When finished with the main portion of the rosary, it is customary to meditate and offer a closing prayer. |

|
Prayer After The Rosary: O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that, meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
V. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
R. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. |

Hail, Holy Queen: Hail, holy Queen,
Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee we cry,
poor banished children of Eve; to thee we send up our sighs, mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious Advocate,
thy eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin
Mary. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.

The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. (Said while making the sign of the Cross by moving the right hand from the forehead to the chest, to the left shoulder, then to the right shoulder.)
