the militant Church, as it has been doing since its
foundation;
6th It alleviates the soul in Purgatory; and,
7th – it causes the spread of the Confraternity of the Rosary, the
practices of which must be followed in order that one be a member
of the Perpetual Rosary.

each hour of the day beginning t 12 midnight ending af the same
Section must be registered for the same day.

119
Sunday Division

Inasmuch as many devotees of the Blessed Virgin Mary cannot


belong to the large division of thirty days, due to work, there have
been created special divisions for them, for, thy say, “we also love
Mary and would like to form part of the Guard of Honor”. The
Sunday Divisions comprise the Five Sundays of the month. The
Division Head has under him five section chiefs for the five
Sundays of the month. This Section chiefs selects the associates for
all the hours of his assigned day. When the month has only four
Sundays, they shall fulfill their Guard-Hour on a Feast Day, if there
be any, or lese on the First Saturday of the succeeding months,
according as to how they are instructed by their respective section
chiefs.

This method has been the double advantage of being perfectly


regular and facilitating the sanctifying of Sunday by the members.

c. To bind oneself to fulfill the Hour, praying once every
month the twenty decades of the Holy Rosary, on the
assigned hour and day, set aside in the admission
diploma.

2. Persons, who do not know how to read or are unable to do so,

their Hour. If they should have any time left, they may say
some other prayers or repeat the Rosary till the whole hour is
consumed.

3. To gain the plenary indulgence granted to anyone doing the


guard hour, one must go to confession and receive Holy
Communion, and visiting the Chapel of the Rosary or any

indulgence the day they assume their post under usual
conditions aforementioned in number 3. Besides, they gain
partial indulgence for every act proper to the Association, such
as encouraging others to join the association, attending
leaflets, etc.

5. Lastly, neither the fulfillment of the Hour nor an of the things
to which the Guard of Hour binds himself obligates himself

Hour is not an associate, he shall not gain the indulgence
although he shall have the merit of the good work he does; if

hour, as soon as possible.

hoy association, commit any sin?
A: No, he merely fails to gain the indulgences and
unnumerable graces granted the association; but he commits
no sin, neither mortal nor venial.
4. Q: May persons, who have only one-half hour at their
disposal, associate with another to complete the Guard Hour?
A: Yes, but they should, every week, pray whatever is lacking
in order to fulfill the complete rosary.
5. Q: When one cannot fulfill the assigned hour by reason of a
legitimate cause, may he change the hour?
A: Yes, it will be convenient, however, to inform the Section
Chief so that he may look for another to fulfill that hour.

without the sacraments of the Church.

133
NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL SANTISIMO ROSARIO – LA
NAVAL DE MANILA
The Queen and Protectress of the Philippines

The history of Intramuros and of the Philippine Catholic Church is


not complete without mentioning the miraculous image of Nuestra
Señora del Santisimo Rosario - La Naval de Manila and her
significance.

The image of the Virgin of La Naval de Manila, also called the


"Santo Rosario," was carved in 1593 by an unknown Chinese
Sculptor upon the request of the Governor General of the
134
Philippines - Don Luis Perez Dasmariñas and the art direction of
the officer turned Dominican Priest Don Hernando de los Rios
Coronel. Years later, the image was donated to the Dominican
Fathers and was enshrined in her altar in the Gospel Side of the
church. Miracles were later reported through the intercession of the
Virgin of the Rosary of Santo Domingo Church.

The devotion to the Santo Rosario reached its peak with the Five
Naval battles of 1646 where the Spanish-Filipino troops protected
the islands from invading Dutch. The two old ill-equipped
Galleons, the Encarnacion and the Rosario were able to defend the
islands against 18 big and well-equipped warships. Before the
battle, the whole armada vowed to walk barefoot to her shrine in
Santo Domingo if victory will be theirs - and it happened, they
fulfilled this vow and the Arzobispado of Manila declared the
victory a miracle through the intercession of the Santo Rosario
which was later called as the Virgin of La Naval and a Grand
Festival is to commemorate the event, and the festivities are well
attended. The festivities became well known and well attended
which is culminated with her grand fiesta procession dubbed as the
“Procesion de las Procesiones” because of its sheer grandness and
historical significance that is unmatched up to the present.

With numerous miracles that she continued to lavish her devotees,


she was Pontifically Crowned on October 5, 1907, in Plaza
Magallanes in Intramuros and the event was well attended by
Filipinos, Spaniards, and Americans. She was the first Filipino
Marian image to receive such honor from the Holy See.

During the Second World War, the Santo Domingo Church was
destroyed yet the Virgin and other images, along with almost all
important documents were kept in a vault and were transferred at
the University of Santo Tomas. The image was later transferred in
135
1954 to a new Santo Domingo Church in Quezon City and was
declared her National Shrine by the Catholic Bishops Conference of
the Philippines. In October 1973, she was named as the patroness of
Quezon City, at that time the national capital.

During the Papal Visit of St. John Paul II to the Philippines in 1981,
at the presence of the crowd and the original image of the Virgin of
La Naval, she was proclaimed as the "Queen and Protectress of the
Philippines and the whole of Asia" and dedicated the Asian
continent to the Virgin on February 18, 1981.
