The Chaplet of the Immaculate Conception
A chaplet honoring the Immaculate Conception, the doctrine that Mary was preserved free from original sin from the first moment of her existence, defined by Blessed Pius IX in 1854.
Begin:
V. O God, come to my assistance.
R. O Lord, make haste to help me. 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.
On each of the large beads:
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God.
On each of the small beads (four groups of three, honoring the Blessed Trinity):
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.
Conclude:
O most pure Virgin Mary, conceived without sin, obtain for me from thy Divine Son the grace to keep my heart free from every stain, that I may love Him with a pure and undivided love all the days of my life. Amen.
V. In thy conception, O Virgin, thou wast immaculate.
R. Pray for us to the Father, whose Son thou didst bear.
