The Rosary is prayed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament Mass, Tuesday to Saturday before Mass.
Prayer for the Elderly Dear Lord, as my life declines and my energies decrease, hold me by Your power. Give me strength to work in Your service until the last day of my life. Help me to ever have a dread of sin, or whatever would cause the slightest loss of Your grace. All day long and at night keep me close to Your Heart. Finally, may
I come rejoicing to that vision of Your beauty, never to be separated from You. ~ Amen
