on the Mountain Council 7640 Brother and Sir Knight Patrick L. Barrett,
Past Grand Knight and Past State Deputy who was taken in death to
the presence of our Order's Patroness and Her Sonon April 8, 2001.
May his soul and the souls of all our Brother Knights rest in Peace.
The
Rosary
The Knights
of Columbus is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Order
fosters devotion to Our Lady and, in particular, encourages its
members and their families to pray the rosary as often as possible.
Every new member
of the Knights of Columbus receives a rosary. Each month through
this program thousands of rosaries, which have been blessed by the
Order's supreme chaplain, Bishop Thomas V. Daily of Brooklyn, New
York, are distributed. In addition, the Supreme Council office offers
rosary prayer cards, audio cassettes featuring the praying of the
rosary and booklets on this devotion.
How to Pray the Rosary of The
Blessed Virgin
Saying the Rosary in meditation is one of the highest forms of prayer
through which we venerate Mary (centered on her son Jesus) and deepen
our awareness of the meaning of Jesus' life, death, resurrection,
and ascension. The Knights of Columbus, under the leadership of
Supreme Knight Virgil C. Dechant, have pledged devotion to the Blessed
Virgin Mary and present special "Knights of Columbus Rosary"
to each new member enrolled in the society.
Marian devotion
expresses an authentic Catholic spirituality altogether suited to
both the present and the future of the people of God. Join with
us as we meditate on the unfolding mysteries of Jesus Christ in
the World.

The Apostles' Creed
I Believe 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 Spirit, 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,
and is 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 Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life
everlasting. Amen.
Our 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
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou
among 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
Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.
O My Jesus
O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell,
lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need
of Thy mercy.
Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our
hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee
do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of
tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards
us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of
thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. L: Pray
for us, O holy Mother of God. R: That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.
