IV. Introductory Prayers
- I belive in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried: He descended into hell, the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth 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 Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
- Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. ** Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
- 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, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
- Glória Patri, et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. ** Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen
- O my Jesus, foregive us our sins; save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.
- Ave, ave, ave Maria (sung)

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ, vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte; Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix.

Oremus.
Deus, cuius Unigenitus per vitam, mortem et resurrectionem suam, nobis salutis aeternae praemia comparavit, concede, quaesumus: ut haec mysteria sacratissimo beatae Mariae Virginis Rosario recolentes, et imitemur quod continent, et quod promittunt assequamur. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
VII. Collect of St. Louis
Oremus. Deus, qui beatum Ludovicum confessorem tuum, de terreno ac temporali regno ad caelestis et aeterni regni gloriam transtulisti, eius quesumus meritis et intercessione regis regum Iesu Christi filii tui nos cohaeredes efficias, et eiusdem regni tribuas esse consortes. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
O God, Who didst give unto thy blessed Confessor Louis a glorious change from an earthly kingdom unto a heavenly one, grant unto us, we beseech thee, for his sake and by his prayers, one day to enter like him into the Presence of the King of kings, thy Son Jesus Christ. Who with thee liveth and reigneth, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen
VIII. Memorare
For the continued preservation of the statue of Saint Louis
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee. O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
IX. Saint Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
X. For the intentions of the Holy Father
- Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. ** Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
- 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, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
- Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
XI. For the archbishop, clergy, and religious in the archdiocese of St. Louis
- Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. ** Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
